nono I hate to argue with such a wizened, learned, esteemed colleague glenrobbo, but the labels definitely read, Uzbekistan Grand Crug Cognac 62.3%Vol, do not consume around naked flames!

Well it be on to this.

It's almost time for Bobbers to get up to make some Lego or flying bits.

I'm supposed to be going to a thing today ,weather not looking good.

I might just sleep instead.



Flat Eric misbehaving,trying to eat Mrs Ted.
Naughty Flat Eric! nono

I hope Mrs.Ted is OK, Peri.

Insomnia?
It's really not worth losing any sleep over. sleep

Nice to see Flat Eric in good spirit, he's a lovely old chap. I like him.

I've been giving some thought to changing the old Mondeo for something different, suggestions so far have all been from females of a broad age range.

The current shortlist is:

McLaren Senna GTR (Get one of the Orange ones Pappy)

Aston Martin Vanquish (Just do it, Dad. You won't rest until you've had one. You'll just keep coming round here complaining your dunked biscuit has dropped in your brew)

Ford Focus EcoDoings (My friend's husband's got one. It's very economical)
...

I'm currently torn between a Range Rover and a TVR Sagaris. Not much help, I know. I might just hang onto the old Mondeo. At least I know where I am with that.

Keep the mondeo but fit a supercharger and paint it orange. That way everyone is happy. wobble

DUCK Design? That thing's absolutely quackers!

Perfect for Bomma, except it needs to be an Estate.

As a petrolhead Bobbers, as indeed I'm sure we all are to one degree or another, I'm ashamed to say I'd not heard of the SVR thing.

I've just been having a look into that, by it's a proper old beast. A lot of money but hellfire, we're only here once. It's not a practice for next time etc.

I'll run it by Grandbomma, I'm sure it'll get the Seal Of Approval. As long as it gets us to Norfolk in reasonable time anyhow, I'm certain it will do.

I'll have to let Claire know we've had a departure from the 1.0 litre Focus. A bloody big one, in fact. Many thanks, old chap.

How about a nice TVR Chimaera like the one I "stanced" back in 2013*?
That's got a nice growly Rover V8 in it, innit?



* We were camping it up at The Cottage of Content". wink

A marvellous looking thing, it'll probably be on Grandbomma's list.

Thing is, I don't really need an estate these days. Not since my old dog passed on, anyhow.

Christ alone knows how I'll justify buying a Range Rover though. I'll come up with something.

Range Rovers and their gas guzzling, leather clad, ilk came to mind this morning when I was pondering the next Extinction Rebellion Rally in London. I feel I should go and show my support for them but don't know where to leave the Aston. I wondered about leaving it in Audley Square Car Park behind The Dorchester and getting a cab. Does anyone have any experience of this sort of thing? It's a real dilemma.

Well that's just plain ridickerless, Bobbers! rolleyes

The only sensible thing they should be doing is rounding up all of the other 98 Bobberoo clones and putting them to work on as many axes as possible, and get rid of all the hopeless numpties that are buggering up the system by their repetitive GIGO methodology.
By so doing, they would maximise the output potential from it's current baseline to at least 127% ( or more with extra tea breaks.)

As long as they hide all of the shiny splashy stabby things.

It's blatantly obvious to me, so why can't they see it?
