I’ve just been shown Mrs P’s new Instagram thing. Her profile picture happens to be her in her finery speaking into a microphone at some do or other.

It looks exactly like she’s about to give a black man a blowjob.

I haven’t stopped sniggering yet. I’ll tell her later.

That's not a microphone.

Don’t give her any ideas.

Mrs fatboy is currently cooking toasted sandwiches

We just had deli rolls, salad, Italian meats, sliced Gouda and coleslaw!!!

As you say Magoo, it's impressive that a simple tool like a trowel can earn so much, however the bloke using it has an awful lot of influence over its abilities!!!

Lunch, despatched.



The Idiot is resting. Quelle surprise...

Moved indoors, we'd been sat in the garden when a chilly wind appeared from nowhere, it was nothing to do with either if us before anyone starts pointing fingers!!!!

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
Through the canyons of the coast
To the Malibu
Where the pretty people play
Hungry for power
To light their neon way
And give them things to do

/eagles - the last resort

I want to keep DickyC.

























As a pet. In a cage.

Right, here we go then, little project for this afternoon / evening.

I've just been having a natter with Futtette, she asked "what's the daftest thing you've ever done at work?"

Let's hear it, it can be as far fetched as you like

I'm not going to tell you mine though. Not until it's got a whole lot sillier.

Accidentally ?

Please assure me that's not in the, "Yo ma li'l puppy now," sense.

I may have to wait a few more years until I’ve retired to cough some of the stuff I’ve managed...

I did once break down on nights in a Vauxhall Astra Panda car (which may, or may not, have had something to do with putting petrol in it, rather than diesel, but I digress). This was very late 90s and pre mobile phones, so I shouted up over the air for the problem solver on the team to come and meet me, which he did. Luckily, he was in the Land Rover, but less luckily, we didn’t have a tow rope between us. We did have two pairs of handcuffs, which made for an “interesting” tow back to the workshop, where we waited for the garage hand to turn up (we were on nights and they usually landed about 7am, just as we were finishing).

The benefit of having a vehicle maintenance unit locally was that a packet of decent biscuits could solve most minor “indiscretions”, and even a misfuel could be sorted with a slab of ale (knowing where the “all night” cash and carry also helped in acquiring said refreshing libation). Nothing went down on paper, of course and even the odd minor prang could be sorted via the spray booth, if you knew who to talk to (and more importantly, who NOT to talk to).

It was more faff getting two replacement sets of handcuffs from HQ clothing stores, as towing an Astra with a Land Rover stretched them out something rotten, meaning the shackle wouldn’t spin through, rendering them useless.

He has a telescopic baton you know,Not sure if that is allowed on sick leave but i'm sure he will rattle your cage with it at 5 am every morning.

Apart from wearing a thong to wind up a chap who is rather homophobic?
Or wearing a full gas mask, leather flying hat and a Hawaiian shirt for a laying up job when working in composites?
Forgetting to set a stop on a lathe while winding the saddle towards the already rotating chuck, with a 30mm shank boring bar hanging out of the tool post and winding the compound slide backwards, the boring bar went into the chuck there was a really loud bang and I was left with just the handle from the compound slide in my hand as the rest of the slide, bar and tool post was ripped off and flung on the floor at my feet!!!

I could go on, there are more!!!

We've reached a tense standoff playing Scrabble, it's 1-1 and the stakes are high!!!

That's good, had a proper chuckle at that. Keep 'em coming...

Ok then, when I worked in Salisbury it was common practice to either tie an arm or a leg of each others boiler suit in a knot and tuck it back inside it's self.
There was an episode where a chaps work boots were part filled with Swarfega, that was funny seeing his reaction!!!
I may have screwed someone's wooden tool chest to a bench, when he tried to pick it up he nearly gave himself a hernia!!!
I once parted off an 8 inch diameter component by mistake by getting the offset wrong, it was rattling around the internal grooving tool making the most horrendous noise!!!!

Having a BBQ this afternoon, tuna, not tinned, proper tuna steaks, burgers, spicy sausages, Piri-piri chicken and lamb koftas!!!

[ApOrbital]

Very nice mr roo and have a grand day.

[StuntmanMike]

Home now, took the really long scenic way there and the long scenic way back.

Went to Coalport and apart from the roads being quiet it was really busy.

Chased a big bike near Eccleshall but we encountered a bit of traffic so bike wins as always.

I was followed through Ironbridge by a really mint looking E46 tourer. Black 54 reg if you’re on here.

Someone is blasting out the Boxer ( lie lie lie ), quite partial to a bit of Paul Simon ( plus he banged a prime Carrie Fisher).

My favourite series is back, Rust Valley Restorations.

Life is nice here.

Hope the trivia section is well.

Sounds good on paper Bobbers, but Tuna? The devil fish. It's cat food at best. Can you deliver a small portion of everything else? If not leave it behind the bike sheds at the village hall. Brown envelope awaits (standard charges apply) any chance of a ffs?
ION I've put all summer stuff back in the shed pending the real arrival of summer.
Cast ye no clouts ( with apologies to Frankie Howard, who was once a pupil at Shooters Hill Grammar School I'm informed)
