Black Friday huh? Did any of the TT regulars partake of this most American of idiosyncrasies? I personally did not, and quite possibly never will!!

This tripped off the early warning klaxon in the TT Control Bunker

Help is on its way. An emergency cork kit has been dispatched by carrier pigeon.

Yes it arrived this morning with some very graphic installation instructions, Mrs Bobbers flatly refused to follow said instructions which resulted in me hastily erecting a rudimentary insertion device, things kind of went downhill from that point, I have a feeling, though not much feeling in certain places now if I'm honest, that using an old spare updated lowering spring as the launch mechanism may have been the wrong choice!!!!








OUCH!!!!!!

Apologies I think you may have received one of the duff batch that had instructions from our TT Veterinary ‘Inserting colon bands - elephants Mk2A’ range.
They should be ok still but you have to scale all measurements by 1/10.

He is the first.
When I get knighted I’ll be able to Knight GOG too. Probably. Because I’ll have the power to.

When word gets back to The Palace recommending me I’ll be sorted, then I’ll keep my word and you’re next.

I have an old cavalry sword to poke the fire with so we can use that. The only other option is the chainsaw. Of course.

I'd be very careful if you're using the chainsaw, the bloody thing has a mind of its own. I've seen it scurry off across the floor and go halfway up the wall without any provocation.

Probably not lethal in itself, but you never know where the bugger might end up.

Hello there!

I'm an Idiot, all be it a happy idiot struggling for the legal tender. Rrecognise the variation of the lyric anyone?

Last night I got my ducks in a row, easier than fking Pelicans, & started my Xmas procurement mission on Amazon.

In error, though more likely Amazon's sleight of hand, I ended up enrolled in Amazon Prime.

This did not impress me much £7.95 a month for something I only use for the current mission is a bit steep.

Discovered later it was a free months trial that can be cancelled at anytime, this I have now done so won't be charged, but I've found that for a month I have free kindle books to borrow, no P&P & best of all their TV thing.

I binged on Grand Tour last night, have 3 or 4 of the1st series to watch & will get a couple of the new season that starts in December.

RESULT!!

Much against my will I'm going to have a FaceBook account. Good for business, I've been assured. I had one some years ago, did very little on it and got fed up with acquaintances sending me virtual drinks and virtual cakes. When I'd had enough it took me all evening to commit FaceBook suicide and delete every reference that could be linked back to me that would keep the account alive. I understand it's easier to bail out now. Anyway, back to today, I Googled 'create facebook account'





rolleyes

Good old Create, eh? I wonder how he's getting along. To think we'll be able to send one another virtual drinks and virtual cakes any time soon. And talk about all the good old times we are unlikely to have.

I boobed today,sign said M11 closed 8 to 10,so I detoured.

Turns out my exit should've been 8 so no detour required but I did get a b road blast instead between Roding n Dunmow.

I dominated a learner and a Transit pickup simultaneously.......driving

You must have been on the Pushfit Towers peri track there Senor Grigio I heard the peacocks squawking in the direction of the parterre.

I would have offered you a cognac and cigar but was somewhat tied up with all the begging letters there seem to have been a constant stream since Thursday. But I keep running out of ink.

You've left about a gallon and a half of that ink stuff in the hangar, I know you said something about putting it on the wheelarches. Up to you if you want to use it, it's there anyhow.

It's a good crisp night here. I've had a couple of packets of Ready Salted and one of Cheese & Onion.

Needs must for something a bit more substantial, I think I'll try a steak and chips. With a couple of eggs and mushrooms lick

I just fitted a new toilet seat in the en-suite. Wooden for extra grip.

Car club AGM today, just me and two others bothered to turn up! I was also the only one to take the Viper frown
Nice day but bloody cold!
Ended up just on the rear end of a Nissan Skyline at the top of the A23 and we both enjoyed a bit of poping and banging under the bridge thumbup Great fun.

i now know what you all mean when you refer to the 'unwashed'. went to stratford westfield today from 11-2pm. far too busy. all clothing stores were neat and tidy. I went into primark (which i normally like to go to) as my last stop before going home..

The whole place was a mess. half people stunk from not washing or from smelling of their home or whatever pet they owned. I wasn't in there for more then a minute before i gave up and decided to to bother.

I normally go to the East Ham branch and its nothing like that.

Ah I see we have a few returning guests, good stuff I shall ask Battert to make sure the guest wing is suitabley stocked, the beds turned down and the bed warmers inserted! Can someone take over serving in the bar until he's done?

I'd do it but I'm afraid I'm a good couple of hundred miles away. At least the old boy's on the mend smile

Be mindful if Battert's using the Claymore bed warmers, last time out they blew the floor clean through.

On reflection, it might be best to ask 'Table End Mable' to do the bed warming. It'd be a lot safer, plus she does the whole business in one hit with one of those brass pans.

Lovely.
