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. grumpy

The local yoofs round here like their pitbikes and they like to use the local woods as their test track.
c Plod and his mates have been after them for a while and whilst walking home Thursday one of said yoofs was ragging his pitbike through the woods.

Unbeknowst to him, Plod was waiting and as he shot round the corner he was perfectly rugby tackled off his pitbike by quite a large gentleman who promptly proceeded to restrain him when he tried to escape.

Surprise surprise, the bike was stolen and said yoof was of "no fixed abode" rolleyes

Just the other day, whilst waiting at a pedestrian crossing on the very busy A6 that passes through the town, I watched as a pair of clip-cloppers trotted furiously side by side, followed by a hoooooooooooge convoy of backed-up vehicles that had been blocked from overtaking by the four smirking twunts in their pony and trap rigs.

Of course they ignored the red lights.

Aren't they wonderful people?

Failing that, a Dutch chicken.

Alderman Oldman from the Parish council has been on the trumpet, he was asking if you're proposing this to assist in the production of your Dandelion & Dog Piss wine?
I told him it's highly unlikely, I couldn't think of a valid reason on the spur of the moment so I suggested he go fk himself. I expect he'll be in touch with you soon.

In other news, we visited a village craft fair earlier, jolly nice it was too. Mind, some of the prices the "Artisan" types want for their stuff is a little eye-watering to say the least.
Futtette was looking at a tea towel that was made from some kind of "sustainable cotton":

"Ooh, that's nice Bom, it's a lovely pattern"

"Buy it then, if you like it"

"They're twenty eight futtin quid Bom. Each"

Now, in the big scheme of things, £28 isn't a huge amount of money. It's maybe a takeaway meal or not even half a tank of petrol.

But, Twenty eight quid for a futtin tea towel? Really?

World's gone bloody mad silly

Afternoon chaps! wavey

A bit fundry hereabouts in Triv sur Mer, which is nice.

Been busy after my short recce of the badlands of the SWofE as nobody thought to hitch Aled and Daffyd to the mower and cut the lawns and now they are growing by the day, are somewhat overlong! grumpy

I'm surprised the TT brotherhood (aka da T'hood, innit) didn't recognise last evenings' pictorial quiz question!

'Tis a photo of the only working telecommunication booth in T-s-M and is normally frequented by young maidens of this parish receiving calls from their paramours.

I believe there is a final of an association foot ball match this evening so I expect it will be quiet in the Resident's Lounge as it doesn't subscribe to something called BT Sport! Arthur at the Slaughterman Daughter's Arms has arranged to receive this communication from the Iberian peninsula and I have given Benson the evening off to attend the function.

You are all welcome to attend, but please provide details of your CovPoxVax, and financial situation before turning up.

Good evening.
P

st fk bks bd !!!! rageirkedfurious
Came out of the flat to come home and I've got a flat tyre!!! Tentatively try some air in it, get a few miles and I can hear it's losing air so we pull over and swap it for the spare, once off the car I can see the hole in it, it looks like something has punctured it and then come out of the tyre!!! frown

That's bad luck Bobbers. I assume it can't be fixed with a rubber plug within the tread?

Somewhat ironic that a 'flat' refurbishment had led to this!

Have a drink, old boy, maybe the others will deflate on the morrow to match....

I think it's too close to the corner of the tread pequod, and to be honest by the time I got stopped again I could hear the tyre wasn't happy, be safer just to replace it!!

Fish and chips to make up for it though!!! smile

Ah, yes, a bit too close to the shoulder for safety by the sound of it.

Does Hamble le Rice have a decent chippy or did you order from further afield??

Gosport, via Uber Eats or somesuch modern convolution?

We are in the unfortunate position of having a very good fish and chip shop that also does burgers and kebabs, a Chinese takeaway and an Indian restaurant who do takeaways all just up the road from us!!! Couple that with five decent pubs, an Italian and a Thai restaurant all 5 minutes drive away in the village and we're spoilt for choice!!!! smile

I must visit. The last time I was in H-le-R the choice was limited.

IOTN: The Montblanc 149 which the Dowager (formerly His/Her Honour Judge Mentall) used to condemn a few crims has finally stopped working, pending a refurb.

So, I unearthed this fine ballpoint for the time being and wondered what others are using?
