Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life Volume 37

[Bobberoo]

I've lost track of how many of us are actually attending the TTSPRWYB, as for Percy and Rio racing down the strip, I'm fairly confident that Percy will have made it half way back to the pits by the time Rio finally crosses the finish line!!!

It's not all about speed: it is about the way you arrive.

It is quite extreme in your quest for the fastestest Rioja Bleu on the 1/4 to have an endoscoop shoved up yer exhaust to check for valve clearance, and emissions's, if I may be so bald to suggest such tweakyiness b4 the big event, Bobbers!

Sadly, I will be absent in my attendance due to salty adventures but I shall look forward to reading the full report of the TTSPRWYB (Part 1) on my return.

If another resident wishes to post the TTFNQ this week, I'm sure Battert will be of assistance...

The most excellent Percy will win the day on pure beauty and style over performance, I'm sure Glenners, and a finer pilot sporting his tangerine helmet is yet to be born, I'll warrant...

Why thankyou, Pequod, kind Sir!

The Time has come for me to bid you all bon nuit!!

Goodnight young Bobbers.

I wish you a fine unbroken night of restful sleep and a dry bed in the morning.

[Bobberoo]

Good morrow fellow Trivialites
Thanks to glenrobbo's kind wishes I did indeed have an unbroken night's sleep and indeed my bed was dry this morning!!!
Work until 0945, a journey to the other side of Southampton for a CovPoxLurgy test, and isolation until Friday morning, I have "stuff" planned to keep me occupied, some of it is weather dependent!!

[spikeyhead]

Morning all, am I awake yet?

[paua]

Af'noon gents, winter has returned with a vengeance.

Does this answer your question, or confuse the issue more?!?!

[Magooagain]

Good morning everyone.
Milk has been fetched and jugged!
Rain expected soon.


Snow storm in September while sleeping in a hiace van on a hill in New Zealand still gives me fond memories. Sort of.

[Bobberoo]

Do you get your milk fresh everyday Magoo??

[Bobberoo]

Well i've just had a bit of a result, i'm disassembling a couple of my Lego sets to make space for the ones Mrs Bobbers bought me and the three others i have yet to build, i asked at work if there was any interest, and a work mate ahs snapped them both up!!!

No mate. I could if needed but we have a 3litre churn that we pop down to the farm and the lovley Marie fills it for us straight from the storage glass from a milking machine normally after the cow has just given the milk.
So a couple of times a week normally.
I'm off back down there in a few minutes to price up some more work for them.

If I retire at some point I would like to go and help with the cows etc as its how I started working as a 12 year old boy on my local farm back in Hertfordshire all those years ago.

[Bobberoo]

That would be a lovely way to ease into retirement old chap!!!

For a couple years, when I was a teen, we had a house cow. Took turns hand-milking.

That's quite normal. I have a house cow, but she has stopped yielding altogether these days.
I have thought about getting a young heifer, but I think they're probably more trouble than they are worth.

Although you can't beat whole milk fresh from the cow.

Morning all
Glad you had a good sleep, Bobbers.

Robbopoppetlet and I are just going to feed some carrots to the horseys in the field, and then go to the swing park opposite.
I shall take a microfibre towel to make the big slide more slippery.

Like I say, it's fun fun fun here oop norf!

Nah, just called house cow because it supplied milk to the house, rather than being a commercial animal.
I have, however, visited a dairy farm in the Eifel, where the milking shed etc was attached to the house. Was a 3-storey house with a large smoking closet in the upper floor's chimney for curing various scrumbledidelydumptious meats.

Sounds like a kind of paradise to me Paua! Fresh creamy milk and smoked meats and fish.
Absolute yum yum or Miam Miam as they say rounds these parts.
