Well done all and I believe witteringon is this weeks' winner by providing an answer to every question!

Same time next week?

P

[Bobberoo]

YAY witteringon!!!

Yep definitely need this weekly please peqoud!!!!

[Bobberoo]

We've just booked parking at Edinburgh airport for when we're there in September, Edinburgh that is, not the airport, anyway, it was cheaper to park at the airport and use the tram for the three days than it was to park in Edinburgh for 24hrs!!!!!

[Bomma R1]

Congratulations witterington old chap, good show

And thanks again to pequod.

[Bobberoo]

We should see if any of the old trophy's are still in the trophy cabinet in the corner of the billiards room, witteringon deserves something in recognition of his win!!!!!

[Bobberoo]

I've been and checked, there's a trophy for the shaggiest beard for one Arthur Mirkin, a trophy for sheep wrestling for someone called Desdyke, and a medal for third place in the Trivton-under-marsh bog snorkeling finals from 1967, so which one would you like wittering???

[witteringon]

I think I'd rather quietly move on, thanks all the same.

[Bobberoo]

Probably a wise decision, one of the trophy's is plastic and the medal is quite tarnished!!!

[glenrobbo]

Bugger!
I missed the Pequiz again!

I have been busy messaging people regarding two lots of funeral arrangements, then I received ( i before e ) a long telephone call from a friend who has just returned from a trip, so we had a lengthy catch-up chat.

Then I realised my WiFi thingummyjig was acting daft again, so no Internet. It's been a bit sporadic for the past few days, so I never know I'm on t'internet, or whether I'm churning through my data allowance at vast expense, ratcheting up the £££££s

Bloody tecknollergy!

Never mind. Whisky is the answer. Cheers!

We wondered where you were. Did you forget? We're all in the Creative Committee meeting for next year when Trivton takes on the mantle of City of Trivia 2022.

Yes, we know Trivton isn't a city but they were a bit short of entries and made an exception.

[Bobberoo]

Morning chaps
As high powered, super intense, creative think-tank like committee meetings go that was pretty well behaved!!! If you ignore the vergers foul language and Mrs Greenfield's outbursts it all went fairly smoothly, maybe next time we'll even discuss the subject of hosting the City of Trivia should we get it!!!

IOTN I will mainly be painting all day........

You are Handy wehole AICMFP.

Bob Ross can do one in less than half an hour.

Banksy can do one in the night.

Damien Hurst can just do one when he's half a sheep

Jackson's paintings are Pollocks.

Hey! Wayne! was a little known but very noticeable Trivton Graffiti work attributed to Constable Dunstable.


Top Painting Tip
If you cut one of your ears off,
your paintings will be worth a fortune long after you've gone.


It doesn't have to take all day...

Yes, we know Trivton isn't a city but they were a bit short of entries and made an exception.

I was going to suggest that an old galvanised steel animal feed trough full of mud and planted with dandelions and couch grass would make an attractive centrepiece on the village green to celebrate Trivton's appointment as "City of Trivia 2022".

It would also be something on which the local yoofs could test their motorcross skills whilst also churning up the greensward with their knibbly tyred, unsilenced, untaxed and uninsured trail bikes.


Edit: Knobbly, knot Knibbly.

Stupid phat phingers.

What you need, PB, is a regular afternoon nap, à la Bobbers.
Failing that, a Dutch chicken.

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

[Bobberoo]

There's a lot to be said for an afternoon power nap recharge!!!
So we've just "popped into M&S for a couple of bits", £67 later we appear to have done another weeks worth of shopping!!!

[Scrump]

They are not just any bits, they are M&S bits.
