Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life Volume 37

[paua]

I've seen tens of thousands of seals - some playful ( pups nibbling on my fins), some aggressive & intimidating ( think late teenage males with ATTITUDE when you're in the wrong pub), some very territorial/ possessive ( mating season) & a few times, only half a seal ( great whitey bitey has seen them first).
When the latter situation occurs, it's instantly beer o'clock, it's always after 4 pm somewhere in the world.
Good evening men of gentleness, nearly sleepy time here. The steak is digesting & red bottle is approaching low tide.

Oh well that explains it then, silly me, not noticing the pips on his uniform

The slight inconvenience was made up for by the splendid views across the Welland Valley as I trundled my troublesome trucks across the mighty edifice of Harringworth Viaduct.

He'll be on jankers if you spotted pips on any sort of uniform, he is meant to be blending in with the civvies in that area..
It is quite nice away from the usual railway lines

[Bobberoo]

I'm still at wemakeplanebits.com, just about to leave in fact, being the heroic, selfless, sauve sophisticated engineering chap I am I stayed on to get a job finished!!!

[Bobberoo]

Cinderbobbering session finished, house all clean!!
Just been talking to my incredibly interesting neighbour, she used to be in an ice skating troupe with performing monkeys and travelled the world back in the 80's!!!

However, there have been complaints about the parking arrangements here at the Towers, a family stupidly abandoned their stty chav mobile parked their SUV close to the hangar at lunchtime, it's, er, disappeared apparently, if anyone knows the whereabouts of the oversized piece of st Range Rover please keep it to yourself and hopefully it'll be put down as a theft!!!

It's one of the joys of the job, seeing some lovely parts of the country, and this particular route has a definite feeling of being in the middle of nowhere and being in a bit of a time warp. At some of the stations and crossings between Syston and Manton I get to wave at the signalmen (and women) as I pootle through, it's all jolly old fashioned but it still works.

Excellent stuff p, we're looking forward to it.

Not the Eggnog though, I've seen what's gone into it. I'll bring my own Absinthe along.

Just to set the record straight over this business, it hasn't been stolen, it's been relocated.

If the owner would like it back, all they need to produce is a 250 foot tow rope, a winch and a scuba diver. And a hundred quid cash in a plain envelope.

Ah, in that case it's probably best just to deny all knowledge old chap, they were shouting all sorts of threats about solicitors and police, I even offered them a refund!!!

Refund be buggered old boy, Battert had erected a sign clearly stating "NO PARKIN"

Hardly my fault they'd assumed we were some kind of bloody cake stall

[Bomma R1]

Anyhow, now we've dragged the trebuchet out I'm going to leave it on the airfield for a bit.

If anyone else wants to park in front of the hangar, go ahead. Make my day.

bds

[Bobberoo]

Maybe we need to convene the committee to see about organising the parking, both for the residents, guests and the great unwashed peasantry paying visitors!!

[Bobberoo]

Doombar for me tonight, cheers all!!

A bit quiet in here this evening?

Yes, it seems to be old boy. I've just been sharpening my pencil, do you think it would help if I lobbed a thunderflash in the gents' cludgie?

If you think that's where they are all hiding, by all means.
