Gude Moaneve, my Trivial Band of Brothers ( No, not the typewriter ribbon 
). 
Elbow Test successfully continuing to produce negative results. Am I doing it right? I don't have any of the high tech cardio monitoring equipment strap-ons that Still Mulling seems so keen on, I'd only become paranoid and fretful and everything if a reading veered from the norm. And if a battery went flat, I'd assume I'd got dedded
I've still heard nothing from either hospital, I suppose I'd better start pestering them again.
How hard can it be to get a date? I never had any problems when I was a young stud.
I watched my first ever port film last night.
:sigh: I was so much younger then...
Dicky/Raquel, It's so good to hear that you've reached a well-deserved happy state of recovery
you've given me a good insight into what to expect when/if my turn ever comes.
This time next year Rodders..
Following a busier than usual full day of Robbopopping and other stuff yesterday, I've got a more leisurelierer programme of itineraries on today's list of agendas (agendaii?), starting with restocking my pillbox.
I need to re-order some of the large-calibre Haribo which I get through at twice the rate of the other stuff because I have to pop 'em down twice a day, but they will only issue a 60-round ammo boxful at a time, whereas the other Starmix rounds are all on two months' issue at a time.
I do get confused over the instructions on one particular item: "Take one a day at night".
I wish they'd just specify which they would prefer.
IOTN, as predicted by Carol Witherwether, today feels a bit warmer, and the clouds are leaving gaps between each other which is nice.
There was a really big ol' Moon low over the SW horizon when I peeped out of my window at 03:27hrs this morrning.
I wonder if it was a Harvest Moon? I expect Hammo will know, he's into that astronomical stuff, such at those charges for driving into that Lunnun where those Lezzes are.
I don't know how that Sad Dick Karno gets away with it.
Anyway, I wish all of you a pleasant, nay, enjoyable day of immersive hi-fidelity virtual reality with surround sound, engaged in a fulfilling and rewarding experience of whichever Trivial Pursuits you have chosen/had foisted upon you/stumbled across by accident/or meticulously planned for mumfphs.
Carry on Chaps!

Good morneve, Trivs!
Good news, Dicky. You must be relieved, and there's so much to look forward to. Although I can't think of anything right now, but if I do, I'll mention it.
I heard about the water leak in Bobbersville on the local traffic news, so it must have been serious, although there was noo mention of Mr and Mrs Bobbers having to take to a bicycle in order to get home.
Meanwhile, here in Trivton-sur-Mer, it's dull, wet and miserable, with the promise of more dullness, wetness and miserableness to come, according to Carol Witheweather, which is a bit of a shame as my daughter collects her new car this evening. She's very excited about it.
I expect that I'll be spending most of the day indoors, so one of three things will happen - either I'll find some things to do, and as a result my home will be clean and tidy, or I'll spend hours on the Internet and probably end up buying stuff, or I'll fall asleep on the sofa and not do anything.
Decisions, decisions...

I am currently trying to assemble questions for this weeks TTFNSQ and it promises to be a proper belter. I say trying to assemble them as i have removed several questions which would have been a bit hard i think, so am trying to find less difficult ones to replace them.
And after deciding not to go with a theme, it's all change and this one will have a theme after all.
And for those paying attention recently, i am sure you can guess a general idea of what the theme might be based around

What was the name of the conductor who persuaded Reg Varney into giving up driving buses and change his name to Matt Monroe, who was then fatally killed by the Mafia bulldozer when he drove his Lamborghini into that alpine tunnel on the Colle de Nivolet?

Trivial pedantry hat...
Oh yes, there it is.
I think you'll find....
"Agendas", agendaii, agendae and similar variations on the theme are superfluous. "Agenda" is itself a plural, the singular term being "agendum".
Only yesterday I heard some bod on the wireless say that "the data doesn't support that" (whatever it was). The verb implying that "data" is singular when of course it's the plural of datum.
And this morning I learned from the same wireless that Grant Shapps is the new Seckitery of Defence.
Perhaps I should get some CDs of whales singing or something of the sort. That wireless is bad for my blood pressure.
BTW the Memsahib is a trifle under the weather today, having a severely upset tummy so I will be impersonating a dutiful and devoted husband.

So far I've taken Mrs B to M&S to buy more knickers, bought her a prawn & marie rose salad baguette with a custard slice for afters, and in a minute as it's stopped raining will be heading to the beach. Tonight we're off to a very good local bwyty (restaurant) for an evening meal of local produce. The owner is a good friend of Pierre Marco White and many rugby players...

Enjoy your Lobster and Sheepdog with Barabrydd and Laverbread.
Thanks for the clarification, Error_404.
I hope the Memsahib is soon feeling better after your tender loving ministrations.
She's jolly lucky to have you at home now that have all that spare time on your hands.
Have you given her any Battert's Restorative yet?
Or are you wisely keeping that in reserve as a last resort?

I'm certain he would have done a much better job of it than Shan't Crapps.
And he would probably have cost us a lot less too.
Perhaps it's time for a pre-emptive strike?

I'm sure the PM could have found somebody more competent to take charge of the defence of the United Kingdom. Liz Truss, perhaps?

Batterts Restorative? Good heavens, no need for that sort of thing is there? She's not a bad old stick and I've started to get rather fond of her.
IOTN, my new No.80 cabinet scraper has arrived but I haven't had a chance to go and play with it yet. But I did make a rack for my hammers this morning. They were all in a drawer before, but they kept jamming it which was a trifle tedious.
Well that's another day done!!!
And the full scale of the massive issue I've alluded to has finally surfaced, the cost of parts alone has six zeros.
Sorry to hear that Mrs Error 404 is poorly, please pass on our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
And it's jolly good to see you back General Banter!!!
Happy anniversary to you both Byker28i!!!
