Bloody internet connection 
Right, I'm on now so I'll make the most of it.
I dunno, I reckon that two pounds is a decent size for a mackerel.
I love mackerel, me!
Pollocks. That's what they were, a pair and a half if you will. A good size for mackerel, poor show for pollocks though. A bit scrawny and bony.
Dibble been suffering? Oh dear, that's not good, let's hope things improve very soon. I'll have a look in the hangar when l get back, see if there's anything in there that'd help.
Anyhow, it's a lovely morning here, we're off to a place called Amble. Good fish & chip shop apparently.

Contrary to some reports, l can confirm there are plenty of fish in the North Sea. Well, three at least, a couple of pounds apiece.
Not really big enough for good eating so they've gone back to fight another day.

We missed a type of Road Closed Sign Ignorer; the 'I'll follow him, if he's going up there it must be all right' bloke.
Last evening I went the wrong way round the mini roundabout to pass the Road Closed sign and the bollards and drove up to my house with a white Peugeot I didn't recognise right behind me. I indicated left and slowed down to allow the chap to pass me and race off towards the deep excavation. We both stopped. He reversed into a drive to turn round and I reversed into a drive but kept going backwards as far as the garage because I live here. My word he did look sour as he drove past.
I had tricked him.

That was so funny to read: it must have been even funnier to witness. Hahahaha! Even funnier if he'd driven straight into the chasm whilst looking over his shoulder at you!
The black Audi red Audi saga drags on (Step Daughter #2 and I want to swap cars, she wants mine, I want hers, but the one she has used to be mine and I want it back). After I volunteered to do the paperwork I lost both V5s. In fact I lost all the docs for both cars. Over the wall at the tip by mistake is my guess. The DVLA recommended we each fill in a V62 and send them both in with a covering letter and the fees. Yesterday they both came back, "The payment of £25 was not received." I included a cheque for £50 but their systems cannot cope with such blatant anarchy. When I rang this morning to remind them I had included the fees I was told that the cheque would have been destroyed as incorrect but they don't have a form letter that covers this eventuality. They just have one that says "payment not received" so they sent that. Chaos.
Sake.
Sake.
There will now be a rapidly accumulating backlog at DVLA as a huge posse of Government I T experts grapple with the smoking ruins of The Computer.
You should have thought this through Dicky, before creating such an insurmountable problem.
One cheque for two separate actions indeed!
Catastrophe!!!
