Over.

He's doing what to himself in his pyjamas?
It's probably best not to ask.

How l8ong has Dicky been performing on OnlyFans?

Wilson, Keppel and Betty.

Not so trivial...Sold my house. Guy came around yesterday evening desperate to see it, missed it when we bought it. Sent him off to see the Estate agent, came around, loved it, bought it full price...

So probably get summer here and then...

Good news. And I got quite a good reading on the Triv-O-Meter by putting the inverter in series.

You have to do these things if you want good results.

Battert showed me how to do it years ago. He uses it on the Vote-O-Matic for the Members' Staff Review. But only for surnames of staff beginning with B. Too technical for me.

Anyway, my stroll took me along the towpath today. I came across this:



Like Danger Mouse but weirder.

And a bike someone had fished out of the canal and left as Objet d'Art.

Byker28i said:

Is that the weir by Victoria park/Ash bridge?

Well, yes, it is, but I've never heard the bridge called that. I've never heard it called anything. I had to look it up. The single track bridge adjacent to it I know as the American Bridge (built during the war) but I've never heard the dual carriageway bridge called anything.

I'm new here. I've only lived here for thirty (30) years.

Today I learned something.

[DickyC]

Art.

River Banksy.

Canal Banksy to be pedantic. River Banksy just sounds better.

Is he friends with Swampy?

Bobbers gave the work its correct title, but even in the art world it's known as Swampy's Bike.

So much conveyed. So few words.

Pub, cheap bitter.

I've arrived home to a lovely invitation to pay either £30 now or £100 if it's over 14 days just for the pleasure of eating at the Ladybower Inn the same as glenrobbo has, great, like I need anymore fking st to deal with.

Mrs Bobbers has taken the decision out of my hands and paid it, she keeps asking if there's anything she can do to help, I wish there was but ultimately I'm down as representative for him which means I have to deal with it.

I'm n ot sure i follow this....i might be being a bit Tim Awfully Nice but Dim but why after having been to the Ladybower Inn, have you had a bil for £30.
Is it for parking by any small chance?

Correct slopes, none of us saw any parking notices and the staff of the Ladybower Inn neglected to inform us of the need to register our vehicles.

Jesus Christ Bobberroo.

I've never heard of anything like that before. Hit them where it hurts, give a bad google review.

Bad review in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Morning all.

Sums, then lunch in 'Spoons

Why exactly are you not dining in the PH 200 Month Club?

That is to say, dining and enjoying the other benefits as well.

Or did you just presume the Rolex was a mistake and kept quiet about it?

Butch Battert, Dicky The Sand Dance Kid and Mrs Brassington?

Mrs Brassington? You scoundrel. If you deny me the Greenfield girls as Betty and First Reserve Betty I'm going to take my Wurlitzer and go.

Today will be interesting as I'm hosting a major customer on site to review product process due to issues with quality, I'm not doing it solo but still daunting for me.

Dominate from the start. Snap on the blue gloves - SNAP- "right who's here for their review"

There is precedent.

Had a bike ride yesterday (almost 60km).
With a mate.
Who I hadn’t seen since we were school kids, over 40 years ago.
Great day out.

Nice.

Very, very nice.

But not trivial.



Satisfying, uplifting, heartwarming.

Sorry Dicky, no offence, but the Greenfield girls are not as easy to pin down / be pinned down by as Mrs Brassington, so I plumped for the easier option.

Apology accepted. I wasn't sure how I was going to remove the Wurlitzer on my own anyway.

This all goes back to an incident where I was sure I overheard Mrs Brassington mentioning me and using the phrase, "Get my teeth into." I had to join the Trivton Self Help Group.

[DickyC]

Backhanders at work?

When I was trade plating I stayed at a Travelodge or Premier in a Motorway Services. I mentioned the two (2) hour maximum parking and the receptionist said they contacted the parking company as a matter of course. A few days later I received a bill for unauthorised overnight parking. I contacted them, they denied hearing from the motel, the motel said they'd check blah, blah, blah. Quite a lot of effort to have the bill deaded and I wondered if the fines for the people who paid rather than argued included a fee for the hotel staff to conveniently forget.

My Nan told me that when she was young, girls having all their teeth removed was considered the perfect gift for a 21st birthday or a newly married bride, to spare them from a lifetime of pain.

She was born 1903...

My gran, who was also born in 1903, had all her teeth out in 1948, in one go. This was one week before my mum's wedding. Her reasoning for the timing wasnt recorded. She had my mum's wedding dress to make, rhe bridesmaids' dresses and my mum's wedding cake to make, all in a time of rationing. She pushed her bike home from the dentist and she looks a bit drawn in the wedding photos.

[DickyC]

My other three (3) grandparents were all born in the 1890s and all died in the 1970s. My mum's mum, born in 1903, died in 2003, just shy of her telegram.

Why am I suddenly remembering the delicious flavour of Farley's Golden Rusks???

Don't tell me that. During my short and not very illustrious career in fashion retailing one of my managers liked Farleys Rusks.

And he was very odd.

[DickyC]

Naturally righthanded, when I slid on ice I led with my left foot. Also, on the rare occasions I was invited to join a game of football, I played on the left.

There was more ice around to slide on in those days.

You can't keep avoiding the 200 Month Club. They'll black ball you.

Or whatever it is they do.

We do.

I'll join in with when I'm up to speed.

The microwave went bang.

Actually, it went bang last night but I forgot and just put something to heat up into a dead microwave.
