Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 29)

Get away with you Jim AK, and leave us dinosaurs to graze peacefully...

Next you'll be telling us to do our banking on the line thing!
Show a bit of respect, eh?

Cheques Dicky?

Can't remember the last time I wrote one of those.

Even paid for my new car with a debit card!!

C21 Dicky........ Log on chap.

Specifically or a V62 application. I haven't had a cheque book for years. Mrs C had to write it.

C21?

I'm still recovering from having ventured into the 'other thread', I saw four words and became nauseuous and then just caught the start of a fifth puked all over my lap.
I have made a mental note to take a mixture of rennies, alka seltzer and gin before looking next time.

I write cheques sometimes ,maybe twice a year.

Welcome to the 1950s.

Us Gods. Just how far out of the loop are you & Glenrobbo?!

C21 is last decade speak for the 21st Century!!

I don't actually like online banking tbh, although I do use it to pay my credit card & check my balance, tis a bit new fangled though, even for me!

[Bobberoo99]

Paying for stuff with your phone?!?! I've only just got used to paying by waving my card at the machine!!!! If you asked anybody under the age of 30 what a cheque book was they'd look at you like you'd lost your Mind!!!!

Gin and Alka Seltzer?

Um, no, they're Ryvita thins, quite nice they are too!!!!

Those are ladies crackers where I come from. You can't do a days work on ladies crackers and soup. I'm quite concerned.

Ah now I must say they were rather nice, roasted onion or some such thing, I did have about 6 of them!!!
There were, unfortunately, no ladies undercrackers visible!!

The half term influx of total nonsense has reached an all time low ,or high.

Bloke in GG ,well child probably has had numerous crashes and has also just bought a Lamborghini.

You can't make this up ,or maybe they can....

[Bobberoo99]

None so queer as folk!! As my nan used to say, I work with a lad who managed to write off his A3 TDI in the works car park, then bought an S3 and totalled that within 3 months, THEN wrote off the courtesy car after 5 days, THEN bought a Mini Cooper S which he had for just over a year, which got hit by an uninsured driver!!!!!

Well, hang around. We may need a new volume today. Yes, that's right. I'll check the numbers.

The New Volume!

Too exciting to be trivial.

Battert Alert

We'll need Battert to contact the Emergency Bookbinder to do the necessary with Volume 29 now it's done.

If you can't find him he may be in the Public Telephone Box at the end of Scratchface Lane dialing 160 pitifully hoping to find Dial-A-Disc.

[Bomma220]

Battert? Could be worth trying the Legion of a Thursday evening, he often does a turn on the Karaoke there.
Failing that, Frank wanted some of the Icelandic Cognac so he might be dealing with that at the B&L.

[DickyC]

Battert's Icelandic Cognac or real Icelandic Cognac?

If it's Battert's get down with your Air Raid Warden outfit and extinguish all sources of ignition within 50 metres of the pub.

Something has come up. I have to go to Chieveley Services to meet Elvis. Now. He picked up a party of German lads from Heathrow who have come over to buy some of his Mercedes. He has to give me the keys for an ailing C Class in Woking that needs picking up tomorrow. Tomorrow being the day I deliver the Audi to my bloke in Aldermaston, fetch the RX-7 from the spray shop in Andover and the SLK from the garage in Lambourn. A Woking trip will top that off nicely.

This is the week I chose to give up amphetamines.

I'll be back in time for Volume 30.

Trying not to panic.........
Trying not to PANIC..........
Dicky's gone to meet Elvis, to do a deal with some Germans for some Mercs...........what could possibly go wrong with a dodgy German/Albanian back street deal????
What if Dicky doesn't make it back for volume 30!?!?!?

[DickyC]

I'm standing in the car park at Chieveley Services at the appointed time to meet the Albanian Mercedes dealer and the German Mercedes buyers. I'm wearing pink socks. I've only just realised. What if they don't take me seriously?
