Tell us Something Really Trivial about your Life (VOL 30)

[DickyC]

You were new once, weren't you, V6? Admittedly, I did go to school with your father. That gave you a sort if hereditary start here. I suppose. But what of Bomma? If I'd been at school with his father I'd be as old as Battert. Thinking about it, we were all new posters at one time.

Does that clear things up?

[DickyC]

There's a chance they're replicas.

[DickyC]

The cars not the Kuwatis.

[DickyC]

Sorry. Fell asleep in front of the telly.

Good evening chaps I've had a very pleasant evening tonight catching up with an old/new friend!!
I also notice incontinence has withdrawn for conversation, shame that, i'm already missing his sparkling wit, ernest incites and broadmindedness, however, what kind of fkwit threatens to set the moderators onto TT just because we won't change TT to suit him, well, fk HIM!!!!!

I didn't understand the Calculus but similarly failed to have it banned.

"Puckoon" by Spike Milligan

Yes, Puckoon.


Anyone tried The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien? Have a go at it. Persevere. It's extraordinary. And worth the effort.

No wonder no ones getting off the tube train as there’s bloke on the platform with latex gloves on

I met a bloke in Southsea once who looks for all the world like this fella. In Southsea it was. Or down that way, anyway. There were no tube trains. That much I remember.

[DickyC]

Could have been Fareham. No tube trains anyway.

[DickyC]

He threatened to tell the Prefects on us.

"Those boys had their eyes open during prayers."

Was it somewhere in Wales? There’s no tube trains there for sure.

They missed an opportunity there, do you see? They could have laid the track in the floor of the valleys and then covered them over. Like the cut and cover technique used in London but without the cut. Just the cover. Saved millions it would.

Norma says to say thanks. If I see you.

Of course, Battert abandoned his plans for an underground railway between the house and control tower with stations at sundry hangers and barns en route after I asked why he had proposed it. He said it was to do with the public right of way through the grounds. He said ramblers were forever mistaking him for an employee of the estate and an underground railway would allow him uninterrupted progress. I pointed out he is an employee. He said we don't pay him. I said he works in return for board and lodging and access to transport and any amount of Avgas. Plus an enormous amount of leeway and other perks. He walked off muttering but it did prevent a lot of upheaval.

[DickyC]

Small.

Far away.

[DickyC]

On goats certainly. We'd never hear the end of it.

I know a guy who is a genius at repairing aluminium If that is of interest. I know him so well I've forgotten his name. He works in Bradfield near Reading; I could drive straight there. He does stuff like welding up cracks in alloy wheels and then machining them to take off the worst of the weld and get it all back to true.

A truce? I'll enquire of the Committee when next they meet to consider your suggestion.

If, in the meantime, a Truce Trolley comes round I'll buy one. If there are any still in date.

That's fair, isn't it?

As I expected. Nothing to explain, nothing to ' get '. Just nonsense with outsiders not welcome.

Try and relax into it nonse. Let it wash over you.

On a serious note, could you find an example of a newcomer being made unwelcome, please? We take such allegations very seriously and try to find a path to mollify the alligator. When you arrived and started welcoming new posters we gave you an honorary position here; you were made the official TT Meeter and Greeter. Have you forgotten already? There was talk of a ceremonial uniform. No talk of a stipend obviously with the position being honorary and all. Is that it? Is it money you're after?

Im near Coulsdon / Reigate area, 6ock position on M25, don't care where I take it as long as it's not norf of Luton.

Passport run out?

that could be very handy, thanks. I am going to give the engineering company one more week, if they still have done nothing I will collect parts and move forward. I have contacted loads of companies, many do not bother returning emails or calls.
Im looking for a company that is prepared to produce "one of" parts.

I'll call in to see him and show him the pics. See what he has to say.

Quite happy to sponsor/recommend Scotland glenrobbo, I'm fairly confident I'm paying off most of their national debt with the amount of whisky I buy!!!!!!
Moved on from the old Euphoria stuff to the first Ministry of Sound Addicted to Bass, 2009!!!!!!!!

I read that as Old Euphoria being a brand of whisky. It wasn't until I got to the Ministry of Sound that I realised my error.

I’ve read, reread and tried to think about the five axis thing.

Nope. Still absobloodyluteky no idea. At all.

Think of it this way. We'll see you in the Lounge Bar of The Five Axis as soon as you're able.

As much as anything they came third in the National Scotch Egg Championship of 2010.
