Ha ha Zoom! You may have forgot about how the French love thier red tape old chap! We needed so much proof of who we were,who we were previously married too,what children I had,where are they,did I have a father etc etc etc.
I can imagine it now at the zoom meet! How do we know who you are on the screen?

Mad Carol will witness for Madam M and I've yet to find anyone.
To put it simply there is no one. I'm hopefull our uk based neighbour will be here by the wedding date,so he can witness for me.

A quick ceremony then back to mine for a dip in the pool and Champagne. That'll do!

Mantic innit!
why would you want to dip in champagne? wouldn't you be better off drinking it?
Don't you have a swimming pool full of champagne???
I thought all powerfully built Trivialites had one!!!!
Obviously I don't, mainly because I'm not a fan of champagne!!!

Fully hand-sequinned in tones of pink from Light Coral to Plum Velvet? I think you'll find those are his race overalls.

Scrump- it isn't ballroom dancing, some fker put one of those electric shock hand things on my chair grumpy

Bobbers - my dancing outfit consists of steel toe cap clogs, leg warmers, puce coloured shorts and tank top, one of those beanie hats with a propeller on it, welding gauntlets and a comedy Marx Brothers fake mustache/glasses combo.

Just saved my g/f £500 on car insurance 2006 ford focus 1,4 wtf.Was £750.
That was bloody steep, our insurance is about £800 for the two cars, postcode plays a big part, a newer car doesn't help!! Bloody good saving though ApO!!! thumbup
Steep? I'll say it is - I renewed my Cooper S insurance today and added the Maser to it, grand total : £341.23! Mind you, it does help being an aged old git wink

Yay, I'm here in time for the TTFNPequiz. woohoobouncedrink

I have just dined on a freshly caught 28-day aged sirloin steak, Jersey Royals and a side dish of Robbopops Special Salad (Mediterranean style).
And I am halfway though my second beer to loosen up the synapses buried somewhere deep in my squidgy grey matter.

Some of my answers may be difficult to decipher, but it doesn't really matter, it's the taking part that counts, innit, eh?

Standing by......

Most excellent you are available to attend the TTFNQ this evening Robbo.

Have you booked a seat in the Lounge Bar and have your NHS C-19 QR ready?

20 mins to start, how many do we have in the bra?

I've rushed the washing up! Which no doubt will be scrutinized in the morning by Madam M. She! in the meantime is already blocked up by drinking two small glasses of white wine and is sat outside in the shade gassing to North Norfolk!
When she started her bus this afternoon it showed 41 degree's!

We had a large salard tonight laced with pan fried prawns and some sort of stuffed pasta in a pesto liquid.
Agent M and I shared a rather nice ice cream this afternoon and now she has eaten her dinner and is now chewing on a new hoof!
She has a shock coming in the morning though as she is starting to show reluctance in going walkies,due to the heat I imagine.
As she likes to lay in till 9.30 most mornings the shock of a 7am ramble won't be welcomed I imagine.

The only one I've got a clue about is

Q9 - What is a Quadratrix of Hippias?


I think one of those picked me up in a Luton nightclub sometime in the 1980s and took me away to use me.
