Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life (Vol 31)

That's a very good question!!!

[Bobberoo99]

I made the mistake of venturing into the Brexit thread, wow there's a lot of rubbish on there!!!!

Well, if we assumed a reasonable average length for a cable tie would be say 8 inches, that's 40 million inches. Divided by twelve gives us 3,333,333 feet - divide that by 5280 equals 631 miles (as near as fk it is to swearing)

I think it's about enough to go line of sight from Lands End to John O'Groats with a little bit left over.

I'm afraid it's been a bit of a slow morning so far.

But a great piece of trivia. I'm sure that the citizens of John O'Groats are ready.

In fact, if they were laid end to end along the road using the A1 route, they'd go from my garden to the middle of Hartlepool and back, then back to Hartlepool again.

Quite why you'd want to do that is anyone's guess. Food for thought, though.

From my house to Glenmorangie Distillery with six miles to spare!!

When we're in Hartlepool we can visit HMS Trincomalee. She was built in India, you know. Outsourcing is not new. Sri Lanka probably, seeing as Trincomalee is a place there.

Sounds reasonable, I'll meet you in the car park. We can 'bank' the spare six miles in case we get a bit lost on the way back.

We'd no doubt end up a bit something anyhow

Indeed, I'd quite forgotten the Trincomalee's there. Lovely old thing she is.

We could offer them some cable ties to assist with the maintenance, might be handy for patching the rigging up. I'm sure we'd have a few spare.

That's it, three posts in a row. I'm going to have a lie down for a couple of hours.

[Bobberoo99]

I started a post earlier but got dragged screaming and kicking into a vey important meeting, that last bit may not be true, nor the bit about screaming and kicking, but there was a meeting!!!

AA route planner says 10hrs 26mins, so just in time for a late supper, see you there Bomma old chap!!

[Bomma220]

I'll probably take the Sopwith. Won't really be any quicker, just that I don't care much for the M6 these days

[Bobberoo99]

I can't post right now I'm busy, really, really busy, in fact I'm so busy I'm not even able to sit down and look at my phone!!!!

[Bobberoo99]

Well that's the cleaning done for another week, now to submit the receipts to our landlord for reimbursement!!

Yes Bomma, you must be really tied after three.

I've lost about 3 KG today.
Shaved off excess face fuzz,1 KG.
Had my annual haircut,about 2KG.

Lovely lady barber massaged my baldy head at the end.

[Bobberoo99]

So let me get this straight, you've gone from a full on mullet to total cue ball???
