It's elementary my dear What son....said no one ever....

I meant to write Falio, not Falia.

Being hilarious is a demanding and perilous business.

[lucido grigio]

Falia sounds like failure.

epic fail....

Tonight I fitted an alternator to replace the new one which doesn’t work which replaced the one that was ok which replaced the old one. The one I fitted today was fitted before the old one.
So we’ve gone full circle.

I believe that one day I’ll be headhunted by an Escort/TVR running F1 team on the basis that most jobs I have done so many times they only take 4.2 seconds on average so I’m handy in the pits

Edit:
16.8 seconds in you count the other 3 times I have to do the same job.

[DickyC]

16.8 seconds? Formula 1 is not for you, my lad. No, endurance racing is clearly your calling.

[Bobberoo99]

16.8 seconds huh? It took me longer to think of a reply!!! Morning chaps how are we all on this fine Wednesday morning? I believe there may be a full breakfast in a bun available on the breakfast trolley this morning, I'd take extra napkins if you're having, one apparently there's a surplus of baked beans needs using up!!!

I feel a virtual Blazing Saddles scenario coming on.

Battert's Bulk Buying Blamed. If he didn't buy such large quantities of stuff we wouldn't always be having a great rush to finish things before their use by date. I know he means well. But beans with everything at the moment is a case in point. And as for sustainable fuel! His idea of felling one of the oaks, chopping it up and when it's all burned driving the Lagonda to Trivhill Woods to collect an acorn to plant along the main drive is just plain ludicrous. He should take the Shooting Brake. Or cycle. We've stood idly by for long enough. Someone has to tell him. We should draw straws.

There's something I've been meaning to draw your attention to. The classic view from the front of a space vehicle capable of warp speed is of the stars suddenly zipping past the front screen. Well, it occurs to me that this is simply a theatrical device because even though the star directly ahead is approaching much more quickly the ones to the side are still light years away. That is to say, the one in the middle of the screen should get larger but the others should remain relatively stationary.



Theatrical device. Mark my words.

Are you sure you want to take that route? I mean to say, the last time someone questioned his decisions it didn't end well, there are still scorch marks and bullet holes in the drawing room!!!! Maybe we could get one of the guests to do it? He seems to be more open to, ah, suggestions from the guests than to questions from the regulars!!

The Rover doesn't have warp drive!! I'm depraved!!

[DickyC]

Put cling film over it and settle for Wrap Drive.

Yes but the same applies to all of the patients here so you’re not alone.

But, but, but then I won't be able to get in it and make use of the wrap drive!!!!

Oh that's good to hear, I was starting to think it was just the voices in my head again, you know, the ones that say it's perfectly acceptable to own and actually like the Rover, and that putting lemon curd on my roast dinner is fine, and that having impure thoughts about Claudia Winklemans legs slathered in honey would be ok.............................I may need a moment!!!

[DickyC]

And it's not like you need to throw a double six to get to Claudia Winkleman either. I landed on Ava Gardner and I'm happy to miss a couple of throws.

[Jim AK]

Any tips for landing on Davina Mc Call?

I read she is 'readvertised due to timewasters'

[DickyC]

Yes, try the candlestick in the library.
