I've just cracked open a bottle of 12yr old Glenlivet that Mrs Bobbers bought for me on Valentine's day, haven't had Genlivet for ages and had forgotten how good it is!!!

Talking of cracking stuff.

I’ve just cracked a tooth..... 1 of those incisor jobbys.

Impressed I am not!

I`d be impressed if that was how it cracked.

I was eating bloody chips at the time!

What was the cause, Fruit Gums or Pistachio nuts?

To be fair Jim didn't specify what type of chips he was eating, potato chips, stone chips, bark chips, we assumed potato, he could be pregnant and have had "one of those weird cravings!!" And been eating loose chippings!!!
Anyway morning chaps I'm up, bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready for another great day of productivity!!!







Ok no I'm not, sat at the kitchen table staring mournfully at a bowl of porridge wondering if I could fall asleep in it!!!!

It might just have been ketchup.

We have two feature clocks in the house. It's about as trendy as we get here. Big and flamboyant they may be but when they require new batteries the teeny little works never fail to disappoint. Springs and escapements representing the ingenuity of man that's what I want to see not an anonymous thing the size of a matchbox.

WHA?!?!? What do you mean by batteries?? I thought the grandfather and the long case were both antiques and hand wind only!!!! I've seen Battert winding them several times, are you trying to tell me it's all a ruse to keep him occupied!!!!

ave you read the book on the story of the Tank recovery?

My mate Dave has recovery tank if that helps. It’s become one of those ‘what was I thinking’ pur-chases. It really wrecked the road tarmac getting off a low loader into his field so he hid it up for a while. Then the clutch went so he had some stuff made and it’s now sorted but it’s not moved much for some time. It’s a T34 and sitting in the drivers seat there’s a MASSIVE cable reel about an inch from the back of your head. Quite disconcerting.

I'd forgotten about the antiques. And the oldk clocks. Winding the old clocks is how Battert starts his day. A bit of exercise to get the old joints going.

Don't Bogart that joint, my friend, pass it over to me...

Not that sort of joint.

My first thought was that you meant some sort of greenish fluid-filled capsule with lots of pipes and tubes supplying life-giving nutrients to a space and time traveller just being resuscitated after many years of cryogenic hibernation.

Obviously I felt a tad disappointed until I read on...

I always get tears in my eyes when I read the 'Missing in action' letter my mom received about my father after Arnheim.

Jon Kidd. Nautical.

I don't know how I can prevent myself bringing Johnny Kidd and the Pirates into the conversation.

I'll be shakin all over.

Not my most lucid piece of writing. Jon Kidd is a customer to whom I delivered a car. He is a Deputy Harbour Master. I wondered if could prevent myself mentioning Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. It turns out I couldn't. I mentioned it. He laughed and said he'd been in the Navy and had it all the time and was quite used to it.

There was a young manager at the last place I worked in London whose name is Simon Smith. He claimed he had never heard of the song Simon Smith And His Amazing Dancing Bear. He also claimed we were the first people in his life to mention it.

The Crab Shed on Fish Quay is worth a visit. Go early or go out of season. It gets busy.

Try as they might, because of My Name Is Earl it is known as The Crab Shack.

Oh.
I was thinking gambling chips. They can be real toothbusters.
