Good moaning all. wavey

Hi slopes,
Are you wild camping in Macclesfield Forest/ Forest Chapel, or on the campsite about a mile and a half SE of Buxton, just off the A515?
There are some lovely walks in the area.



And it's a bit cooler in the forests. cool
But watch out for the Roaches near the A53. smile
How's yer pinkie?

Bongtom, nice to hear from you. I mentioned you on here the other day, were your ears burning? How are your missus and Babybongtom?

And Hammo's mention of visiting Corvettes reminded me that we haven't heard from our member with the Big Viper, and his dog Dodge in a long while.

Bobbers, haven't you watched "Secrets of the Museum"?

It's another glorious sunny day here oop norf, and the paint is dry.
I shall apply another coat this morning.
Yes, two coats in this weather!
I must be mad! wobblenuts
We are in that general vacinity Glenners, Buxton - ish

Finger is still broken but due to another 'issue' i had to unstrap the bugger yesterday and take care of this other 'issue'
Does this "other issue" have a name??

IOTN my day's going to ratst!!! Our DNC link is down so we can't load any of the programs to the machines, and we have 16 people out with either (e before I) being pinged by the NHS app of actually testing positive!!!!
Does anybody have to prove that they've been "pinged" by the NHS app before they take a few days off in the sunshine?

I was just wondering how many more people "happened" to be advised to self-isolate on hot, sunny days such as today?

In other news, perched eggs on terst for lunch. Or, if you prefer, eggs, perched on terst. Or eggs, perched, on terst. Or eggs perched on terst.

Punkchewashun matters.

I have just come in from further painting in the garden, and I'm enjoying half a pint of fresh orange juice with crushed ice.

Ooooooh!!! It's bloody gorgeous! lickcloud9
There's a loverly breeze outside, but it's still pretty warm out.

My washing is blowing on the line, ready to bring in.
It was probably dry within 10 mins of hanging it out, but I didn't want to get paint on it.
I shall have to pop to the shops later on: for some unknown reason, this weekend has taken quite a toll on my beer stocks. beerbeerbeer
Any suggestions for what to get for dinner this evening?

But now, another glass of delicious orange juice with crushed ice. lick NOM!

Peri, where are you? frown

Those were the days, Bobbers!
"This is the BBC Light Programme on 1500 metres long wave."
"Here is a new song from Joan Regan..." cloud9

You probably don't remember.

Anne Shelton
Eddie Calvert
Count Graf von Zeppelin and his Gasbags Basie and his Orchestra
Wayne King, your pianist...

Those were the days my friend....

They say .... Even on the greatest days a little rain must fall

Picked up the new chariot today and it was 5hr's of perfect roof down radio up driving all the way to T6 towers,
Got home and Mrs post-person has delivered a letter 'confirming my appointment' and loads of forms to sign for my new employment,

Now the rain,
The new employment is in the automotive field and the new chariot is a competitors car ... nothing like setting a positive first impression on my first day next month wobble
And 5hrs driving with the roof down has slightly tanned my forehead ... Mrs T6 is currently calling me Mr tomato head rolleyes

Nothing more to report in this glorious day smile

That's an easy one, Beetroot Bonce:
Tell your new employers that you like to adopt a policy of "Know Your Enemy".
"Keep your friends close and your enemies* closer still".

Good luck. thumbup

* I have no enemies: I've outlived all of the buggers. biggrin

Bloater? That was a Gt Yarmuff fing when Oi wuz a nipper.

Oop norf norf, it's a smokie or a fishy on a little dishy wiv a stottie when the boot comes in.

Now returned from my shopping foray, I have purchased a large shortcrust Kate & Sidney pie, a nice sirloin steak, a pack of 8 (Eight) chicken thighs ( I just can't resist the thought of having some nice thighs to grapple with ), a 4-pack of OSH, two 4-packs of Abbot, two bottles of Harper's Amber Ale, a pack of tomatoes, some fine green beens, a naubergine, some spring onions and a 4-pinter of milk,
And a roll of Princess themed* gift wrapping paper for Robbopoppet's birthday next month.
Oh, and two bottles of tonic and a large bag of ice koobs. (H2O@ - 15°C)^3
And 4 (Four) Almond Chocsticks.

I did of course, completely forget to buy some salad potatoes. FML frown

* Better than Allegro-themed. But only just. irked

yes
It's called " some complete spasmoid tries to be clever and clean his towball with spray that had alcymahol in it, hoping it would flash off"
It didnt and promptly contaminated said towball with oil irked
This made it produce the most god awfull racket when attached to the car grumpy
This made a certain person start questioning the integrity of the locking mechanism and despite the spasmoid jumping up and down on the hitch, still wasn't happy.
Spasmoid was grumpygrumpy

So there i was cleaning the futtin thing with brake and clutch cleaner and varying shades of glass paper in the hope if removing said contaminant for the trip home.
If not it needs new friction pads.

Why didnt you take them out you spasmoidSlopes and clean them off the van?

Because i can't get the futtin things out that's futtin why and yes, i do know how to remove the futting things grumpygrumpygrumpy

Hi Glen,

I've shown Mrs T6 your comment ....

We had an adult conversation about the naming of the new chariot, my suggestion being "the blue car" or "the Mercedes"

Mrs T6 is currently on the phone to her girly friends .... and to quote
"Oh he's been out all day collecting the midlife-crisis-mobile" mad "oh and he had the roof down all the way home ... he's now got a beetroot bonce" furious

One for the 'she doesn't love me thread'??

Have you concindered/conscindered/considered a tent? Or a foreign holiday...

IOTN: All fishy norf of the IOW are now considered to be bouillabaisse ingreedyents, according to local lore/law/Lew down the pub, so I'm advised?

Good evening!
