Cheers for link GOG.

I like the sound of that. Il be a Man on a Mission next week now, that will please `The cost centres`!!

Just got in from the nephew's wedding.

Bride looked stunning but as said she is pretty in anything.

Now I can stop pretending and go back to being a sad loser.

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

The man's certainly got bottle undertaking a mission like that single - handed.

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

[Bomma220]

According to NP&E, Cromer is in Lockdown at the moment?

I've not read any of it, I very rarely venture in there these days.

The thing is, I've seen neither Battert nor Penrose this morning and am fearing the worst.

Perhaps someone could furnish me with details on any developments?

[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.

[Bomma220]

Many thanks old chap.

My daughter had a pair of jeans that were a mass of holes and rips. She laughed when I bought her a stout pair of work trousers to replace them. Bloody kids

Lifeboat?

[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.

[Bomma220]

Everything there for a first class beach holiday. And more.

The stuff The Empire was built upon.

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!! Once I had taxied up the high street all was eventually sorted out with the local constabulary with payment of trolley parts which are rather scarce in these parts apparently.
Talk about bloody good luck, I have managed to see Sprint racing on a closed road this morning, staying in a really nice gaff, and starting at 3 we have one of the best bands on the island performing for a few hours in the garden with a few hundred expected to turn up, as well as a good ex PH mate of mine coming too.
The only downside is that I can everything on my room number, which does not bode well for my bill come Wednesday!

[Bomma220]

Marvellous Coop, so far so good...

You think you've got an issue with a big bill?

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

^^^ Bloody marvellous. Fair made my day, that has

I've checked again on the Sopwith's range, it should have run out of fuel about halfway across the Channel.

You did well there Coop.

[DickyC]

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.

You're right you know. We should go over to Pushfit's place and have a go with that editing machine he linked up to the laminator.

A lot of cable ties and Scotchloks admittedly, but a marvellous piece of engineering all the same.

I'm afraid I'm a bit lost on the Tour Bus full of Old Guitars though.

I thought Seasick Steve but I'm pretty sure that's not correct...?

[DickyC]

Rockstar by Nickelback. And everyone else by the look of it; including at least one member of ZZ Top.

We'll all stay skinny cos we just won't eat.


It's not everyone's cup of tea.

[Bomma220]

I really quite like that.

Anyhow, where is everyone today? The car park's empty, as is the Dispersal area.

Is there something on we haven't been informed of?

[DickyC]

Pizza and beer for lunch and I just found a Snickers ice cream in the freezer for dessert.

Catering for yourself, Dicky?

Does it show?

[Bomma220]

I'm going to have a drop of Absinthe and a nice bit of peppered mackerel on toast.

Probably have a lie down then. Been up since half four sorting the trolleys out.
