It’s starting to fill up in here now. I can barely see across the room to the padded vestibule to check if it was hosed down last night.

That sounds like good news for you Bobbers.

Ah, White Stiletto, the term is ‘self assembly’ is it. I always thought it was ‘shelf assembly’ (probably because I first head Sean Connery use the term in a low budget political thriller - his acting was rather wooden) and was so confused about why so many people were putting up shelves, why there was an entire industry and pine forests focused around shelves and, ultimately, what kind of assembly shelves needed in any event.

I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

I can confirm that it was not hosed down last night!!!
Does anyone have some spare pants i could borrow???

It's funny you should say that. Rich Duisberg, motoring journo of this Parish, approached me about the Humer Unbeam thread and wouldn't it be a good idea to turn it into a book. Five volumes so far.



Because Rich Duisberg works ten times faster than I do, I became a major contributor rather than co-author. It's a shame really because we were going to call it A Book With Two Dicks.

Anyway, I'm off out to lunch. First time in a long time. It is to celebrate what would have been my late mother-in-law's 100th birthday.

Happy Birthday, Alma

That's awesome! And 5 volumes already! It really is good to have a hobby

Also, Two Dicks Pumping would break into niche sectors for you...

...moving along...

...happy birthday, Alma! Enjoy your lunch out!

Just swinging by. I'll take my old room for the night. Please ensure the seagulls are cleared from the balcony. I hate it when they nick my chips while I watch the sun set!

Consider it done sir!!!
Will sir be joining us for a mildly rowdy game of strip canasta later? Will sir be requiring a pitcher of absinthe with his evening meal?

And now if you'll excuse me it's time for my afternoon kip!!

[Bobberoo]

I have been rudely awoken from my kip by Mrs Bobbers crashing through the front door demanding a drink, apparently she's had "a fking st day!!!" Gotta love a girl who tells it straight!!!

[Bobberoo]

Most of us have managed to plead down fairly successfully, although a couple managed to plead up some how!?!??!
Hope you had a good trip away, good to see you back!!!

[Bobberoo]

Ooohhh, ooohhh me sir!!!

TT quiz starts at 2000hrs sharpish.

Usual rules, no conferring or shouting out the answers and you have one (1) hour to complete.

May I ask if me and Futtette are allowed to confer? And can I bring a 'mascot' along?

Futtette is allowed, as is Mrs Bobbers (if she's still talking to him?) and any other wife/'usband/partner in the house. Foning a friend is definitely not aloud.

Mascots will be assessed/searched on arrival to the Resident's Lounge for illegal substances...

What about hidden weapons? My Mascot may have something sharp slushy and stabby hidden about his person!!!

End of "Our Street"???

[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!!!!!

[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???

[Bobberoo]

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

[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........

[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!!!

[Bobberoo]

We've just stopped for lunch!!
Thanks for the how too video glenrobbo,I suggested it to Mrs Bobbers but for some reason she wasn't happy with the idea!!!

st fk bks bd !!!!
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!!!

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!!!
