You might have to put up with the London Parakeet Squatters too. Rumour is they like to see an open door.

Would the wife not like parakeets instead of budgies?

Well I decided to mow the lawns yesterday as it was a job to look out of the window !
After finding only stale petrol in the shed I dosed it with some octane boost and "result" the old mower started first pull.
What an exiting life I lead

Sorry to disappoint but oz wasn't doable this trip as I do still have a business to run, no probs with the ladyboys I will leave them to the sickos who like to find a meat and two veg surprize waiting for them but not for me thank you! I put stale petrol in my motor at weekend at least five years old and it ran lovely.

I finished rebuilding my engine, fitted it in the car with a fresh gearbox, PROP, exhaust and wired up . . . . knocked off at 1, then mowed the lawn.

swiftly followed by a bit of karting with Arthur, then a BBQ and beer!

I went Brands yesterday to witness Cliffs superb drive in his underpowered XJS to take third in class with Dave Howard romping away to overall victory
A good race to watch.

Yesterday was a "drinking up bin end" day. A wonderful white Bourgogne (burgundy in your language), followed by a 1997 Napanook (second wine of Dominus from the Napa Valley). Stunning. Then of into the cellar to have a good look in the deepest corners. I found an Armagnac the grapes of which were harvested when Queen Victoria was still alive. Think about that!

Jeez, sure as hell beats mowing the grass as a "household chore". Mind you, I must have been drinking "bin ends" to judge from the first pint pulled for me yesterday lunchtime.

I've had worse Bank Holiday Mondays, sat alongside the local canal supping local ale (from the new barrel) in the sunshine has a lot to recommend it and all the nicer for being a rare treat!

Iain was running in a 10k IIRC - how did it go mate? Get under that Fabulous Fifty mark?
