Oh.
I was thinking gambling chips. They can be real toothbusters.
Could have lived with that too..... In my mind I would have been playing against 007 in Monaco!I was thinking gambling chips. They can be real toothbusters.
The reality was waiting for Mrs Jim AK & feeling peckish as I was parked outside the chippy.

That's a lethal combination, parked up+bored+chip shop smell= compulsory purchase of chips!!!!
Parked up+bored+chip shop smell= compulsory purchase of chips=broken tooth=dentist trip=£100=pain and financial strain=stress=hunger=chip shop visitIts the wheel of life
I noticed I have a chip on the bonnet of my car, I'll need to have a proper look at it sometime.
Anyhow, chip or no chip, I have to collect Grandbomma from school this afternoon. We sometimes have chips with a nice bit of fish when she stays over, in the light of recent events I'll make sure all necessary dental precautions are adhered to. Might have a jumbo sausage too, or a piece of roe.
Spam fritter?

Indeed Bobbers, a purchase I am obviously going to regret.Mrs Jim AK has some question to answer as well. If she had appeared at the requested collection time & not texted a revised time 10 minutes after she knew I`d have left Jim AK Acres, this whole sorry & expensive episode would have been avoided.
Taking V6`s cue & Bobbers `Perpetual` observation on this & an appointment will be made with the Dentalist for a Monday, early doors. This will remove the aibility to purchase more chips because (a) Its too early to buy them & (b) Chippy`s not open on a Monday!

Now there you go and get all intelligent on us, what sort of forum would this be if we all went and thought about stuff before we did it?!?!?

Fast and loose...Today is going very fast, and so far quite well, will it last or am I about to screw something up??
On which note I was told (despite google saying different, like) that fast and loose comes from milling. A windmill has pulleys, one is loose in case the wind gets up too quick, the other is fast ie tight. It's the expression playing 'fast & loose' ie catering for every eventuality, not some bloody old game what like what wikipedia and google says.
Example ref:
Eight Mile Mill, Canterbury. Invoice from 1907: Provide & fix suitable fast & loose pulleys & belt striking gear on the main shaft in mill - £7
I think I'm going to complain to the internet for lack of research

If you let me know when you're going I'll come round there with you, best we just turn up rather than try phoning them.I was looking for something for my car and under a search for '9-5 Aero' I was offered 'chocolate snack for office workers'
Oh, and the last time we were in the North East - 'fish supper in Whitley Bay'. Horrific.
What are TT peeps going to watch on their television broadcast receiving equipment tonight ?
I can't find anything of huge interest....
Choices......My fake homeland are playing catch the egg with the garlic munching deodorant avoiders......but .....meh !
Gogglebox is back ,minus the miserable old scouse bloke who has kicked the proverbial......but ..meh !
Or a Swedish "Scandi noir" cop series I've never seen before but subtitles on a Friday night ?......too much to ask.....meh !

BBC4 from nine to midnight The Old Grey Whistle Test Live with Whispering Bob Harris.
Who is immensely tall btw. I saw him at Paddington once.
Excellent, I'll have a look at that. We'd just been contemplating a DVD viewing - Grandbomma had opted for Peppa Pig, I'd chosen A Bridge Too Far. Who is immensely tall btw. I saw him at Paddington once.
By way of compromise we'd settled for A Pig Too Far though finding a copy of that was proving difficult.
The Old Grey one it is then. Thanks Dicky.
