Good you'd have loved me. This morning, I attempted to set my second Guinness Book of Record "record", the most novelty Christmas Singers all going at any one time as I rooted through the crate of open ones in Aldi this morning, getting about 30 singing Frosty the Snowman all just out of sync before the first ones stopped.

Got to the till and the checkout girl told me despite the box being fresh on the floor that morning about 15 people had already beaten my attempt so no world record for me.

And googling to find if I still held my other world record it seems I lost it eight years ago. Bradford Uni beat the record I was part of previously for the worlds largest onion bargee.


Nice one in Aldi, I like that.

I shaved so much hair off my face on Wednesday I could pick up most of it with my hands before running the hoover over the remainder. scratchchin

In shop annoyances, bloke last night "pushing" his trolley from the side very slowly ,it was like encountering

a wide lorry load on a narrow road.

If I see the same man doing it again .I'm going to barge him into a display of stuff which will end up all over the floor.

Now you see, that would have amused me no end, instead I was confronted by dithering old biddies, surly staff, wkers in shorts, people wandering around in a daze getting in the way, groups stood at the end of an aisle talking blocking it, people pushing in, empty shelves, yummy mummies paying more attention to their sprogs than where they're going, and a distinct lack of profiteroles!!! frown

Onions make terrible bargees. They get confused by lock gates.

It seems the dental division of wecantorganiseanyfuttinthing.com have come up with a new trick and i’m being pushed into accepting a new role that will involve no technical aspects whatsoever.

I’m half tempted to apply for a job at the local Costco just to drop them in the clarts.

Finally tipped over the edge by a dearth of profiteroles, Bobbers? nono

Think yourself lucky that you can still buy a potato.


For now.

Next year it may prove rather more difficult. frown

Meanwhile, let us all rejoice and join together in giving thanks for Pushfit's. 11000000000000000000000 posts.
A splendid effort! beerparty

That be a lot of reading to catch up on.

I took 2 books to Italy in September.

First , a book on the Gumball rally 2004 ,by some journalist bloke and Richard Dunwoody ,the ex champion jockey who

also is a petrolhead.

Not as humourous as I hoped but at least I finished it ,which book no.2 I did not ,Damon Hill's autobiography.

Didn't finish chapter 2.

I'm thinking about buying a book on Jim Clark ,he didn't live long enough for an autobiography.

At 11011 posts, Pushfit has gone completely binary. eek

That's 27 in decimal

Or Ox1b in hexadecimal

Or XXVII in Roman numerals

And the codeword is "Laters" ( note the uppercase L )


scratchchin Am I trying to read too much into his enigmatic post?

Edit: Aha! I have just found that the ASCII Code converts 11011 to ESC

ESCAPE!

He's telling us that the escape is on! YAY!!! bouncewoohoo

What time are we going under the wire, Pushfit?
It's not the best of nights to be crawling about on our bellies in the long wet grass. It's pretty chilly out there!

Thank God I've got my trusty hip flask of Battert's Restorative. cloud9

If it has Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw on it, those two are funny as.
If you want a giggle, there is a video on youtube of him training with Martyn Ford and Paddy McGuiness doing legs. Very funny

yes to both!! Eddie Hall, Brian Shaw, Robert Oberst and Nick Best, it's on The History channel, really worth a watch, not only for the banter and humor but the feats of strength are very impressive!!!

He did one book, Jim Clark: At The Wheel, in 1964.

Other than that, Graham Gauld and Eric Dymock have both written very good books about Jim.
