Slender wrists and long fingers?

Put him on the table and the surgeon jumped on his tum. One of the nurses acted as wicket keeper....

Getting in some supplies after visiting a model railway exhibition?

Visit English Heritage sites. I've found that they have less in the way of written material than the National Trust!

On one visit to Chirk, there was an English Civil War group* doing a battle in the meadow at the foot of the castle, with skirmishes around the gatehouse. After the battle, the "losing" side were marched up into the courtyard and executed by firing squad. I hope you're not sitting** where that occured! * No idea which bunch it was... ** As you enter the courtyard it was the wall of the house on the right.

GRONE..... Ok, so the surgeon was following instructions on u-toob?

Its a long time since I've used Wrights Coal Tar soap, does it still have the same gorgeous smell, even though it doesn't actually contain coal tar any more? And I'm not even "asking for a friend"! 🤪

Come again, sweet love doth now invite - John Dowland

I think there's one already....

They're the Paps of Scilla*.... 😃 * But not "Our Cilla"!

Is that what happens when the airbags go off?

Its been "interfered with", the fuel tanks have been cut off, no one with an interest in originality would want it. But you can't second-guess ebay bidders! It went for 30 quid. Spares or repairs?

The poor pooch looks elderly. I'd suggest a vibrant Orange.

At least it would put an end to HGV leapfrog contests! 🤪

You forgot Spam, Spam, Spam, fried eggs and Spam... 🙂

Airfix water tank and turntable? 🤔

My bedside Alexa, the sort with a clock display, did its own reset yesterday morning. I was just idly watching the time when the clock went off, the blue ring circled for some minutes, the clock displayed "Hello" and then the clock came back on. Odd!

Like A Prayer - Madonna

Its been nearly a quarter of a century, I wonder if he's still trying... 🤔

I believe that the spies we had turned were allowed to see them so that they could report back to their former masters...

I'm afraid my comment came from a very vague recollection of the page about steam coaches in the Ladybird book "The Story of the Motor Car" (1962) My copy is very battered but I still have it, and can say that it reported that road steam carriages were actually penalised by the stage coach operators and, gasp, the RAILWAYS! The act, as well as introducing the Red Flag (to be carried 60 yards ahead of the offending vehicle), also imposed speed limits of 2mph in towns and 4mph on the open road. So the steam coach was killed by the 1865 act but its clear that there was opposition in some quarters as far back as the 1820s.

It was said that the motto of the Liverpool City Council Planning Department was "Completing what the Luftwaffe left undone". They did an amazingly good job of it, if you thought that it needed to be done....

Wheeeeee!!!!!! Found the oven instruction book and set its clock to BST!

Probably trying to exorcise the ECU, before calling the AA...

I learned all I needed to know about elm in History, and was nothing to do with rot, but more in HH territory*... Mea culpa... I confused yew with elm**, yew is indeed used to perforate distant naughty people, but I did know about elm and its rotproof qualities in a historical context, it was used as the bottom boards of narrowboats. * its use in 6ft poles to shoot sharp pointy sticks at other people with extreme rapidity. ** "Tree, three letters, contains the letter 'e'...
