Is there a Saloon Bar at the Burst Hedgehog?
If there is, it should be currently closed to comply with the present covid lockdown measures, and social distancing should be strictly adhered to for safety considerations.

When the Persian Gulf thing kicked off in 1991 there was talk of the possibility of "Airburst Hedgehogs" being deployed against Iraqi ground targets, thankfully no such plan ever came to fruition.

Just as well really, they'd have probably ended up on the "Thou Shalt Not Drop These Buggers From This Day Forth" list along with the JP233 runway denial doings.

Frightening.

I'm feeling a bit more cheerful now.

Which is testament to the restorative powers of 4 pints of Old Speckled Hen and several large single malt whiskies.

And I'm looking forward to Big George coming to play tomorrow afternoon.

Hopefully we can do something in the garden. He needs to learn basic survival skills. And how to deal with badgers, moles and honey otters.

Bizarrely, despite all the goings on and the uncertainty of the machine shop, we have a meeting to discuss this year's pay deal today.

Going to be using my truck, so it will be interesting to see what state it’s currently in.

Going back to my rant about people who appear unable to do their job, our T/L is off for a couple of days, so this should mean that either our manager or another T/L should take our tier1 meeting, do we think that this has happened? No, i wandered into where it was supposed to be, another T/L was setting up his tier1, he looks at me and says, "T/Ls not in mate", i ask who'd taking ours then? He looks sheepish and said, "No one".
Oh right then..........tts!!!

Morning all bounce

I woke up this morning full of the joys of Spring bounce

It's lovely and sunny and it's Friday, poet's day, so I thought I'd go to work on the old Yammy.

Stop off on the way home and have a nice pint of shandy in the pub down by the river, lovely drink

The only downside to this plan I can see is:

It's not Spring yet, it's still officially winter.

It's not sunny at all, it's quite dull and overcast.

It's not Friday.

I haven't got to go to work, I'm on bloody furlough.

The bike's not taxed and it's only insured for fire & theft.

The sodding pub's closed.


Never mind, we must make the most of it. Think I'll wander down to the Co-Op, get a packet of doughnuts.

Nom Nom yum

FRIENDS OF THE BRIGADIER

The Friends of the Brigadier Society - the Frobrisocs as they like to be known - wish it known that it is not the pain the Brigadier objects to it's the indignity of being awoken by savages wielding starting handles.

Stiff upper lip and all that.

Awoken with starting handles. Pah! The very idea.

A Black Forest Gateau doughnut??? yikes

What kind of abomination is that???

Just stick with what you know and love best, Bobbers:

Fish finger doughnuts. smile

Good morning all! wavey

The sun is shining this morning, and I'm feeling muchly more cheerfullerer.
Looking forward to teaching Big George how to rope and hog tie a badger, and how to set and detonate anti-mole mines, whilst keeping a sharp lookout all the time for honey otters and the odd beaver.

Wish me luck.

Bobbers, how will you cope without a no more Tiers meeting?
It's like being aboard a rudderless ship drifting aimlessly towards a sleazy port full of ne'er-do-wells, cut-throats, prostitutes and pick-pockets and dirty dives.

Great! cool

yes Absolutely, Dicky. thumbup

A jump start is far more preferable. bounce

Most unlikely though. frown

Where's that defibrillator?
