[Bobberoo99]

You and me both slopes, but unfortunately it's a dirty job and somebody has to do it, I vote for Dicky being made responsible adult for the day, glenrobbo took his turn yesterday!!!!

[glenrobbo]

Morning all. :wavey

Cold, wet and very blustery here oop norf.
It's not far off 32° here...

Fahrenheit.

I wish they would turn off those bloody wind turbines for a bit.
It's starting to get rather tiresome, blowing a gale all the time!

Great news Bongtom!
I hope all goes well this time, and I wish you both good luck and all the best.

Dicky, "Who are you?"
Sinister Voice, "I am the new Number 2."
Dicky, "Who is Number 1?"
Sinister Voice, "YOU, are the Responsible Adult for the Day."
Dicky, "What do you want?"
Sinister Voice, "Calm, Order, Reason and Tolerance."
Dicky, "You won't get it!"
Sinister Voice, "By hook or by crook we're optimistic."

The new Number 2 said they'd settle for us playing nicely. I said we always do and he gave me that look.

Are we talking about that look or THAT look?? There is a world of difference and look what happened the last time we made that mistake, it caused the locals to get angry and organise a protest group. They had pitchforks and banners. Banners i tell you, we know we are in trouble when banners come out.

And some name calling, but to be fair that was us!!!!

that wasn't us...okay it wasn't all of us....okay it was us but they had banners!! and placards!!!
What were we supposed to do? All because we made a mistake between that look and THAT look.

it was only a tiny little mistake and they got all un necessary, Battert needed a strong cup of tea after that one

Battert had strong tea? Which day was that? Was it the day that coach load of foreign tourists disappeared somewhere between Lunch in the Great Hall and Tea in the Cricket Pavilion?

Remember THAT day when the locals got all uppity? It was that day.

[DickyC]

Still, the endless pilgrimages of relatives looking for answers add considerably to the local economy.

[Bobberoo99]

Oh THAT day!!!!
I thought we all agreed never to mention THAT day ever again!!!!

[DickyC]

It's okay. This is fairly discreet.

True, and let's be honest here, the roses do bloom well since they "disappeared"!!

ION I have to leave early today to take delivery of and install a washing machine for MIL, she has a dishwasher which rarely gets used, some time ago I suggested switching it for a washing machine to make life a bit simpler, she has a cleaner who does her washing but she's going through issues of her own, we've had a few calls over the last month saying that MIL's washing isn't getting done regularly so we've taken the decision to swap the machines over, so I'm off there to sort it today!!

Stuck.

Stuck.

Panicking.

Stuck panicking.

Phew. That was close.

I forgot to take my glasses off when I pulled my shirt on.

Yes, all right, it's 9.25. I'm a bit behind today. It's allowed.

But, but, but you're the responsible adult today!!! You can't be stuck panicking because you can't get your shirt on!!!!

As today's Responsible Adult, it's important that Dicky maintains optimum vision at all times, so that even with his shirt jammed over his glasses, he can focus on the problem and swiftly evaluate the situation and see the solution.
He still has my full confidence.

By the way, top flailing there, Dicky!

And yes, I well remember that day.
What could have turned into an ugly situation was luckily no more than a complete débacle.

And Battert's quick thinking and use of the Fordson to construct the new ancient burial mound was a brilliant way of covering up what happened.

I'm glad we all agreed not to mention it again.
Pint of Absinthe, anyone?

There are other things to worry about, Bobbers. What if the hole that we think the coach load of foreign tourists fell into turns out not to be ancient chalk workings but missile silos being built by Battert during his 'I needs to be a doin summat' phase.
