Brilliant pic. Gordon.

Wiring a bus, Gordon?

I think they are training us to be ready for when the Chinese are willing to buy more of our rubbish. I believe that there are fields full of plastic bales ready for that day.

Friday - my dustbin day. We carefully sort our rubbish into plastics/paper/garden refuse/domestic (making sure to wash any tins and jars) and fill the appropriate bags from the rolls supplied. From here the Council collect them and throw them all into the same compactor truck.

Gordon: Sorry to hear there is still a problem. Although the trees won't help, it's unlikely to be the cause. Suggest keep up contact with the BT lady in your life!

You've prompted the sun to come out here, Don - albeit with some brooding dark clouds on their way.

Very heavy rain here last night. The stream is within a foot of the top. Hope it gets away before the next time someone wrings out the oktas.

There seems a marked lack of Afghan gratitude this morning. Feel sorry for those lads' families.

"I am relieved to say that my "up and over" didn't result in me getting stuck in the drive chain" I think you'd have to be able to enter onto the roof of the car to do that. (An easy mistake to make if you are looking at a secretary or otherwise distracted).

I'd like to see the accident statistics for Paternosters. I can visualise someone leaving too early and tripping over the step up - perhaps leaving their legs in the lift.

Great Uncle broke his hip. Don't really know the circumstances as it was before my time. However, I do remember his very stout figure falling over, with his equally stout wife at a funeral. They somehow backed into and tripped over a curb around a grave and ended up sitting on the marble chips with their legs in the air. As I was about eight, I fully appreciated the humour of the situation and was chastised accordingly by parents who had trouble keeping a straight face. Perhaps Great Uncle was accident prone. Strange that I remember that incident clearly but can't remember whose funeral it was. So my main memory of him was putting the Fun into Funeral - can't be a bad thing.

I had a great uncle who stepped into a paternoster that wasn't there.

"I think Andy might object if we experiment too much with the thanks box" He'll box your ears.

"I guess a few days in the sun would do us all the world of good" No jokes - you never said a truer word, Gordon. Unfortunately circumstances don't permit a couple of weeks absence at present ... if the situation changes I'll be off like a rocket.

"I've found the carpet in one small section" That would be a carpet tile.

Rosemary Clooney perhaps.

Just going by your pic. Mick. You bear a resemblance to a Welsh Rowan chap of my acquaintance.

Is Mick the Archbishop of Canterbury?

Good morning to all of good cheer. Pumkins, Fireworks, We Three Men - another year nearly over.

I think you have to give full details to make sure you have similar interests, don't snore etc. Just passed 700 hits on my dog's breakfast of a website. I keep meaning to improve it.

Treble the number of puns with one arrangement.

"you should have posted that in the piano factory thread" I've not yet sampled the murky waters outside of ERs. Don't want to break anything. I'll just string along here for now.

To find the key to the Lost chord in the piano factory would be something of note.

Gralloch Oysters are too deer for our household budget to have more than once a week.
