The Snickers ice cream must have been old.

The peanuts were chewy.

I'll let you know if I die of anything.

[DickyC]

Does the Snickers Ice Cream Trolley have a chill compartment?

I think the usherettes* might just put them back in the freezer when they've done their rounds.

Twelve-year-old Rahul was named Child Genius 2017 in a tense final on Saturday night in which he saw off one of the youngest entrants in the competition.

Rahul captured the imagination of audiences earlier in the competition after he gained full marks in a spelling test and correctly memorised the order of a pack of cards.

He had been expecting to do battle with 11-year-old Joshua but Ronan’s knowledge of 1666 London saw him secure a spot in the final.

Both the grand finalists scored 15 in their specialist fields, with Rahul focusing on Edward Jenner’s medical innovation and methodology in 18th-century England.

Yeah. Whatever. But could they set the tappets on an A-Series BMC engine in the dark? I could.

I've been looking at the possibility of a retrofit chiller thing on the Snickers* trolley.

As the basic structure originates from the 60's, all I can find to work from is this:



Bit disappointing as most of the fittings are no longer available.

I'll have a lie down and think about it.

Correctathon.

Had it been a Marathon ice cream I would have guessed it was old prior to eating it.

What ho chaps!! Sorry for my continued tardiness, this weekend i have mainly been doing wife related "stuff", just a quick check in before we head orf to see an ailing friend!
I'll be back later to see if the Bend Over has resurfaced, as after cleaning it out(still say it was Penrose FING PELICAN!!!) it appears to have slipped it's mooring and, well, VANISHED!!!!
See you around 20.30 for a check up, sorry i mean check in!!!

One engine blow up too many?

[Bomma220]

I've been over to the hangar and am pleased to report the Lemon Drizzle Sponge Trolley is operational again.

Yay go us.

I'll bring it in the orangery around 19.45.

Didn't actually blow up. Just broke the water seal

[Bomma220]

Nobody having cake? I'll have it then, there's only about a dozen bits anyhow

[Bobberoo99]

I don't know what's happening with that. Pushfit's not been around today, maybe he's down there trying to shift the bugger?

Any more news on the Cromer business?

[Bobberoo99]

Well i don't want to spread any rumours but the last i heard the police were seeking "A large black and while big billed heavyset obnoxious violent drunk heavily armed avian!" so guess we're denying all knowledge and drinking as normal yeah?!?!?!?

[Bomma220]

Sounds nothing like Penrose, he's not heavy set at all. Medium at best, I've always been quite particular with his diet.

As you were chaps....

[Bobberoo99]

No i knew it would be nothing to do with him, i mean, he's such an amiable easy going sort.....................

[Bomma220]

Unfortunately the poor chap's very much misunderstood and thus attracts unfounded criticism.

The business with Jim's boat was an accident. It was as far as the insurance claim goes anyhow.

[Bomma220]

Incidentally, I notice the Council thread's up to 9,996 posts. Wonder how they'll get on with their move?

Probably claim squatter's rights and sit it out to about 11,000 I suppose

[Bobberoo99]

I know how he feels, i was SSSOOOOOO sure that last chocolate biscuit was mine, but ooohhhhhhhh no SWMBO swore (and i mean SWORE!!!!!!!) it was hers but oohhhh no i'm never allowed to forget am i????

[Bomma220]

I've just been admonished for scoffing the Lemon Drizzle cake.

Nobody told me it was four days' supply.

Four days? Would have been as dry as a nun's wotsit.
