Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 29)

[DickyC]

My lords, ladies and trivialites;

Start your trivia!

[DickyC]

It's lonely here.

I've been here for ages.

On my own.

[DickyC]

Au contraire.

[DickyC]

Jolly good. Good show. I'll leave that with you, then.

Roger Dog, Charlie Wilko and out.


I'm off to work.

[DickyC]

I'm watching you, sunshine.

AAAHHHH BKS!!!! I missed the breakfast roll trolley!!!

The breakfast menu at Greggs at the Services runs until 11. Except it doesn't. They ALWAYS run out of bacon early.

A re-enactment of Falling Down or go earlier?

Falling Down or go early.






I went early.

It's important.

Anyway, have I missed the elevenses trolley?

Sadly, yes. Routine maintenance on our usual Elevenses Trolley meant Battert and Mrs B drafted in the one built for Wellington's funeral. It's big, absurdly ornate and colossally heavy but once up to temperature keeps delicacies warm as far as the Watchman's hut. If anyone sees them struggling along the path by the cricket pitch please lend a hand. Thank you.

[DickyC]

It should have been horse drawn really. Cast iron, solid wheels; ridiculous.

One of the selling points of the IL76 was its ability to host cricket matches in the hold.

Mind you, my Russian isn't what it was. They may have saying something entirely different.

Apparently I didn't make myself clear. Land the plane at tea when the chaps are in the pavilion and resume after tea in the plane's hold. Tell 'em night time cricket is all the rage. Tell 'em they just need pink balls.

[DickyC]

Muster at seven?

Seven?

In my day we'd have had the decks swabbed and been under way by seven all shipshape and Bristol fashion.

And that was in the Lagonda. Imagine if boats had been involved.

[DickyC]

Velocity see? Do you mean Velocity C?

Velocity was always V in my day.

I was never really happy with equations though.

Perhaps it is C.

Carry on.

We had them thrown out. Awful table manners. No, nonexistent table manners as I recall.

All done. went to a 97p store and got ripped off paying £1 for an assortment of nails. borrowed a hammer off the neighbour the off license. bed fine....for now!

Fearless and resourceful, eh? We may have a job for you. Mrs B reported something sinister happening in the dovecote. Battert has refused to assist. He was locked in there as child before the inauguration of the more civilised Naughty Step. All hush-hush at present. If it turns out it's simply Mrs Brassington and her excesses we'd have the papers involved. And we don't need any of that nonsense just this side of the Harvest Festival.

Morning all. I see the Sopwith's gone, Coop must be on his way to Guernsey.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit alcohol smoking sniffing glue amphetamines Irn Bru.

[DickyC]

I'm a little exercised at present, Bomma. On a visit to Homebase I had to fight really hard to not say to everyone in there that the holes in my jeans were a result of good honest toil and not a fashion statement. It was exhausting.

When I've recovered sufficiently I'll organise a search party with Cromer undertones.

Henry Blogg. He was the bloke.

[DickyC]

Lifeboat indeed. Coxswain of the Cromer Lifeboat. Awarded the George Cross. Also a crab fisherman and hirer out of beach huts and deckchairs.

Top bloke.

Ok chaps, who forgot to brim the fuel tank, bloody Sopwith nearly didn't make it, thought I was going to have to put down in the drink!!

You realise this means we have to watch the Aviators Scene from A Night At The Opera, don't you?

That's it!

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars.


Sorry, I've been on YouTube.

Terrific, isn't it?

There's a market for Marx Brothers' films edited down to the funny stuff, I'm sure of it. Cut out Zeppo's singing and all the other straight stuff and concentrate on Groucho, Chico and Harpo. Tough on Zeppo? It's okay, he won't know.
