Has Battert arrived in Devon yet ?

Unlikely as I just saw him on the M6, heading north.
He was stopped by Wiltshire Border guards for having an unruly animal in a public place and for 'Going Equipped.' When the duty solicitor asked what he had with him to be charged with Going Equipped, it was poppies, resin drying boxes and opium brick molds. In an effort to distance himself from us he gave his address as Hidden Poppy Farm, Trivborough Road, Trivvas Dyke. He's a good chap at heart.

Lovely GF doesn’t “do” social media at all and I’ll not be putting a picture of her up. I’m afraid you’ll just have to take my word on this one!

Long blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, fantastic figure. She certainly ticks all my boxes and I’m definitely punching above my weight.

She definitely loves The Idiot! And he absolutely adores her as well. It is very funny to see him with her. He will always be “my” dog first and foremost but he is so,soppy with her it is hilarious! Bearing in mind he’s at least 3/4 the size of a “normal” German Shepherd, yesterday evening he decided he was going to sit on her lap.

Now I’m about 5’ 11” and being charitable, “broadly built”. Lovely GF is about 5’ 4”, tops, and easily weighs less than half what I do. Needless to say, Idiot Dog sitting on her lap is hilarious to see! He really does think he’s smaller than he is. From memory, last time he was weighed, he was 27.2kg, so just under 60lbs / 4 1/2 stone. He’s no fat on him but he’s a fairly dense lump! But somehow he manages to get onto Lovely GF’s lap and curled up, while looking lovingly at her. He’s a great hot water bottle when it’s chilly and he does really love his cuddles.

Aside from Battert’s minor issue with opiate production paraphernalia, what beast did he have with him?

I ask only if he had said opiates as a veterinary necessity to sedate the unruly beast. Far be it from me to try and suggest a way Battert could wriggle out of charges, but as an investigator, I must present evidence which undermines a prosecution case and/or supports a defence case.

I’m also running low on absinthe, which could be tricky to restock if a Battert has to serve another term at Her Majesty’s pleasure. Yes, I know, other absinthes are available, but none really match that... “piquancy” of the stuff Battert distils. I think it must be that final filtration through the gusset of Mrs Battert’s “Sunday best” pantaloons that gives it the edge.

Speaking of which, do we need to resolve the flagpole/windsock debacle, or are flying operations being run in a more “free range organic” fashion these days?

If you're passing could you drop into the Sick Bay? There's a chap in there - a good chap, one of us - hallucinating. He sees his popsie and his old hound. There are worse things to imagine, but still. Damn this war.

Pushfit,
You really should have stuck to the "Cassoulet des Fruits de Mer", washed down with copious amounts of Maître Kanterbrau ( pression ). Just sayin'.
Hope you enjoyed the race. Did you make it in time? The facilities these days are a vast improvement on the squat holes of 1976. These days they even have toilet paper if you time it right. Very civilised.

Edited because yes, the person who invented autocorrect is a bloomin' can't.

Top Tip No.247:

Never trust a fart. nono Especially when abroad.

Excellent weekend had by all. Drove part of the circuit last night swerving about to get the tyres napped up and made sure I drove through the gravel at Indeanapolis to at least claim I had an ‘off’ at Le Mans.
Totted up and this was the 17th time since 1987, the others in the party were mostly virgins and probably bored as hell by my stories of pit infiltration and trophy acquisition.

At sea now

Hallucinating?

We're still at war? Oh, I thought all that business had been cleared up. Never mind, I'll wheel the old Rapier out, we need to make sure the airfield has a reasonable degree of protection.

Talking of which, yes, we also need to sort out the Windsock. At the moment we're relying upon one of Mrs Greenfield's stockings tied to the TV aerial but it's a poor ad hoc substitute really.

I think you must be old boy. A virgin at Le Mans?

If you're on one of those ferry things, it might be a touch of seasickness. Try a Full English and a bottle of Dark Rum, the old Rear Admiral swears by it.
Has it every morning he does. In a rowing boat on the small lake.

Aha, so that's what he's doing out there!!! I've seen him being rowed round and round in circles a few mornings and wondered what it was about!!!

The founder of the AMOC - Mort Morris Goodall - when retreating through France drove round as much of the circuit as he could and claimed Le Mans 1940 in a 3 ton truck.

His daughter is Jane Goodall, the primatologist.

No, Pushfit, you're not hallucinating.
It's what is known as "Reality": it's an illusion caused by lack of alcohol.

An off at Indianapolis eh? The Brickyard is a very unforgiving place.

I was lucky not to get rear-ended by an over-exuberant Corvette Sting Ray on the Mulsanne at the LM Classic a couple of years ago. Obviously suffering the old red mist syndrome, he forgot to emulate everyone else and brake for the first chicane yikes
I saw him looming too rapidly in my rear-view mirror and jinked out of his way. His teeth must have been chattering like mad after that with four massive flat spots. No attempt at cadence braking whatsoever, he just sailed on past on four locked-up, smoking tyres. What an ar$e! I bet he and his passenger had to pit in for a change of flameproof underwear!

I enjoyed the rest of my laps though, once all the idiots were out of harm's way. driving
