Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life Volume 37
Discussion
We need to start planning our escape transgenderfication realignment move to the shiny new Volume, I've been rummaging around in the barns, the big hangar and the Sunderland and have managed to scrape together two large liferafts, a small liferaft and a kayak, hopefully this will be sufficient for our move across to the new Volume, hopefully Bomma's got the good ship Venus shipshape and glenrobbo's plan can be put into action!!!
Morning all!
Down here in the Deep Sarf it's blowing a hoolie, and the weather forecast is showing "feels like" temperatures starting with a minus sign for the entire day, so I'll be staying indoors, thanks very much. I confidently expect to see a few fishermen out along the sea wall during the course of the day, though. How bad does your life have to be when you would prefer to spend a day being shotblasted by rain and sleet in sub-zero temperatures to being indoors?
I managed to miss the FNQ again, although I do know that the distance to the moon is equal to the average mileage of Alpinas in the PH Classifieds. I've never seen one for sale with fewer miles on the clock than the Starship Enterprise.
Oh well, things to do, but no places to go. Not today. Stay safe and warm, chaps.

I had a plan? 
Ah yes, it's all coming back to me now. I unbolted the wings from the Lysander, but it still wouldn't fit through the tunnel.
And so liferafts are probably our best option.
The price is a mere €2000 per head, or €2,500 per person, cash only in plain brown envelopes please, to B. Battert International Couriers SFA, PO Box 1A1A Trivton-cum-Hardly.
Be aware that neither outboard motors or oars will be supplied, so bring a plank of wood and leave all of your valuable worldly possessions in the small hangar before departure.
You dont want them to be washed up on the shore at Trivton - sur- Mare.
Once your charitable donation has been received, you will be notified of the embarkation details.
Please stay calm and no pushing in.
Morning all 
The Good Ship Venus, shipshape? I suppose it does vaguely resemble some sort of a ship on a good day, mind it's too cold, wet and windy to be buggering about on it today.
So that's the bike and the boat shelved due to the weather
We'll have to sort something out more suited to the winter months, at the moment I'm thinking of something like this:
Look a bit daft driving around Norwich in it I suppose, but there you go.

I think we'd better wait until the rush has died down a bit...
I'm glad of my Granny Schmidt knitted willy warmer, I can tell you!

I'll pop on the right thread now 
Doing well on 'The cat' today.
Good to see the ladies well prepped for the journey
Bet she's got bloody cold legs.
There's still more up there, might as well leave them with it

Poetry baton race to the line???
For example....
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.
'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?
...
ETA: the poem has about 143 stanzas and to add a bit of spice to the fun someone needs to complete it with the last post of volume 37!!!!
Anyone up for the challenge?

Ah, here you are, hiding on Page Two!
Right, gather round and listen very carefully.
I weel say zees urnly wurnce:
All those that have paid the charitable contribution, please make your way in an orderly fashion over to the small hangar with your valuables and await further instruction from Bobbers and Bomma.
Those that haven't yet paid, I'd advise you to get a move on or you'll miss getting a place and risk being incarcerated by the Triton* WI and the Vicar.
If any of you cannot swim, don't worry, you will be handed a lateral float test before embarking on this great adventure to Volume 38
Are there any questions? No? Right, let's crack on then!
Edit: * Triton, the underwater equivalent of Trivton.
Right, gather round and listen very carefully.

And the small inflatable liftraft has a bit of a leak, so whoever goes in that will need a pump too!!!!

Yes, I know that, Bobbers, I was just getting all the punters assembled in one place, so we don't have to go charging around looking for them on Page 2 or 3 at the last bloody minute.And the small inflatable liftraft has a bit of a leak, so whoever goes in that will need a pump too!!!!
We can cram them in that old container next to the small hangar until we've conned them out of all they've got. You cofd reven sell them some Bobberoo FFS, they'll be getting hungry before too long.
Honestly, do I have to do all the thinking around here?
As for the leak, go and find something sticky to mend it.
No, not a stick.
Not all the thinking no, just 97.899% of it!!!
I've found a rubber bung type thing in one of the boxes in the scrungeon, it's a bit of an odd shape but should do the trick!!
Unfortunately i have to go out tonight, could someone else take over the Volumehumping jumping duties for me???

I think I have some plans for a trebuchet somewhere.
It might take a little Macgyvering to make it work with what we have to build it, but it would be fun to fire ourselves into the next thread using it.
The last time we used the old trebuchet, It didn't go strictly according to plan. I think Bobbers would be a bit reluctant to try it again..It might take a little Macgyvering to make it work with what we have to build it, but it would be fun to fire ourselves into the next thread using it.
Mind you, I think it was Pushfit at the controls, and he can be relied upon to be completely random with both his range and azimuth calculations. Never mind the ballistics, here come the OMG!!! sort of thing!

Ah, that's just the jobbie, Bobbers. That should help ease the passages over to Vol 38.I've found a rubber bung type thing in one of the boxes in the scrungeon, it's a bit of an odd shape but should do the trick!!

I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear...

The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide,
And I am next of kin;
The guests are met, the feast is set:
May'st hear the merry din.'
He holds him with his skinny hand,
'There was a ship,' quoth he.
'Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!'
Eftsoons his hand dropt he.
He holds him with his glittering eye—
The Wedding-Guest stood still,
And listens like a three years' child:
The Mariner hath his will.
The Wedding-Guest sat on a stone:
He cannot choose but hear;
And thus spake on that ancient man,
The bright-eyed Mariner.
'The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
Merrily did we drop
Below the kirk, below the hill,
Below the lighthouse top.
