A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

A company I used to work for introduced a management information system which it called MiMi. A year or two later it introduced FiFi, a financial information system.

 

I caused a stir at a very important meeting by saying how much I had enjoyed having MiMi on my desk and was now looking forward to having FiFi as well.

 

My late first wife Deb once worked with a system called OATS, which was good for a few giggles. It was British Transport Advertising's space reservation system.

Robin, what did you buy at the show yesterday?

I bet he bought stuff.

The nation holds it breath......

[colin penfold]

I bet he bought stuff.

And things

[bgman]

I can't believe no one has asked what I bought yesterday yet.....

Not too long as it's p***ing down and I won't go up to the railway room in it. All I'll say is I'm talking bauxite, as usual.

Don't buy any 7mm stuff or things until you have attended the ANTB 7mm gathering and holiday at 36A, (no sniggering ) next year. Accommodation can be arranged and special facilities for washing.

Don't all rush at once.

Somewhere it is warm and dry now he has retired. Hopefully.

Perhaps Robin, was too busy taking photos of Bewdley (Model) to invest in much?

Apparently your secretary has thrown a wobbly, as you were suppose to sign the LDR36001 form before releasing that information - it could end up with you being removed as Grand Inquisitor and thrown in the Iron Bullied

Do I care.

Do I care.

 

You should, unless you like being dragged out of bed in the middle of the night by men in black robes (the MiM's Black Op's division), transported to an undisclosed location (by unmarked van/plane/boat/spaceship) - then spread eagled over the top of a hot Air-Smoothed casing for several weeks and then deposited in the middle of the Antarctic in your underwear with only Penguins for company...

Well that's me out of it, I think I've renamed over 110 Hornby Wiltons alone in my time, plus lots of other Spams and those 'Bulleid/BR Standard abomination' things. I'll have to get my Antarctic break another way ...

110 Wilton's? That get's you a free straight jacket and padded cell on South Georgia for 9 and a half weeks and as much fish as you can eat raw and alive without using your hands....
