Lovely old thing it was, like a bloody boardroom on wheels. Good turn of speed too, once the old girl was rolling.
Once the old girl "had gathered up her skirts."
Indeed, that's the phrase I should have used. Reminds me of the time a friend of mine took my 2.8i Capri for a blast, shortly after i'd fitted the 3" exhaust things to it.

"Bloody hell Bomma, it gets its skirt up like a Bangkok we".

The difference between a 'hooligan's motor' and a 'gentleman's carriage' I expect.

A bit like the difference between a Club 18/30 in Aiya Napa and a long weekend in Southwold.

I've had the good fortune to do both. Regrets? I've had a few, then again, too few to mention.

Nearly there. Apologies for the radio silence but I've nearly finished to tunnel from the Isolation Hospital. Digging the tunnel was difficult enough but some bright spark put vaulting horse on the list, I’m pushing it in front of me but how I can make my escape on it goodness knows....
Ah there you are Pushfit old chap!!! Have you really been stuck in that tunnel all this time?!?! yikes
The, ah, pummel horse, yes, now that may be my fault, you see I ordered one for the escape committee due to the destruction of the last one when you blew up half the main staircase helped me get out from the understairs cupboard, unfortunately anybody digging a tunnel must have a pummel horse, it's one of the rules the escape committee insists on!!!!

They’re correctly referred to as “Gentlemen’s art pamphlets”.

For punishment, I’m tempted to post a “medical” picture... but I won’t.

ION, I’ve had a very mediocre, very early “Just Eat” dinner. “Southern fried” chicken and chips bland. Doner kebab; also bland, but I’ve saved the majority for tomorrow and I’ll liven it up with with some Lingham’s chilli sauce or some Sriracha. The cheesy garlic bread was... cheesy and garlic flavoured.

I did toy with the idea of nipping out for “a” pint, but in my current state, “nipping” anywhere is a right bloody kerfuffle, so I didn’t. I did have a quick livened of a Bailey’s iced coffee latte, which was lurking at the back of the fridge. Neither fish, nor fowl. I’d rather stick with straight Bailey’s.

If anyone is thinking of watching “Operation Red Sea”, a Chinese action film on Netflix, don’t. It’s utter dirge.

Don't worry Pushfit, the Verger has been looking after it for you. It's been quite safe in his hands.
Although I think you should have had it all laminated whilst the special offer was on at Trivton Office Essentials.

Dibs, that SRT Charger Armourlite thingy looks just the ticket for our security requirements during the festival, but does it come with the really earsplitting NEE-NARs? yikes

And don't forget it needs to be "otherwise engaged" when the three Colombian registered light aircraft arrive during the festival to be greeted by that posse of blacked-out Overfinch Range Rovers with blokes wearing dark glasses and carrying Uzis.
We wouldn't want Battert's little sideline to be compromised during the climax of the Festival would we?
And we wouldn't want to upset the Chief Constable's pension planning either. nono

ION, I am sat soaking up the last rays of sunshine on my back patio, drinking a nice pint of gin & tonic after assembling a cheap stty Chinese patio table & chairs set that Mrs. Robbo bought on the InterWeb this week. .
I would rather have spent an extra 50 quid on something that would last longer than just one season ( as the old Jewish boy said: "I am not so rich that I can afford to buy cheap things )
but Hey Ho! It looks nice. rolleyes It's her money.
I wasn't allowed a say in the selection or purchase because whatever I got would undoubtedly look hideous!
As long as nobody heavy tries sitting on a chair, we should be free of personal injury claims as long as I get every visitor to read the notice and sign my disclaimer.

Welcome back Pushfit.
You have missed many many references to meal choices and some awesome top cuisine hints.
Mostly fish fingers & pasta-based. lick

Talking of which, I'd better get myself some dinner on the go.
See y'all later! Byee! wavey

On my way into the show today,I was behind a Mercedes Vito van with a fabricated helicopter sort of roof,complete with rotor and extended tail.
I completely forgot to take a pic until I saw it going home ,I was 400 yards away at the time,so no pic.
Doh !
I thought it was fun.
I usually go to shows on my own,I was distracted by having people with me.

We've been out in the garden with our neighbours for an impromptu drink and a natter!!

I'm growing increasingly concerned by P5BNij's obvious Murican leanings, I can understand his desire for a Murican Muscle car but he's wearing a Varsity jacket and puffing away on the biggest stogie I've ever seen!!!!

Shame about your mediocre meal Dibs, mind you a splash of chilli sauce will liven anything up!!! Give the idiot a hug from me!!

I have to say Haggis is looking tremendously industrious, about as industrious as some of the lazy little stes on our day shift.

Anyhow, Haggis's job is to protect and entertain, looks like he's making a fair fist of it. Unlike our little sods grumpy

Been giving a bit of thought to the music thing, I reckon we should open with this:

Bobbers on vocals, Dicky on guitar. The sheer commitment would make up for the lack of hair music

By the way, I don't mind having a go on the drums. Penrose could assist too.

I'd like to help but I've just started reading Gardening With Haggis.

With luck it won't be anything like Gardening With Frozen Sausages which I had to abandon part way through Chapter 3 Choosing a Mallet.

Thank you. Admittedly, he's taking on more of a Consultant role than any actual physical graft.

He did however contribute by making this rather large hole in the lawn. eekfurious

Also available as audiobook with Haggis narrating but sales of that are slow tbh. biggrin
