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

[DickyC]

Eight minutes past four and the race hasn't started.

Has it started? I can't see anything from here.

[Bomma220]

It's started alright, bloody corridor's full of smoke. Somebody's gone off at Staircase. Merlin sliding all over the shop at the moment, Bobberoo very sideways through Cludgie. Pushfit in the lead but has a misfire, another good clip of the wainscoting there. Oof.

[DickyC]

All I have on the monitors is a mad bloke in a kilt running the wrong way round the circuit.

By the bye, does Battert have any Scottish blood in him can you recall?

[DickyC]

And is there an abandoned Haggis Trolley anywhere on the circuit or in the Paddock?

His grandfather was injured at Culloden, he fell down the steps of a Wallace Arnold coach. A St John's chap sorted him out in the tearooms.

Looking good for the Merlin now, tyres have warmed up nicely...

[DickyC]

Apologies for cutting across the race commentary but do you think it would be all right if the baked potatoes were served in the tagliatelli bowls? It's a case of needs must I'm afraid.

I've dropped a turbine blade!

We I say dropped - it's gone clean through the sideboard and bathroom wall and ricocheted off the lathe and into the cludgie. We're just sorting out a loose castor too and will be back in for the 4,715th lap.

Was that your lathe Bomma? It needs a new chuck now. What was it doing in the bathroom?

Just part of the pit crew, had to drag it in there out of the way. Needed to prop up the loose cistern as that bugger's leaking again now.

Bloody smoke's getting silly now. I can't see where I'm going.

Driving to my folks yesterday along the A3 into London and a beautiful F40 came screaming past, what a stunning noise it made and even in the daylight I could see flames from the exhaust when he lifted off

I saw my first La Ferrari today, only on static display but a good looking car

Hello........
Helllllooooo........
Is there anybody there........


The smokes clearing a little I can just make out..........


What on earth?????? How the hell did I end up in the small barn!?!?!?! The last thing I remember was a huge bang, a flash of blue and red, and a howling Merlin engine whizzing past my left ear!!!! Can anyone tell me what the hell happened!?!?!?!?

[Bomma220]

Fuel leak apparently old chap, sorry about that. Thought we'd got the lines far enough away from the manifold but obviously not.

Anyhow, a good afternoon. How is the small barn these days? Not been down there for ages.

Sports cars in the park? Good display (if a little chav in places)

Yes to be fair the racing was close, the marshals didn't interfere too much and despite the rubbing, nudging and final explosion I really enjoyed it!!! the small barn on the other hand not so good, I appear to have entered through the roof, ricocheted off an old tractor and come to rest embedded in the background wall, still the custard creams trolley looks to be fairly intact bar a bent crossbrace!!!!!!

[Bomma220]

Good Lord, is that old tractor still in there?

I'll pop down in the morning and have a proper look.

Congratulations on a good race old chap

Thanks old bean although to be fair I don't remember the end I just remember waking up in the small barn! Who actually won??? The tractor looks remarkably well preserved!!!

[Jim AK]

Hmmm.

Seems it all went very well. Who was piloting the biscuit trolley?

They crashed off at Cludgie Corner & as you can see I`ve just spent 20 minutes sweeping up the remnants!

Am also rather concerned to note somebody entered the race purporting to be me!! I spent the weekend in Taunton.

Uuummm weren't you supposed to be on a top secret mission and we were your alibi!?!?!

Well someone was driving the Bentley?

No doubt it'll all become clear after the inquiry. We might even find out who actually won.

[Bomma220]

Taunton?

[anonymous-user]

Where's everybody gone?

I think I'm in the Deptford sewage treatment works all I remember is a big bang and then it all went black.

There's a strange bloke here who smells of perfume who's just given me a fiver and walked off.

Why is my backside sore?
