Lovely picture, that.
Incidentally, I have a Buzz Lightyear "Infinity" sticker on the old bike, courtesy of Grandbomma.
I'll ask her if she has one you can display on Percy if you wish.

That would be ace! 
Whoever came up with that catch line for "Toy Story" was a genius.
Good morning Orl,
I've just re-hung out my washing on the

Now I've come back to bed with a cuppa and a biccy before attacking the day head-on.

Good morrow Dermot O'logical old chap, will you be requiring the abacus from the residents lounge bar for your year end calculations?
And lastly for now, a Trivial Towers announcement,
*ahem*
Please ensure all residents vehicles are parked in the designated residents parking area, using the ornamental fountain base as your personal parking space is not permitted!!!
Thank you for your cooperation!!
Look, if a chap can't park creatively after a couple of snifters, the world must be going to hell in a handcart! Whatever next?Good morrow Dermot O'logical old chap, will you be requiring the abacus from the residents lounge bar for your year end calculations?

Yes please, Bobbers. The abacus would be very helpful, as would any advice on how to reconcile the bloody bank account without arousing the suspicion of Old Gimlet, our accountant fellow. There's not much gets past him, even after a long lunch.

Well, keep it under your hat but I've heard that all this came about following a misunderstanding over a "money laundering" deal.
Instead of spearheading an operation involving the "Kebab Kabin & Kar Klean Emporium" in Lower Trivton and thousands of pounds in cash, glenrobbo has ended up taking in Dsoggy's smalls and bedding for a weekly rinse.
Never mind, these things happen. I expect he still makes a few pounds out of it.

I think you're getting confused. Dsoggy Smalls is the base player in the M People tribute band who play in the Smirking Student in Trivster-le-Street most Fridays. T People, I think they're called.

Guess what? The Saab is in the garage. Again.
EGR valve and manifold were full of crap, so got cleaned out last week and the fault codes deleted/engine check light switched off. It was fine, for 24 hours. It now seems the issue is worn plastic bearings on the swirl flaps control rod, whatever the actual eff they are.
Of course, you can’t just buy a replacement bit, you have to buy the whole thing. Garage has done some Googling and has found a place that does a replacement rod and bronze (or brass, I can’t remember now) bearings, so that is now winging its way towards the car.
Of course, it’s a 3 day delivery, so Saaby McSaabcar is back for another visit next Monday. Let’s hope this sorts it once and for all and gets rid of the flat spots between 3-4,000rpm.

As for reconciling stuff I'm afraid if it's higher than 21 I'm buggered!!!

Hope it gets sorted Dibble. In a strange, almost masochistic way I'm almost looking forward to the day my Maserati throws a huge hissy fit. It will you know. Probably! In just a couple of days of ownership I've already realised just how wonderful and downright odd the Italian automotive engineer's mindset is, the build quality of the bodyshell is surprisingly good but the manner in which some of the components are fitted to it and the routing of all the wiring and pipework within is frankly mindboggling.....

TVRs are exactly like that, not two of them alike.I suggest you buy an industrial catering pack of assorted cable ties, Nij.

The bearings will be bronze, probably either (e before I) phosphor bronze or ally/Nickle bronze, swirl flap issues are common on Saabs and BMWs!!EGR valve and manifold were full of crap, so got cleaned out last week and the fault codes deleted/engine check light switched off.

I'm home, it was a moderately productive day but ultimately frustrating, time for a shower and a kip!!!
A shower has been had, although I suppose I could have just stood outside the back door and showered off in the rain it’s coming down that hard here!!! 
I see visitor numbers are down, but it's to be expected with the monsoon like weather we're having, luckily no one abandoned any vehicles in stupid places, so we haven't had to get the Fordson out and tow anything today, although there's a suspicious lookng old Italian thing where P5BNij normally parks, I guess we'll just have see if it's still there tomorrow!!!

Did you get the abacus old chap? I left it outside the door of your room, there were some, interesting noises coming from within, some of them reminiscent of the noises from the Scrungeon!!!

What ho, chaps!
Gshoggy conditions hereabout today with constant dribble, which I must attend to.
IOT Mews: I is going to travel on a haeroplane soon, again. Much excitement albeit with some trepidation...
Will they let me onboard, can I take my own parachute, are drinks served prior to jumping off, and can my parrot come with me...?
So many questions, so little time to wait for officialdom!
Tally ho!
