I've packed up work for the rest of the week. I'm carrying to many injuries and it's getting me down.

Afternoon all. Futtette has managed to lose one of her maltesers in the general area of the sofa, she's in the process of dismantling it. I've mentioned that the "Five Second Rule" with a view to eating the comestible upon recovery has long expired.

"I've got a five minute rule when it comes to maltesers Bom, any sort of chocolate in fact. Five hours if that's what it takes. A week on futtin Friday if push comes to shove, the little frigger's not getting away"

You need five glasses to be sure.

ISWYDT!!!
Mrs Bobbers is rather fond of a nice Tawny port but won't spend much on one, I've just ordered her a rather nice presentation decanter with a Pocas 10yr old Tawny in as part of her Christmas present, reasonably priced at £52 delivered!!!

I once entered Daventry Railport, a vintage hole if ever there was one..! Well, perhaps not that vintage, it only opened in 1997. Que a short but slightly funny tale told to me by someone who worked there from the start, bearing in mind it's a container terminal - a couple of weeks after it opened an elderly couple turned up in a Rover 214 and asked the receptionist if this was the right place to catch the inter-continental express train to Paris.

I've never been to Paris, is it still there...?

Time for the Seasonal TT Bucket List?

I'd like to:

Cross the Atlantic by sea
Fly in a (two seat) Spitfire
Drive a real Cobra

That'll do for starters.

I'd like to:

Scuba dive
Do Route66 in a Mustang
And like our illustrious leader go up in a Spitfire!!!

Ooh, Route 66...

I've done bits of the western end of Route 66. Be good to tie up crossing the Atlantic by sea and heading west from Chicago to LA. More than two thousand miles all the way.

There's a song in there trying to get out.

The only issue I can see with me scuba diving is that I swim like a brick, so throw on some scuba gear and I reckon I'm not coming back up!!!!
