NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The Super Monkey Car has been stolen!

The chap at the car fixing place just phoned. Normally he stores cars inside but, for some reason, he left two or three outside when he left yesterday. He went in today to move them inside, and the SMC had been stolen - CCTV shows two guys making off with it around half-four this morning

He's reported it stolen so now I'm waiting for the plod to get back to me

Oh, morning denizens BTW. Sunny out.

Hope it shows up.

Hope it shows up.

Still - good to know that near obsolete skills like hotwiring aren't being allowed to die out completely.

They always seem to work on the telly despite the reality that they haven't worked this millennium on anything modern.

Half the time there's no connection between the key switch and the starter other than software.

In other other non polleny news, lunch was indeed roast beef, as the chunk of meat extracted from the freezer yesterday did, in the end, turn out to be beef.

It was nice enough.

Tea/dinner was a couple of Morrisons individual cheese & chutney pork pies with Heinz baked beans on Morrisons seeded toast.

It was nice enough.

Followed by some stewed plums (Morrisons reduced, hard as billard balls thusly explaining the need for stewing) with custard.

Having used all the caster sugar left by Strangelove Mater, we are now on to icing sugar for the custard.

It's a bit fecking odd but tastes alright. Ish.

When that's done it'll be the demarara sugar that Strangelove Pater liked in his Blend 37 instant coffee.

This last has been here for at least 5 years.

I wonder what it'll make the custard look like.

Strangelove sis had her VW Golf nicked by scrotes back in 1989.

When located it had no doors, bonnet, or wheels.

One trusts that this will not transpire with the SMC.

Though it did transpire with my then mate's Escort estate.

Been out for a drive around some of the dodgier areas of this side of the city, including quite a few places I never knew existed and several routes that turned out to connect areas I didn't think were connected. No joy, but it was worth a try, I suppose

I believe the market for Ford Orion 1.6i Ghia Mk. II parts is fairly limited these days, so we can but hope

Bet they break it. At least that'll give you something to do, though

In other news, despite not being described in what passes for the user manual, the satellite receiver scans & finds stuff ok.

Not in a Freesat sort of way, but in a generic satellite box sort of way.

With a great list of a 1000 or so channels, many of which are regional duplicates.

How many BBC1s does one country need?

This evening's entertainment following the cold shower was the thing on 4 about George VI and D Day/Double Cross.

Which was interesting enough.

Now we've moved on to the Oak Island nutjobs who are in full on nutjob mode.

They've found a lead cross.

In Smith's Cove.

It's really really old.

Between 1200 and 1600.

Apparently.

Matching Templar carvings in France.
