I thought they could have made something out of UR11.
UR 11? 
Nope, still no idea.
Perhaps I'm too fick?
My life is filled with regrets.
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
Morning fellow Trivialites 
It feels like something furry crawled into my mouth and made a nest last night!!
I may have overindulged a tad with the whisky when we got home!!
Still it's the weekend and our busy schedule continues at pace, a spot of vegetable shopping, off to watch my Aunt sing with her choir in Southampton and then off to Mrs Bobbers Aunt and uncle's for a meal and an evening of games!!
What are you lot up to???

We need to start planning our escape transgenderfication realignment move to the shiny new Volume, I've been rummaging around in the barns, the big hangar and the Sunderland and have managed to scrape together two large liferafts, a small liferaft and a kayak, hopefully this will be sufficient for our move across to the new Volume, hopefully Bomma's got the good ship Venus shipshape and glenrobbo's plan can be put into action!!!

Ah, here you are, hiding on Page Two!
Right, gather round and listen very carefully.
I weel say zees urnly wurnce:
All those that have paid the charitable contribution, please make your way in an orderly fashion over to the small hangar with your valuables and await further instruction from Bobbers and Bomma.
Those that haven't yet paid, I'd advise you to get a move on or you'll miss getting a place and risk being incarcerated by the Triton WI and the Vicar.
If any of you cannot swim, don't worry, you will be handed a lateral float test before embarking on this great adventure to Volume 38
Are they any questions? No? Right, let's crack on then!
Er, i don't know how to tell you this glenrobbo, but you're a couple of pages early for the jump to Volume 38!!!Right, gather round and listen very carefully.

And the small inflatable liftraft has a bit of a leak, so whoever goes in that will need a pump too!!!!
Not all the thinking no, just 97.899% of it!!!
I've found a rubber bung type thing in one of the boxes in the scrungeon, it's a bit of an odd shape but should do the trick!!
Unfortunately i have to go out tonight, could someone else take over the Volumehumping jumping duties for me???
