If it gets too chilly for the old primus to cope with there's a couple of those incendiary grenades that are a couple of years out if date to use up!!!!
It's certainly a good thought chap, I could lob one into one of the metal dustbins.Mind, there's no telling what's in those buggers. Be worth a go though if it gets any colder.

That's what I'd have done 
It was a bit more involved than that I just gave edited highlights. The socket was a special one that deforms I used 3 of them in the end.That’s the f
king wheel off. I now have one lug nut missing from each wheel ( Halfords/Main Dealers/Hilton - ‘too dangerous to drive’ - yeah whatever) and a wheel off with everywhere closed for a puncture repair.s the lot of ‘em

It’s all go up your way. We were accosted by an angry drunk man, met a man dressed as an old lady on his stag do and watched another group all dressed as golfers take swings with an inflatable golf club!!!!!
We’re going for an Indian tonight after the pub which is next door to it.
I’ve eaten nothing but Mrs P’s muffin and pebernodder all day, the peddernodder arrived yesterday with her Danish friend who is a vet.
Sone of the above isn’t important right now.
Taking a breather, watching Phantom menace. Took 45 minutes to bring all the christmas stuff out of the loft.
This years clusterflies are the worst in living memory, made worse with a bagged vacuum cleaner.
On my third bag already.
On the plus side, the evening is already full of amusement as the cat is going completely psychotic chasing the flies

These cars look very familiar, are they on loan from the Louwman museum?
I don't know about the Pegasos but I wondered about the FIAT as I have seen one there too ,same part of the world.....ish,and I think the info with this one said 1 of 15 ,so could be same car.
Bit of a late start today as bed was at 3am ,not going to reveal quite how late but I haven't unpacked the car yet and the
camera pics are still in Fabio's boot.
I should describe the perils of Peri and the Belgium trip.
Before leaving the house at about 1am yesterday ,I checked which road ,I knew one was going to be closed ,for my route
to Dover.
The M20 east was closed ,so the diversion is easy enough ,J7 ,up the road to Sittingbourne and use the M2,A2...simples !
A few miles from Dover ,lorries going the other way are flashing lights quite excitedly ,at 3am that can't be good.
Lo and behold ,within a few minutes the traffic grinds to a halt ,can hear some bangs ,it was the tyres exploding on a blazing
lorry 200 yards away.
After standing around for a bit ,all 3 emergency services had arrived ,fire put out ,I realise there's a slip road I could use to exit
the dual carriageway ,a local lorry driver shows me the route to rejoin the A2 further down and off I go.
The roads are far too small for the HGVs to use these and the fog is a real pea souper and progress is slow ,can hardly see anything
at all and 15-20 MPH was enough.
With the minutes ticking away ,I arrive at PnO checkin a little late but okay to get the 4.20am sailing.
There was 7 private cars, a couple of East European 3.5Ts and everything else was HGVs.
The sailing home at 23.35pm was better ,got back to Calais with couple of spare hours ,I couldn't walk around the show for much
longer than the 6 hours I was there.
About 1/2 hour from Dover a Polish man had a fit seizure episode and collapsed about 20 yards from where I was sat and
needed medical attention ,a paramedic vehicle drove onto the ferry at Dover.
M20 was closed again on way home ,only this time westbound......
...thanks whoever does that.

Cant decide whether to stick with whisky or go for a change and have some calvados
Trivia update from chez O:-
Jan & Mark are joining us for New Year's Eve at The Crown. Jan has agreed to sing a number with me on stage, which is good as she has a voice to die for. I've suggested Dream a Little Dream of Me, which i) she's happy with and ii) I've managed to fudge an intro to:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIdnv6ZuUuc
The rest of the tune is easy enough.
ION, Nicaraguan rum - as a mixer - is very agreeable indeed
