Good morneve Trivs, Trivettes and others.
Yesterday I had a follow-up appointment with a noptometrist who checked that my port eye was recovered from its cataract operation, and then offered to refer me for the same process on the starboard eye. So I agreed, on the basis that it gets it out of the way, and I'll be left with near-perfect vision, as long as everything goes as well as before.
Which will be nice.
Today, I am having my annual eye screening (both eyes, application of the extract of stinging nettle mixed with Carolina Reaper chilli oil in both eyes). We all need something to look forward to, and I'm looking forward to this afternoon, when I won't have anybody doing things to my eyes.
ION, I saw your post about having a pee with Frank Sytner, Dicky, I'm not sure that I would want to be anywhere in the vicinity of Frank Sytner when he was in a good mood, and especially not if he was feeling a bit miffed about something.
Trivial fact: Frank Sytner's teammate in a works-supported BMW team in the BTCC back when it was good, was a very talented chap called James Weaver. My racing overalls were previously owned by Mr Weaver. There was a standing joke that I should just throw the overalls into the cockpit of the Formula Vee car and let them get on with it.
Have as good a day as possible!

I'm not a big chap but I was bigger than Frank Sytner and amazed at how much energy radiated from him. Daunting, he was. Of course, he may have just come in from racing and been very hot. It was like standing next to a storage heater. He'd been thrashing his DB3S unmercifully. I should have had a word about his mechanically unsympathetic behaviour but if i had, the cleaners would have found me quaking in a cubicle.

It is hoped that Dicky didn't cross streams with the volatile Mr. S, that would have been extremely hazardous!

Well, it's agnuther day for Ewan Mee in
I'm just popping down to Greenfields shop for some milk. Does anyone need anything bringing back? Nothing too heavy though, I don't want to end up like poor Bobbers. I've already enough trouble wiv me 'ernia!
Moderation is the key to a good exercise regime, but don't moderate to excess.
Good luck with the helements today, Magoo, remember to pace yourself and don't overdo it.
To everyone else, have a splendiferous day and make the most of it.
This is not a drill.

I am in a dilemma .
The red beast has gone to a garage for fixing stuff.
I passed signs saying ULEZ but I did not see cameras , this was on the estate where the garage is so I walked around looking for said invisible cameras , did not see any .
To pay or not to pay ?
I think there are a lot more signs than cameras .signs are cheaper to put up and scare people into paying .
On the walk home ,I saw more signs , one was on a tiny Cul de Sac with 16 homes , why would they bother putting up a camera for 16 residents ?
£12.50 or wait for a fine that may or may not happen ?
I have looked at an unofficial camera location site that shows that I have not passed any cameras .
TFL do not have a checker that tells whether vehicle A123 ABC does need to pay .

Go through the motions of paying and it will say if you need to pay or not.The red beast has gone to a garage for fixing stuff.

Will it? Won't it?
It's really exciting.
For us out-of-towners.

Have you done that before and found confirmation either way of to pay or not ?
I have. Worse, I assumed I would have to pay. It was my 2012 Jap import C Class that doesn't appear anywhere I could find to check. So I decided I'd pay and the system said no, the car is exempt, keep your money. I added the very last bit.

And the scaffolders have finished, blimey they were quick
There is a reason why the British army tells its new recruits that they will be taught how to win a fight against any but a group of scaffolders 
What is the difference between a dilemma and a quandary? 
It's a tough one,and no mistake.
On the other hand: toupée or not toupée?
That's an easy one.
You can tell by the rugged appearance that it's a syrup, innit?
Or possibly honey.
"A Honey Hairpiece, for the manukan carry it off."
I'm rambling, aren't I?

I am not going to pay the ULEZ ,I believe I have not passed any cameras , i actually asked at the garage reception about it but he wasn't completely positive if there are cameras on the estate .
I will take one for the team if I get fined , who needs money anyway ?
Nooo. You told us you fed the system correct info and it didn't want money. Job done. I shouldn't have added the made up bit about it saying 'Keep Your Money.' It was confusing. Apologies. I will take one for the team if I get fined , who needs money anyway ?
