Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life Volume 36

I've just been out to feed the pheasant. He sits - on one leg - squawking on the fence post and hops down for his breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner plus in-between snacks. He is a well nourished bird and he is missing his girlfriend who is - presumably - away laying / hatching eggs.

Pity about the missing leg, but he sounds delicious, nonse.
I love a nice plump pheasant casserole.

Better than the half-cooked pheasant remains we used to have to extricate from the leading bogie brake calipers on the HST's as part of the overnight maintenance A Exams.
There would often be one at each end*, but really anything worth eating. They would be covered in dead flies anyway.

* I'm referring to dead pheasants here, not bogie brake calipers. It was unusual to find those missing.

I don't know what time I call this

I suggest that you call it "Pig's Tail Time", PB?

Because it's twirly.

Twirly? Call it "Roxy Time"

Congratulations to Bobbers on 23 gazillion posts, doesn’t he have any work to do?

That bunting might come in handy for the jump to the next volume.

Battert's experimenting again with the Matter Transfer Beam. He says he's on the brink of something and will be with you in a minute. Some of him anyway.

I hope he's not planning to use it on us for the hyperspace jump to the next Volume.

I don't fancy going down that particular wormhole.
I mean, look at it! It's barely big enough for a worm!

This is not how we want to arrive at the new Vol 37:



God help us.

Bully for you Bobbers!

Do we have to jump? It's so undignified. You jump and you more than likely get all tangled up in bunting. This time, couldn't we set up a gangplank or a bosun's chair?

Bobbers may have asked his managers to arrange the move. Unplug volume 36, rearrange the volumes then plug in volume 37. Along the way those posters using out of date software will get dumped.
What could go wrong?

Thanks for the bunting Bomma old chap, jolly decent of you!!!
And thanks for the congratulations chaps, 23,000,000,000,000,000,000,002 posts is a good effort!!!

I have news on the impending Volume change, in line with the present government guidelines of hands, face, space, mace, in case, sterilisation, castration, generalisation, we have decided that Volume 36 needs a deep clean and so have arranged a choice of three methods of Volume swap transportation,
Choice 1 is Dicky's suggestion of a gang plank,
Choice 2 is trusting Battert's Matter Transfer Beam
Choice 3 is taking a running jump from the West Wing corridor out through the window overlooking the front lawn.
Please submit your choices in triplicate to the usual address care of his Srumptiousnessessessess!!!

Can we not arrange a nice gentle peaceful sedate transfer using the power of Incognitive Contemplative Trivial Trance?

There are a lot of missing legs not about today.

( Checks own complement of legs...)

Phew! Three legs all present and correct.


Nice tri-pedal doggie you have there, Pastie Bloater.

Now that you come to mention it

I would advise against Choice 3, i have an itchy digit this morning and need some target practice. Even if you got up a fair head of steam, you can't outrun a bullet.

Just sayin

How do you spell Keynsham?

[glenrobbo]

And come to that, how do you spell Srumptiousnessessessess?

I thought there was supposed to be a 'C' in there somewhere?

[Scrump]

Don’t worry about the spelling the address correctly, just make sure the cheque or postal order is correctly made out to Spontaneous Contribution Relocation Unplanned Moderator Plea.
It can be shortened to SCRUMP

[Pastie Bloater]

Can I just write 'Scrump' anywhere on the envelope and it'll still get there?

Kind of like writing 'L&K' under the stamp and still having it read out on Saturday morning?

As far out, nutty whackjob, brain fart style, lunatic fringe suggestions go that's not bad!!!
Do the Trivial massive think we can pull it off??? Pequod has proven himself quite adept at the old Trance-endental meditation, he could lead the Ooohhhhhmmming and direct us through the power of mind altering thought control!!!

By the way PB, Roxy's lovely, even with an odd number of appendages!!!

Slopes you're just mean!!! Fancy threatening to use the residents choosing option 3 as moving target practice!!!

If anyone wants me, I'm down in the small hanger with Bomma, bolting armour plating and RATO packs onto our Gimmer frames in case we are forced to settle for Option 3.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that either the Trannies and Dental Mediation Trance option is adopted, or the SECRET TUNNEL is completed in the nick of time, and when we finally break out, it doesn't emerge at the bottom of the canal.
