Lovely weather, drinking an ice cold Bath Ale in the garden

[hyperD]

What could possibly destroy the tranquillity?

Oh I know:-

1. A police helicopter circling above for the last two hours, no doubt looking for Julian Assange.

2. My neighbour's grand-kids, the spawn of Beelzebub himself that have leapt out from the Gates of Hades and are now screaming and wailing at the top of their voices while their misguided parents offer platitudes along the lines of "prizes for all". Just to complete the Satanic picture, their names are Isaac, Jacob and Caleb or something

3. An orchestra of two-stroke lawn mowers recreating the score of Wagner's Ritt der Walküren with abnormal gusto

4. Food outlets appear to be devoid of fresh lobster.


I've a good mind to gaffer tape the throttle on the Ninja and let her run at 18,000 rpm with the Akrapovics screaming until the fuel tank empties...or explodes...

I need a bigger plot of land...or my own island...

Get yourself another cold one out of the fridge.

Grab a cigar.

Feck 'em.

Could be worse - they could have given the three year old granddaughter a recorder to play with.

It worked! Thanks Pondy, it appears the blessed water has exorcised the imps back to whence they came.

Or I've suddenly lost my hearing...!

Seen a pair of Spitfires and what looked like a Spitfire and a ME109 heading in formation Westwards over Kent

Must be an Air show on somewhere

Could be worse. You could have driven to Cornwall to find it pissing down. FFS!

Although I dunno if it's two stroke. Or what that means.

I bet they've all got "food intolerances" of kinds hitherto unknown to medical science, too

Let me rephrase that. You could have driven to Cornwall to a farm to be woken up to thunder, lightening, pissing rain and a flooded landscape and then check your home address to see its having a heat wave!!!!
