Which of your fine automobiles will you be undertaking this road trip in good sir?

What with the Amilcar being poorly and all.

And not to forget that the Lagonda still lacks a breaking applicator, we are still using a ships anchor to negotiate the slowing of said automobile!!

As the dishwasher fills up so the teaspoon drawer empties and the moment approaches when I have to use the jam spoon. I have learned to loathe that jam spoon.

Pray tell good Dicky, why does the jam spoon vex thee so???

I would hazard a guess that it is due to the very short shaft causing ineffective deep cup stirring resulting in sugary residue remaining at the bottom of the cup, coupled with the large enamelled and very sticky "A Gift from Cleethorpes" section becoming increasingly hot due to conduction until the point of actually causing physical discomforture:
to whit, a burning sensation in both thumb and index finger. This causes the stirrer to let go of the dammed thing, which at first steadfastly remains firmly stuck to the digits,.and then drops irretrieveably below the surface of the beverage.
It's a bloody nightmare.

Always use the correct tool for the job.
See the "New teaspoon advice please" thread.

Today I am doing a tour of East Anglia, to the exact shape of the coast only about 2 miles inland. Clockwise from Sheringhan and starting at nine so just off to get on the grid.

I wondered where Teddy had got to. Please pass him my regards.

Is this to pass the time whilst waiting for scaffolding permissions, or are you doing the Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge thing?
If so, good luck.
In fact I wish you good luck anyway, Pushfit

Don't forget to divert to Aldeburgh for some fish 'n' chips when you're passing. They're one of the best!

Today, I plan on winning. At everything there is to win at in life, ever.

It's not going well, but I watched Kelly's Heroes yesterday with The Boy and it's reminded me of the danger of negative waves

[Nik da Greek]

It's a mother beautiful bridge and it's gonna be there

For those of you unfamiliar with the Rick Shaw Challenge, here's some info I have gleaned from a quick search of the googlenet:


That's Hummell lll
Rick Shaw is not to be confused with the Hummer, which is a rather more substantial. vehicle unsuitable for East Anglia back lanes.

There appears to be a lot of this "Positivity breeds positivity" Vibe going around, our team leaders and managers have been instructed by the manager above them to "Present a more positive front and outlook" as they are seen to not be doing such.

That all very well, Bobbers, but has snyone asked what are the Ubermanager's positive plans to combat the Zombie Apocalypse?

Or worse, the plague of the undead Wombies from Wimbledon Common?


Meanwhile, I have arrived at a crossroads in life, and I have made a positive decision to go and purchase the "Flamingos and Llamas" box of 20 Christmas cards.
Just because it feels like the.positive thing to do.
Merry Christmas one and all.

All you need is positivity.

Here is a motivational video for you all...

[Bobberoo99]

Thank you kind sir for your continued efforts in supporting the drive for a more positive outlook, at this juncture I would request that you redirect your efforts in the procurement of said Christmas cards from Aldi.

Hummel? German for "bumblebee" innit? As seen in the middle of last century all over Europe.



you wouldn't want to get stung by one eminently suited to East Anglian lanes though

[glenrobbo]

Some rather big shells on the seashore there, Nik. Are they alive alive-o?

Ze Chermans had their Bumblebee, but it was no match for our Arthur Askey...

fk, fk, fkety fk.

Mrs Jim AK’s landmark birthday pressie has arrived.

I was going to put it in the garage & dump the Range Rover in front of it, so she couldn’t get in there & say I’d accidentally left the keys in the office.

Forgot it’s fking Wednesday & she goes to a management meeting after work 2nd Wednesday of the month with a colleague so gets picked up & dropped off!!

Pressie now in garage at my office & I’ll need to taxi home tonight & then to work Friday.

As if the bloody thing wasn’t expensive enough in the first place

[DickyC]

The best laid plans of Jims and Bumble Bees.

[glenrobbo]

C'mon Jim, steady on chap! I'm not feeling the positivity!

[Jim AK]

Bloody Bumble bees & positivity are of no use in this scenario.

Subterfuge is a thing that I'm really not good at!!

[SWTH]

Afternoon folks.

I didn’t see any bumblebees last year but I did see this:



Not a view you wanted to be having in 1943!
