after all the years of suffering being called a miserable old bar-steward by mrs zz , I am finally rejoicing that she has come round to my way of thinking. the source of this wonderment?... a newly found joint loathing of the foul phenomenon of otherwise seemingly intelligent individuals starting a sentence with the word "so"!!!! if you have been asked , "how do you propose to re-attach that button"? , or , "what method would you use to distribute seed in your garden" , fair enough but otherwise , nooooooooooo! other current hot favourites are "yoofs" with their kecks hanging out the top of their trousers and newly qualified drivers with a green p plate (clearly designating pillock) who refuse to commit to crossing a roundabout without having received a written invitation at least a fortnight in advance! what gets your hackles up?

I have decided that I am about to join this Society. I already anticipate that the majority of my posts will be deleated by administrators for political or religious reasons. I have already threatened "her indoors" that I will become a "Facebook" member. And she.(who is a facebook member) Who believes she is she must be obeyed promisses that she will leave if I do so. So whoopee here is step one. Administrators beware and watch this space. BRYAN B.

My wife dragged me out into the sun today to find out what bowls was all about. A couple of our friends indulge.

We indulged for about twenty minutes before I decided that painting the ceiling and watching it dry was about twice as exciting and three times as satisfying. Not only do you have to roll balls about in the sunshine but you have to wear these white clothes and special footware. Life is too short. Give me stuff the moves above snail pace.

To do this I missed the GP and all the excitement of two Mercs colliding!!


At least I got an ice cream!

Hi
Come on Gus what about the sun tan 😎
Hi Guszzz, I watched the opening of the race. IT MADE MY DAY. Two overpaid clowns in over priced German Taxies wrecked each other. You missed a real treat.
It inspired me to go down into my "CAVE" and retreive a couple of bottles of some crappy French wine and indulge myself before mounting my ride on mower and blasting hell out of grass and French Dandilions growing all around my CHEATAU . The French name for a massive load of aincent carp buildings.

I don't need a suntan. Ronnie does the garden, I'm an indoors man. Work to the house and track etc. My delicate lily white skin suffers beneath that round yellow hot thing. Quite why I decided to live down here I just don't know, what was wrong with Siberia anyway?

Mowin' the grass on a sunday afternoon!! I'll tell your Mairie about you!

Was fun though. Watched the coming together on-line. Nice that an 18 kid (who is going on 70) won the race - oh sorry....a bit off base for this thread. I thought it was terrible and what is the world coming to etc when a snot nosed kid blah blah.......

I HATE F1.... but that was the funniest thing I have seen for ages , I was waiting for the two mardy sods to start beehatch slapping each other in the gravel trap... now that would have made my week!!
I don't hate it but I no longer feel I'm missing too much if I don't see a race. Certainly most of the fun seems to have gone out of it. Too much money, big business and egos these days.

It wasn't like that in my day I can tell you!

had a class conversation with my mum earlier about f1..(she gave up on it years ago too) , I'd not heard but apparently certain parties are worried about hamilton turning into james hunt. I roared with laughter and was outraged at the same time... not sure hamilton could spell "playboy" , let alone be a world class one , he'd be too busy preening to go pulling! I do feel sad for kids not having the same hero's I did as a kid..hunt & sheene!
Never had any hero's! But I used to like Graham Hill when all my mates were Clark fans. Proper stiff upper lip Englishman! Probably waxed the moustache!

It's easy for us old gits to dislike people like Hamilton because he fits in with this self regarding mind set that seems to prevail. Constant selfies for gawds sake. Appearance is all. Bah humbug!

We have a mirror in the house somewhere but I'm not sure where it's hidden. Don't really want the fright.

Hi Gordonzz, Yeh, I waited with anticipation for that sequence.but they didnt show it. I wondered if they would drop canisters down through the roof when they all went upstairs into the bunkers, but they didnt show that either,

all you would have heard is the sloppy sound of bottom lips being dragged across the floor.
been saving them up!

1:32... as far as I am concerned it is the only scale for a slot car..but boy what a rubbish choice when it comes to variety. 1:24 has some amazing kits to convert and 1:43 has even more choice in wonderfully detailed diecasts. grrrrrrrr!!

things that beep at you... the car..the fridge..the washing machine...the dishwasher...everything has a beeping beep these days. I know the car door is open , there is a big draught. I know the fridge door is open , there is a cold draught , I know the washing machine has finished , its stopped going around. I know the dishwasher has done....'coz the mrs is emptying it!!!

upselling... my current bugbear. the worst culprit is sports direct , you eventually get to the checkout (they are so slow because of upselling) and you try to pay for , lets say , a pair of socks and leave. NO ,I don't want a £5 "bag for life" the size of Norfolk...or a drinks bottle ...or a whatever!! just take my money and let me go!!

QUOTE things that beep at you.. I noticed during my visit to the UK that there were several machines that aaarrrk aaarrrk aaarrrk aaarrrked at you.
Reversing ones too and those electric carts at the airport aaarrrk aaarrrk aaarrrk aaarrrk bit like a sick frog

Here we have the dignified high pitched and slow reversing beep beep beep.
