What's happened to Peri?

With just 2 more posts required to attain the magical target, he seems to have faltered.
Has he gorn orf again?
Or has he been nobbled?

The bunting is up in readiness, and Mrs. Greenfield has brought in a tray of cakes for the celebration, and I have put the kettle on.
If he doesn't show up soon, the fish paste sandwiches will have to be thrown away, and I can't abide such waste. irked

Put them in the food processor with a raw egg and a good dash of Henderson's Relish, give it a French sounding name and serve dollops of it as the Fish Course this evening. It'll be fine. Especially if we go to dinner via the bar.

I might give the Fish Course a miss this evening.

Good idea, Dicky. thumbup

I'll put a sliver of anchovy and a small sprig of parsley on top of each dollop, that should lift them onto a new gastronomic plane.

( I'd better add an in-flight sickness bag to each place setting.)

I shall call them "Andouillettes de Mer". bowtie

Battert wrote it on the back of his To Do List. It will be pinned back up again when he returns from the blacksmiths.

Dicky, glad to hear you found the missing underpants, did you see any trousers there?

You have not kept is up to date with events since your reunion. Was putting them on like slipping into an old friend?

Damn, I wish I'd known he was going there, I need some new Blakeys for my work boots.
Stan the Black can knock up a set in next to no time, and charges much less than the Trivton Cobblers.

I took you a long time to Zero in on that comment, Bomma.

Yes, it's Harry Taters out there at the moment.

I'm not really looking forward to the freezing fog at Flash* on the way home late this evening. frown

Trivia alert! Trivia alert! The wizard chap doing the wizard commentary is an actooooor called David De Keyser, a regular in all sorts of films and TV shows, often playing villainous types and a prolific voiceover artiste. I've just started rewatching The Professionals and he appears in an episode from December '79 called 'Servant Of Two Masters' where our man Cowley is suspected of flogging a top secret fake top secret weapon to some dodgy top sevret foreign types...

There was a river craft many moons ago; an elegant boat, it was slender and sat low in the water and took passengers. It was from a more leisurely time altogether. It had the most discreet engine that, if you listened hard enough, would be quietly saying, almost to itself, "Fut, fut, fut."

I wonder if they exist any more.
Alas Dicky I have some bad news, apologies for bursting your whistfully splendiferous bubble of nostalgia but the dear old fut, fut, futter has been purloined and substantially modified by an Italianate tractor magnate with a penchant for making things go very fast and making rather a din...







I know a bloke who knows a bloke who's got an almost watertight cayak for sale on the Lower Trivton River if it helps...?
