Just had a cheese and pickle on white. So THANK YOU very much for all those photos.

Did you have brown sauce with that?

Sadly no. The pickle was piquant enough.

Thanks chaps, I just tried the lit Yule log first, now I have a lump of smouldering plastic!!!

Anyhow, here we go:

I think that is the original, Bomma; Here I Go Again by Whitesnake.

More importantly, there were lads out there flying combat missions in Bucanneers! Designed in the fifties, fer gawd's sake.

I rather enjoyed that little clip. Loved the low-level stuff! ,Thanks Bomma.

The Buccaneers may have been been an old design, but they were built like brick cludgies and were bloody good at what they did, especially with the electronics update and the laser target designation gear. I worked on some of the structural mods for the update, and believe me, they were solid airframes.
The RAF were supplied with Buccs after the TSR-2 was axed, along with quite a few exciting projects like the Hawker P1154 ( a supersonic development of the Harrier. What a waste of British tech know-how.
After cancellation of TSR-2 we were supposed to get the American F-111s, but that programme was beset with problems and delays, so that order was cancelled and the Buccaneers ordered for the RAF as a stop-gap, having proved their worth with the Fleet Air Arm.

It didn't matter in the end, because it was such a capable aircraft that proved it's worth time and again.

My beef stew was pretty awesome as well.

The Eight Yearly Review of Titles is upon us.

Henceforth I wish to be known as:

Head of Trivial Awesomeness

If you could have a name plate made up I'll have Battert fasten it to my door.

[Bobberoo99]

Morning chaps
If you're Head Of Trivial Awesomeness and I'm Resident Buffoon what are everybody else's positions?!?!?

Indefensible.

[glenrobbo]

Today I'll be mostly Chief Technical Advisor to the Head of Trivial Awesomeness and Sous-chef, Creator of Awesome Stews ( Ret'd. ).

Last day of normal work and then mayhem starts I’m gonna be all over the place.

Sir, I have made an assessment of the fiscal impact of commissioning a gold-inlaid Appian Marble nameplate for your door but I'm afraid that funds will not be available until the beginning of the second quarter next year.
In the interim, the best we could manage would be a piece of old driftwood with ano acronym representing your full title:

. .Sir Dicky C.
Chief of Unbelievably Noteworthy TrivIa

Forshortened to:

.SiD.
C. * N. T .

in letters carefully branded using an old soldering iron by a skilled artisan with his tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth as he does it.


May I respectfully also point out a small problem with your door?




Err.....



Ummmm....

It's gone missing Sir.


Battert says it was used as a makeshift stretcher to carry some of the casualties out to the fleet of ambulances last night and it is nowhere to be seen


They suspect it may be the worest case of food poisoning since Battert's Sushi Evening two weeks ago.
They think that my beef stew may be the cause. ..

That's a very impressive work with the door plaque glenrobbo, just a pity that there's no door to stick it on!!
I can't believe that your delicious horse meat beef stew is responsible for the widespread projectile vomiting and rectal regurgitation that's currently affecting a large number of the residents!!!!!

You didn't have any of glenrobbo's dodgy stew did you???

It'll be those trunkfish things that Battert's been catching from the big lake. I'll wager he's popped a couple into the concoction.
Sodding things they are, highly toxic in fact.
Doesn't help that he leaves them out to dry for a few days.
Anyhow, l'm off for a bit of lunch. Grilled mackerel with Mediterranean salad apparently.
I'll see how it goes.

I think it will be gutted then cooked
