Has anyone mentioned the conga?

I was watching the ‘Duty Free Christmas Special’ last night and they conga round the hotel and I can’t remember the last time I saw anyone do it.

We just can't get the correct authorisation to do it here. We try but repeatedly we just come up against a bureaucratic wall.

It's a shame because we felt it would help Member Trivialites and local villagers understand one another better. I'll suggest it again to the Gymkhana Committee but I don't want to get anyone's hopes up.

Sorry I'm a bit out of synch, I'm just playing catch-up after a busy couple of days.

How do you get 116 TVRs in a pub car park? confused



^ ^ ^ ^ Just like that!

OK, I think i'm up to speed now.

Commiserations Dibble, not the best of predicaments to be in.
I wouldn't fancy being screwed four times a day. frown

Re the bloomers:
On no account should anyone try burning them nono

Before you know it there could be a new women's lib resurgence and the whole countryside would be at great risk of being torched by burning bloomers everywhere! yikes

You remember what happened when Mrs. B set fire to her brassiere in the first round of protests back then?
The Chief Constable lost his magnificent 'tache and eyebrows and the Trivton Magna W. I. building was reduced to a smouldering ruin.

The bloomers are soaked again now, I'm wondering if Battert's suggestion of cutting the flagpole down wasn't so daft after all.

All we'd need to reinstate it would be something capable of holding two pieces of tubular shaped solid material together?

Today I am at Staverton on the South Devon Railway, attending another all day session at their beer festival.

Managed to try 12 beers yesterday, hoping to improve on that figure today.

Twelve beers? Had it been me I would be speaking to you from the Infirmary. Probably not speaking. Groaning.

I don't think pinching Dibble's thingy would be appreciated to reinstate the flagpole.
After all, he needs it to reinstate his leg.

How about the highly polished 25-pounder shell casing shell casing on the mantlepiece over the fireplace in the drawing room of the Towers?
If we just hacksaw the end off, I reckon it would be a good snug fit on the shaft of the flagpole. It would add a touch of classy brassiness. A few screws would stop it slipping down the shaft.

Yes, I think that's a marvellous suggestion glenrobbo. We need to get something done fairly sharpish now, the bloomers are spoiling the appearance of the whole airfield. If any outsiders were to see them we'd be subject to ridicule.

I'll go and get the chainsaw.

One of my pastimes is comparing the prices of cars I might have as my retirement car. The Maserati Granturismo is high on the current list as early ones are going for £20,000 to £30,000. Doing a little research in Wikipedia yesterday I noticed that an Alfa shares much of the Maserati's underpants. Ah, ha! Maserati, Alfa Romeo... The Alfa must be cheap as oily chips.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Stupid boy.

Alfa Romeo 8C. One for sale in the UK. £229,995.
