Tell us something really trivial about your life Volume 40

[DickyC]

Four hundred and thirty seven thousand and ninety three unique posts.

That's an average of ninety one posts per day, every day - not a single day missed - in thirteen years, four weeks and one day.

Things change. Under the old system, this would be a random day part way through Volume 44.

As it is, we are here, on the auspicious occasion of the commencement of Volume 40.

Trivialites of the World, I salute you.

Carry on.

Evening All.
Where's my tea?

I found a pound in the driveway about half an hour ago.
Finders keepers

You found a pound in the driveway but missed a croquet lawn covered in irreparably damaged homemade gliders of every variety.

Money mad some people.

Anyway, this new chap, Super Sonic, has anyone looked into the cut of his jib? Any inherent sonic boom liabilities for example? Damaged greenhouses, that sort of caper?

Tape the windows in the Members' Bar is my advice.

Like the Blitz.

Put that light aht!

Who are you?

Your guardian angel, sonny.

I've always hoped for someone more feminine.

Good morning all.

It's a bit cloudy out there today.

I have to attend a meeting in London this morning. The cost of my return rail ticket is a very reasonable £10, a round trip of 80-ish miles.

Volume 40 - blimey!

We're halfway through Volume 44 under the old system.

I blame decimalisation.

Take the Willys jeep. And the bren carrier.
And plenty of C4

And remember that speed of execution and the element of surprise are your best allies.

Hoodares winds!
Good luck

You gave me the Willys.

The IRS have emailed again.

Your Refund Available to Claimmed. Refund Number:28369937

My 'refund available to claimmed' has increased to $26,750.

I'll call our international arm, Anecdotes Sans Frontières, to see if they can throw any light on the matter.

Morning All.
I've just seen a weasel.

Now I'm off to mend a shed.

I wonder how I ever found the time to go to work.

For those who don't know how to tell the difference between stoats and weasels -

Weasels are weaselly identified and stoats are stoatally different.

Currently working from home, to save passing on a mild summer cold.

Thanks for popping in and posting, unfortunately your post has been deemed "Non Trivial" by a panel of specialists, therefore we can't give you a Triv-o-meter reading.

We could confer a Special Circumstances Honorary Reading.

I propose a SCHR of 5.

All those in favour?

I've developed an unhealthy obsession with a Mini Cooper S Clubman.

The level of unhealthiness is dependent on just how much rust there is.

Er, zero hopefully, it is a 13 plate car!!!

Unlucky.

The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore

Had the fortune teller concentrated on matters closer to home, this whole ghastly episode could have been avoided.

Can you lot please stop with the dodgy ticker malarkey, it's bad enough having poor health myself without my strange loony mates Trivial friends being in various states of dodgy ticker based ill health too.

Good news, snowy! I am emerging from the post operation doldrums and am at last seeing the green shoots of recovery. (That's hyperbole. I'm not actually sprouting green shoots. That would be horrid.)

I'm doing stuff and should be signed off in a few weeks to do more stuff with the blessing of the medical fraternity.

Quizzes within quizzes?

Happy Annibykery!

The Trivton Chapter are on their way to the celebrations.



We'll see you there.

It's a damp morning in Norfampton. Hopefully I'll have about 40 fewer emails to deal with today

There's a business opportunity. Start a company called Fewer and sell emails, problems and temporary staff to a waiting world.

"Oh, yes, since we signed up with them we have Fewer emails, Fewer problems - even Fewer staff."

Everyone looks good.

On a more cheery note, it's the TTFNSQ tonight and i am fair proud of this weeks quiz. I don't think the questions will trouble people too much but he theme might catch a few out

How did that happen? I read the theme might catch a few out and the theme from Crossroads started in my head. I didn't watch Crossroads.

Every time I see the word Dawlish I think of Pete and Dud as Dawlish and Barrington.

A robot colonic irrigation!?!?!?

I'm sure the water cannon on the old green goddess is still working, I reckon we can scavenge the rest form around the Towers!!!!

Two tots of rum and the stirrup pump in my day. And try to sound grateful afterwards.

My phone's sense of humour is getting beyond me now. When I open a fresh page it goes to MSN News which draws on news from a variety of sources including the BBC. This from a few minutes ago:
