I've got to go up there again?
Jeez.......
We could add to the shrine. Jeez.......
Are there any of those really cheap teddy bears there yet? The ones that signify inconsolable loss?

And candles, and wilted dried up flowers, and notes from people who have never met, talked to or even seen the person (George) before!!!
That's it! The title for the Trivial Towers Tribute Album: the person (George) before.All the old favourites.
I can see it selling well, to a certain type of course!!!GOG440 said:
A friend of mine is in his 60s, he tells the tale of a right b
king he got from his wife when he came back from a particularly heavy night out. He was asleep, the gas fire was on, all the burners on the stove were on the back door was open and his van was sat in the vegetable patch running and in gear! He had overshot the end of his drive, got it stuck then left it there.

At least he hadn't put the chip pan on...Going back to the Norfolk pub I mentioned earlier, little story concerning one of the 'regulars'.
He was around 60ish, lovely chap he was, MD of a local company. Liked a good drink and gained a reputation for the daft things he did when he'd had a few.
He lived about half a mile from the pub and following a particularly good session one of the other regulars gave him a lift home, via the Fish & Chip shop.
Next night he was asked if he'd enjoyed his fish & chips; he'd forgotten all about them and never ate them. What was odd was that he couldn't find them anywhere. A search of his house was conducted over several days to no avail.
The upshot was he'd had a new kitchen fitted and all the old units had been stacked in his garage awaiting collection by someone who was going to re-use them. Lo and behold, when the old cooker was being moved to its new home the fish & chips were in the oven. Bit past their 'best before' apparently...

Been here for 8.5 hours, 2 coffees and no break, full on physical work and no end in sight, am I doing this wrong? 
Still, should sleep well tonight.................................hopefully.
I think you are doing it wrong old chap. 2 hours work, 8.5 coffees surely? And a couple of Rothmans behind the bike shed.Still, should sleep well tonight.................................hopefully.

A hostelry in Norfolk I used to frequent did a lovely drop of draught TT's Landlord, did make me sneeze though.
At least something in there did. Could have been the Guvnor's Old English Sheepdog I suppose.
(that's not another beer by the way, it was a real dog. Bit like the old Dulux one in the adverts).

Bomma, was that hostelry just a bit downwind of the Colman's Mustard factory? The emissions from that erstwhile establishment could trigger the old auto-immune response.
Incidentally, I had a brief chat with Lady C. herself at Goodwood last year. She was positively charming. Oi bet she would have been a nice bit on the side a few years ago.

I believe the correct mandated union approved rate is 1.75 coffees per 3 hours worked with a regulated break at the 5.75 hours worked stage with a further .25 coffee enhancement once 10 hours of employment have been reached. HTH!!
Thanks for tidying that one up Bobbers, at least we all know what's what.I quite fancy a coffee and a couple of Hobnobs now. Would you mind if I borrow your calculator?

A friend did that. Woke up the next morning and wondered what the humming was. It was king he got from his wife when he came back from a particularly heavy night out.

He had overshot the end of his drive, got it stuck then left it there. I like a bit of Curved Air. 'It Happened Today' is a good one for me, though I think that's maybe one of their later tracks?
Anyhow, waffling about fish & chips earlier has set me on a mission, we're having them for supper.
I expect it needs to be supper, as 'fish supper' sounds better than 'fish dinner'.
There we go
Nice bit of crusty bread and butter too.

Kent tomorrow to see a man about our fence, apparently its at 45 degrees after yesterdays gales!
Was planning on having a few in the B&L tonight but as i`ll be leaving home circa 06.15 I will swerve it so i`m not literally swerving round the M25 en route.
Sausage Baguette & a tea from Greggs Medway services for breakfast then......... Mon!
Hand carved ham, egg & home made chips tonight & Magnum ice cream for pud with raspberry jus apparently.......... More Mon

I think we can even get away with a big fat NOM!!! seeing as Lucido Grigio is no longer with us having been usurped by Pericoloso!!!! DickyC said:
He'll have popped out for a drink. A non-alcoholic drink. Peri-Cola I expect.
