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

[Bobberoo99]

Of the five of us scheduled to be here from 0500 this morning only two of us made it in for that time, a third has just turned up, and management wonder why were not meeting the hours targets!!!!
Still, I have chocolate chip hotcross buns, yes Dicky I'm still eating them!!!

TrophyHusband, I'm getting the idea that the Great Leap Forward you are actually making is being able to eat toast anywhere and everywhere. Valuable work, please keep us updated.

On the subject of your shrinking knitwear, might I suggest a good quality merino instead?

Back to the abuses of the Geneva Convention by the WI, I remain convinced it is something our politicians should be addressing in the House of Commons, before more underpants are needlessly destroyed.

Toast is important! But only with President butter!
Merino? Check. Same result!

I doubt they'll do much old chap, most of them have at one time or another been subjected to the relentless onslaught that is Lady Pemberly-Smythe, the local MP and leader of the Trivton Marsh WI, to be blunt Digga I'd just start buying your undercrackers in bulk and maybe invest in a jockstrap, having said that they're not averse to hauling you up by your jockstrap, as glenrobbo will attest to, he still walks with a limp in cold weather now!!!

Well, that's what I've got in the hangar, then there's the 2.4 metric tonnes behind the old control tower, then there's the 36 boxes I squirreled away in the old stables behind that pile of spent shell casings, and not forgetting the 12 dozen I managed to squeeze in between the sweaty claymores, so not that many really!!!

It was as well we made him welcome. He dines with President Butter.

[Bobberoo99]

Ah but, does he use the good china when doing so??? We wouldn't want him using the tin plates and plastic cutlery normally used in the residents lounge!!!!

[DickyC]

Look, we gave Herby Butter the Presidency to keep him quiet. It's a ceremonial role so he can't do too much damage. He can't expect the good china as well just because he entertains occasionally.

I'm feeling that I ought to be feeling honoured!
I once slept with Rhona Cameron.

The Friday night conundrum:

Why does a bottle of wine only fill a glass four times before it's empty?

You need the 44 Magnum version

I prefer the strong Rouge Version rather than the light punk mouthwash

fatboy: What's your favourite wine?

Dicky: Red with a screw cap.

Yes.......Strong ones

Can recommend "Oldenburg" Produce of South Africa uses the Syrah grape 15% Full body
Basically anything 15% + Been through 100s of bottles of French plonk trying to find something outstanding but never really had much luck, so usually end up drinking Bold Spanish Deep Reds.

Clearing mum's house. Finding stuff. This is about as sinister as it gets.

Dicky you obviously aren't looking hard enough, have you lifted any of the floorboards yet???

The sideboard is as far as we pushed this time. Back at Base Camp now.



We knew she drank. King Edwards? Do you think she gambled?

She ran up debts, didn't she?

Oh My Girdlestone. She drank, smoked and gambled away my inheritance.

You mean it doesn't normally come in a box with a tap on the front??!? Next you'll be telling me it shouldn't be drunk by the pint from a pewter tankard!!!

Buying wine in a box is recommended, particularly if your at Le mans, take foil bag out of box and when security look in your bag they think its just wrapped up rolls or sandwiches

Um, I don't know how to tell you this Dicky, we'd all hoped it would never come out but now it has, well............Your mum was the pit boss at Salcombe Slingers, a notorious gambling den of ill repute, she ran a tight house taking 10% of all pots and a minimum buy in of £500!!!!!

By the way, those are lovely Portmeirion Botanic Garden napkins/tea towels in that drawer, Mrs Bobbers has a fair collection of the stuff, mainly serving pieces and plates/cups/bowls!!
