Too hot for a cock sock down here. We're getting 27C temperatures here coming on a norwesterly from YM's place so it's jockstrap and jandals and stay in the shade nursing a frosty drink. Imagining me dressed like that will give off nightmares too. Anyway, I've finished polishing the propellors and By God but you've got to go fast to keep up with them. What's next? I could do galley work but I can only make omelletes and carrot cake with cream-cheese icing and walnuts (everyone gets one on their birthday).

Nor Westerly! Obviously from the West Island of NZ.
Are you sure TK that you got our propellers as the BP here is down to 15 psi and the TE can only make 5 RPM. Deck chairs and cardboard do not make much steam.
I look forward to carrot cake in May.

Cheese and onion omelette followed by carrot cake studded with walnuts looks like a half decent repertoire to me.

An omelette artiste will always be welcome but carrot cake is strictly for practical pranking.

I thought that urine tests measured distance and accuracy.

Keep the cardboard and deckchairs, kickstart the nuclear fission kit and let's go and tow Monte's Video closer to Blighty. It'll keep the Brits warm during winter. I went outside to do the test, but it's hot again and urine is exiting as steam through lace-holes on my jandals.

Ah calculus. The only time I have used it in the last 60 years was to prove that I still knew how to use it.

Are you using the ECDIS the wrong way up, by any chance?

I fear you will be towing the wrong way for the desired outcome. Unless the fission kit is modelled on the unmodified RBMK then you will only make Uruguay cooler and not us warmer.

Posted to NZ means it will go to New Caledonia or New Castle. No amount of Haka's will re-direct it.

It was a new bike, and if you see Varley with a new torch it may be my front light. eBay gum say it could take up to a year to get to NZ.

Last time I was on one of those things I was run over by a truck in Sembawang.

The bicycle clips are to improve the thermal performance of my corduroys - 8 degrees in the dining room this morning, brings new light to 'cold collation'.

Brightstar don't have a model that would be anything other than obscene if mounted fwd and might invite strange desires if mounted astern.

Goodly news, goodly news do I bring you today; espically any Marconi Sahibs'. Tomorrow BBC World Service is airing The Documentary at 09.30 about Morse Code current uses, indeed.

The Hon V can relive his formative years on GNUB by sitting on the sofa and having scrambled egg sandwiches, happy days.

Enjoy.

0930? I would get crumbs in the bed. I hope they make a repeat or Ampliation so that I may enjoy in front of where the cats would like the fire to be. Oh for a thermionic filled TV.

Crumbs should be ok Varley - they'll just roll downhill and gather in your navel. Although, the navel is normally reserved for holding salt whilst you eat chips in bed. Hang on, there's a courier at the door with a bike ...

The bike came to the wrong house - it's for the kids up the street. I hope you get yours back soon.
