Many congratumalations to GlennRobbo on his 43,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,006 posts
Gee thanks spikey, but I've a long way to go to reach that sort of millstone.I'm only on 34k.
Only an optimist would bet on me achieving another 9k persts before shuffling off over the Rainbow Bridge to that Land of Trivia Beyond.

Thanks for all the other congratulatory persts, you are all too kind.
I would like to thank my Mum and Dad for making me possible.
I got shot once (x1) in the portside bumcheek when I was walking along a street in that there Norf Lundun with my then girlfriend, the lovely Lindsay.
It was apparently a .22 round.
I was invited by Inspector Knacker to explain what I had been doing to attract such attention. Eventually he decided it was the whim of some jolly japester in an upstairs window somewhere.
Amusingly, he informed me that the street I was shot in is called Shoot-Up Hill. It's still there I believe.
Then thirty years later I got stabbed once (x1) in the upper thigh by a rather unfortunately disturbed lady. That had a funny side but it's a bit involved.
I chiefly remember that I had been wearing a new pair of proper genuine American-made 501s for which I had paid $50 in that there San Francisco only a week beforehand and which I never saw again.
Splendid effort Glenners!
BTW I finished making my plough plane. It works!

In Higher Mathematics, it is a demonstrative example of what is known as a spikey Transform, a theoretical transposition that results in a consequential indirect series altered reality leading to a state of Infinite Triviality* * Otherwise known as Ewetopia, a place of an endless number of sheep to count before nodding off and wetting the bed.

Congrats to glenrobbo on his dotage postage! Marvellous stuff there sir.
I had a similar Bobbers experience in a pub fight many moons back,fella pulls a knife and my instant reaction was a ‘Glasgow kiss’. I got lucky really.
Normally it’s attack a gun and run from a knife I seem to recall.

First one was between some rugby fans, off duty firemen and the kickboxing club i belonged to at the time. I ended up going out through a door.
That one hurt a touch.
Second one, same pub, ended up with me breaking a bar stool over a guys head to stop him glassing a young guy during a fight.
It was not long after that one that i decided going out sucked and i'd rather be anit social. Although it didn't stop me visiting one of the bar maids but that is a whole other story and not one for pre watershed.

and now to bed, to dream
...but not of my youthful evenings spent drinking in some of Luton's more lively establishment, yes, the Luton brand of the Glasgow Rangers supporters club, I'm thinking of you
I remember grafting all hours at Looter Nairpaw back in the day. ...but not of my youthful evenings spent drinking in some of Luton's more lively establishment, yes, the Luton brand of the Glasgow Rangers supporters club, I'm thinking of you
"Ghosters" were common practise.
Thanks Bomma and a very good morning everyone.
A short cruise to Blighty this evening is todays target. Hopefully it will be uneventful.
Bobbers if you feel a wobble about 3am tomorrow morning then worry not! It’s just old Magoo adding weight to the already heavy uk. It’s only temporary.
Fout.
