I've just googled "Douglas Bader fish & chip in Brighton", and all I got was an account of him shooting down a Heinkel over the Channel so I assume he never had the privilege of the deep fried delight.

What phone do you have?


It's this one, Bobbers

It's a Galaxy, but it's not the 7 litre Brian Muir Racing Galaxyfrom that really interesting era of British Saloon Car Racing

Nor is it a Galaxy far far away.

Nor a silky smooth choccy bar favoured by ladies in diaphanous negligibles. nono

It's the Galaxy that's the next size up from the C-Max,
the A13, the one that takes you from that Lundin all the way to Sarfend for fun at the Kursaal place of pleasuring.

Glad our Glenners is back amongst us, for a moment there I feared he'd accidentally wandered into the 'Flat Earthers' thread by mistake and fallen off the edge into the abyss. Welcome back young man, I know firsthand what it's like to be offline without consent so to speak - a few years ago our old PC had an utter melt down which caused no end of problems for Mrs.P5B as her little home based business depended on it, it took three months to get sorted but she did manage to re-establish contact with her customers eventually.

IOVTN, I had a thumping headache at work last night which probably explains the strange ethereal dream I awoke form this morning, it really was bizarre - I dreamt that my Maserati Biturbo was stolen by Edward Fox wearing a cravat a la 'Day Of The Jackal', he then ram raided a footwear boutique with it and made off with several pairs of shiny black kinky boots. I think a long, quiet lie down might be in order! wobble
Thanks Nij, appreciated. thumbup

Now why can't I have lurid dreams like that?
I could do with some kinky boots in my life.
Although I would prefer something a bit more foxy than Edward to share my dream. wink

Welcome home, Glenners. It's great to have you back.

Typically when I was out on Friday night, question one wasy specialist subject of local knowledge. My dad grew up across the road from Arkwright's.

Just smashed a cracking fry-up prepared by Mrs. M. Touring cars on the box. Sun breaking through so I can hopefully cut the grass later. That's a good Sunday in my book.

Silly question but are using it in portrait mode or landscape mode?? Also, if you are browsing the full website, it will be different to browsing the mobile site

No idea what that means, but we do need a new lawnmower.

I would think everything on the phone was updated when everything was loaded onto it. It took a long time lading stuff this morning.

On my Sony, I usually used desktop format rather than mobile, it was more user friendly: you could slide the text from side to side with a swipe of the finger on the text, iyswim.
With this Galaxy, you have to swipe in the margin outside the box to find where the cursor has got to.

Perhaps I need to orientate my finger to landscape mode, à la Bob Ross?
But I won't be getting a curly perm. nono

There's not really enough to perm after last week's salvaging by the barber.
Well, I did ask for a No.8

Savaging.

Good to see the autocorrect is working perfectly. rolleyes

I have been tearing down the remains of the old fencing and prepping the beds for the new bases. There is a formidable tangle of nettles, brambles, ivy, dandelions, periwinkles ( Hi, Peri! wavey ), some scraggy bushes and suchlike on the neighbours' side, and a step variation in height either side of the fence line. They are a nice young couple with a 2 yr old lad, and they are not really jeans gardeners.
We need to agree on what to do before I progress any further.
Anyway, rain has stopped play, so it's tme to get my dinner on the go.

That might be the problem, I just use the mobile format on my Galaxy, it seems to work OK!!

Had a very lazy afternoon looking at stuff on the laptop, now preparing our tea of sweet and sour pork with wholegrain rice!!

Whatho chaps...

I must report another episode of kneeling today. Not that sort of annealing or the other supplicantational variety, oh no! Despite it being CHUR -URCH day I managed a few hours in the herb garden, sorting out the rampant mint and other bu**ers wishing to take over the plot!

So anyway but, I now have what was described in olden times as, housemade's (!) knee, or a swelling in the sac at the front of the knee called the prepatellar bursa!!

Tis the end of ol' pequod, well halfway down the leg, and no mistake, so/sew/sioux I must enter the ethereal world of Vol 39 to depart in the Sound of Soylents....
