Fish finger sandwich, you say? I generally have a few of the part cooked baguettes in, just in case I run out of bread, or fancy something baguette related. For some unknown reason, Lovely GF and I now refer to them as “bagwettes”. I think it’s just one of those we started by being silly one day and it stuck (similar to us now referring the my physio as “pizzio”, I guess).

Anyway, the fish finger bagwette. Practically fusion cuisine. The Idiot always gets the crusty end (not a euphemism).



ION, I bought two antique Dalarna horses today.

That looks absolutely disgusting, Dibble! biggrin


Antique horses?

Won't they cost you a fortune in vet's bills? rolleyes

Evening / Morning / Goodnight all, it's a strange old time, the wee small hours. That's us finished workwise until the middle of next week, looking forward to the Easter holiday.

As it was our last shift before the break, I asked the gaffer if we could bring some games in. He said it would be fine provided we had a good tidy up before we went home so we spent the last couple of hours playing Jenga, good fun it was.

Anyhow, first off the fish finger baguette looks spot on to me. I counted five fish fingers in there, a generous dollop of tommy sauce too. Excellent.

The antique horse business is a cause for concern though. Aside of the vet's bills, I'm sure Dibble has mentioned that he lives in a flat? Space is certainly going to be at a premium and sleeping arrangements will need a bit of forward planning.

I just hope 'The Idiot' doesn't get the hump with them.

Incensed by his inability to buy tickets for Glastonbury again this year, Battert has announced we are to promote our own music festival at the Towers. He is proposing to use the airfield as the venue and has named several local acts he hopes to entice to perform (Bobbers, pop down to the B&L this evening, can you? You're scouting for Skiffle groups, proponents of the comb and tissue, anyone playing the spoons, you get the idea). Battert suggests the stage will back on to the Main Hanger so power won't be a problem (Bomma, can you see how we are for crocodile clips and cable?) Food and drink will be provided by local suppliers (I'll be sweet talking Mrs Greenfield later). For ablutions we'll use the existing facilities. Dibble to double with Frank Admissions on security. Golf Romeo, you're on PR and promotions. And please, no one is to feel left out; there will be plenty of jobs for all. For added excitement Battert is proposing to keep the airfield open to light aircraft. We just need a date really. The 26th to 30th June inclusive sounds good. Any thoughts?

Oooohhhhh a music festival on the airfield!!! Okay I'll see who I can rustle up, I wonder if that local rock group The Corn Dogs is up to being bribed available for a small fee, their version of Bohemian Rhapsody using ukuleles and a washboard is amazing, then there's John "one ball" McGee the only soprano tenor in the world since his accident, and we must try for The Farmyard Boys, the girls will LOVE to see a proper farmers boy band even if most of them are in their 50's!!!!

A festival? woohoo

"Golf Romeo, you're on PR and promotions."

OK, I'm up for that! thumbup
When we have confirmed the line-up of artistes, I shall design a nice psychedelic A4 poster and pin it up on the WI notice board in the village hall.
That should bring them flocking waving their knickers in the air.
I just hope there won't be to much wind during the event or some "ladees" could be blown all the way to Trivton Magna Market Square like a galleon in full sail, or a wayward barrage balloon. yikes

As for the line-up, wouldn't it be great if we could get a mega star like Dave to do the headline thing? Or is it Chas'n? I can't remember which one is left?
Nonsequitur will know, he's well up on these things.
I think he has showbiz contacts as well, so he could help with procurement.
scratchchin How about Dirty Stan and the Wombats?
Or Leslie Crowther and June Whitfield singing "It's a Long Way to Mick & Mary's"?

Billy Joel would have been a crowd pleaser, but he is under investigation regarding the Notre Dame thing, although he strongly denies it.

I wonder if Mr. Methane is still around? He could play the National Anthem at the conclusion of the final day.


Oooooooh! This is gonna be sooooooooo good! bounce

That butty looks lovely.

As you probably remember I work in assorted hospitals, I always call the physios Physioterrorists, and its not the intensive care unit, its the expensive care unit

I am afraid I will be awol at the end of June Dicky, I am risking life, limb, my eardrums and my liver by driving the TVR to the nurburgring for the N24 race. I am expecting my liver to take a bit of a kicking from the old German beer
