      What Brinkly needs is for this poor benighted country to go back to the early 1970s, when there really was a three-day weekend....

    3. DonB

      DonB

      Or indeed a 3-day week with 4-day weekends, I remember it well! Nightmare trying to operate a process that required 24 continuous production!

      hahah! Yeah Tim hours and minutes are always a place for confusion! 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, but 24 hours in a day, explain that to a 4 yearold before you even go down the route of 1/4, 1/2 and 1/4 too!

  2. Now I've got a brand new Combine Harvester and I'll give you the key!

      Whoa there, Horse - calm down!! I know our Brinkly has been described as a handsome fellow, but I wouldn't go quite so far as to describe him as a 'fine-lookin' woman'...!!

      Just ask her not to bring any ginger cake!

       

      By the way, did you know that all your responses to these thingeys are coming up twice at the moment?

  4. Sure we'll invite the whole county, call it marital diplomacy. Salmon as best man, David Cameron & Ed Miliband as brides maids! (Michael Collins Adaption!)

  8. Feels that working in a lunatic asylum would be better than the school he is currently at!

      Some of the teachers in the school that backs on to our house should be in a lunatic asylum, let alone the pupils.

      I had a maths teacher who was an alcoholic.

      I wish to protest on behalf of all my fellow lunatics about the the lowering of the standard at which our status is defined, besides its crammed enough in here without gratuitous infiltration.

  9. Just watched a cracking game of rugby! Amazing play by England. Well done Eddie, what a brilliant job you have done!

      I use the Barons method. I always work from the Vee outwards too. As 3-Link says, first time is never perfect, but it's very rewarding when you do get it right!!!

  13. As SPECTRE has already been taken by the name of an evil organisation, I'm tempted with SCALEFOUR!

      I think SCALEFOUR sounds quite evil, perhaps that's why I joined!? ;-P

      Best not to ask what it cost to make - Alan Yentob gets very upset if you ask searching questions.

      Seems they might also have been late getting there.

       

      I wonder if any of them were feeling hungry?

       

      (On second thoughts, probably best not to ask that ... .)

      Don't forget them sausages.

    3. Captain Kernow

      Sausage pie may be a good compromise in the ages-old battle between the battalions of sausages and the pork pie army

      Baaaaah! The pork chops will see us through!

      Yes, I bet it is rather nice! Dad makes home made tomato chutney that is rather nice, but it's all gone!

      If you have to buy it, Baxter's Victorian is pretty good.

    4. Brinkly

      Home made as Paul said is the best by a mile, but I'll settle for Baxter's if nothing else is about!
