ExpoEM rarely disappoints Two Sheep Lane (you did say it was project double ewe) looks to be developing nicely. Adrian

Highly unlikely. Adrian

Informed opinion says that it is impossible to be exposed to too many Panniers. Adrian

Stranger things have happened. Adrian

Dear Mr. Boy. It seems that you are suffering from Chronic Pannier Deprivation Syndrome. This is an illness that seems to be spreading, but can easily be cured. There are many sources on line who can supply you with a pannier, which once you've had it delivered, you can lovingly gaze upon it, and indeed cherish it. However, do be wary of @MrWolf's rule of pannier ownership. Adrian

With or without the gremlins, it was a pleasure to see it in the flesh. Adrian

Another vote of thanks to Rob for organising an excellent show, and to Muz and co for running the catering. Adrian

You might think that ... Adrian

You clearly need to buy some, then you can keep an eye on them. Adrian

It seems that the Prince of Wales thinks that we ought to talk to sheep. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2024/04/25/prince-william-visits-birmingham-high-school/ I thought ewe would like to know that. Adrian

Rumour has it that hospitals think that cake is a Bad Thing. Adrian

That drags me back 30 years. I forget who the company was (they eventually ended up as part of Virgin), but they spent ages digging up all the pavements in the area putting in cable. At the time, I had a flat, so a group of us asked the freeholder if we could get connected up. He came back some time later and said no. We assumed that was because he couldn't work out how to make something out of it. I subsequently got talking to a colleague who's girlfriend worked for the company. It turned out that they had spent so much money on digging the road up, that they couldn't afford to make any complicated connections, which we would have been. Adrian

And the cake. Do not forget the cake. Adrian

Last year, our usual postie asked me to take in a parcel for next door. The resident genius had left a note on the door asking for parcels to be left in the recycling box. When he came around to collect it, I asked him why he thought it was a good idea. "I couldn't think of anywhere else" was the answer. Adrian

Just remember where the B Ark ended its journey. Adrian

Almost true. 40 years ago, the local council had the privilege of employing me. We had a parking area at work resurfaced, and there was more on the lorry than they needed. That evening, chatting to my father, he mentioned that someone had turned up late that afternoon with some spare tarmac, and did he want his parking area doing. Adrian

Presumably not to be confused with the neighbouring Wisbleat and Upwool. Adrian

So you're going for the toned down look this year. Adrian

Known as "Bangernomics" Adrian

Cruel, but often true. To be fair, the latest edition is advertising events that are still in the future. Adrian

Don't carp about it. Adrian

Usually less trouble than bears and hippos. Adrian

Heading into London last night, it looked as thought Dominique's London end was resting on the first pier after the canal span, so perhaps they've started moving it across for the next section. Adrian
