Sorry guys, got to pop off for a bit........

Pull the chain this time please. We don't want to have to get Rod The Rod out again as he's got a few too many penchants

MY forum format has changed whilst I wasn't looking.

I don't know how to change it back.

I don't like it........

Black dog is here, fk it all

[Bomma220]

Coop gone off has he? Hope he's not gone up to that boatyard, we're not quite ready yet.

Anyhow, had a look at the leak, just a bit of pointing up needs doing around the flashing.

Lobster?

[lucido grigio]

The rather lovely Kelis is on tv.

Tonight Matthew I'm going to be Tutankhamun.....or Cleopatra.

[DickyC]

The Black Dog reference is worrying. Or it is if it's Churchillian rather than the pub in Trivbury.

You okay, coop?

[lucido grigio]

Coop is 're enacting the closing line from my favourite Big Bang Theory episode.

Sheldon Coop......."You need to drive me home "

Raj......."Why, ?"

Sheldon ....."There's a big dog outside "



ETA....seems I left a few lines out,no one will notice.

In the crockery department were plates marked as seconds. We always had seconds on the same plate. It never occurred to us to use separate plates. Etiquette is a complex business.

[Bomma220]

I've been in the kitchen checking ours. Nothing untowards so far, but it's certainly something to watch out for.

[anonymous-user]

If it's a roast we normally have thirds too. Too many plates for the table.

There has to be a better way.

[Bomma220]

Last time we did a big roast most of the guests, having had seconds and thirds, decided they'd like to take some of the leftovers home.

Paper plates we used. With a bit of clingfilm. fk 'em.

No, no. I meant in the crockery department of the local department store. I just didn't want to write department twice in the same sentence.

How posh would you have to be to have a set of plates devoted to seconds? It would be like having yet another course of dinner. The staff would be in uproar.

I'm free.

[Bomma220]

Oh, I see. I'll put this lot back then.

The old dog's been chasing a magpie around the garden. The magpie shows no sign of giving up, neither does the dog.

Is that some sort of omen?

[DickyC]

The rejuvenation of Mrs C's car is about as good as the paintshop could get it and I dearly wanted to post pics of the transformation along with a hearty recommendation of the sprayer and his business. It's not as easy as that. It went back three times with them getting increasingly irritable with me and the estimate of £600 became a final bill of £1,000. Plus the new bits I bought. I've just washed it for the first time since it came back and it has flecks of polishing compound all over it. And I mean all over it. Its now baked on hard and will take a day to get it all off.

Sigh.

You're fighting a losing battle trying to keep the SLK in a nice condition DC ,with incompetent workmanship ,including from M Benz initially....

Remind us where you were in the queue when they were dishing out good luck. Time you reached the front they'd run out, hadn't they?

You of all people, Luci! You've followed the ups and downs of Mrs C's SLK for years. Oh, hang on, you're being the Devil's Advocate by proxy.

Carry on.

I reckon the running battle with the SLK is a triumph of perseverance, endurance and tenacity. A fine example to us all, congratulations Dicky.

Anyhow, I've managed to do the bit of pointing up on the porch without too much drama. Nice bit of roast pork for dinner so that'll be nice. With a few slivers of garlic in it too I'd wager.

Three bits of recent bad luck must equal a piece of good luck, right?
