There's no place like home

THis is annual kids' birthday bash so old farts sod off somewhere weekend. Saw that balloon festival last year. Fascinating - not. Bristol round Filton area was so crowded we were unable to move our car lest there would have been not a single place to park within a 2m radius. AND the Banksy exhibition had two hour queques. Wish the rest of the populace would grasp than when xoggoth/missus make plans they should all sod off and not get in our way.

It's just a bunch of round things drifting along for god's sake. Might be more interesting of you are in one. I wanted to buy a ballon trip for missus on her 60th but they said I would have to hire three of them to carry her.

PS I am still only 32 myself.

PPS And I don't have "grandkids" I hate old people.

Good luck with that. He owes me a pint and all of a sudden he's developed short arm syndrome!

The pint has been waiting. You chose a caravan holiday instead though.
May have to drink it for you at this rate................

When you likely to be claiming it anyways?

The counting thread.................good god alive!!

12 pints of zider with Shaunbhoy in Yeovil , and I will float back to the farmhouse like a dirigable

tulip, I bet I could get people to book flights on me. 'Roll up for a flight on the EO nightglow special. no smoking please.'

Taking the grandkids to the SW tomorrow, to stay on a farm for a week. Next Thursday is the big balloon festival at Bristol, and I have been looking forward to seeing this for a couple of years


Up up, and away

The balloons are great, but can get a bit boring after the first 5 minutes IMO. There's a Red Arrow display on last day of the event (Sunday). Best part IMO are the mass assents, on the occasions when the balloons land on the downs. Quite funny as well. Assuming they miss the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

It's not the word I just blurted out.

Dullard.

Up all night working on that were we bandywaister?
For you, it is a quantum leap forward anyway. Well done!

[EternalOptimist]

it's an English phrase. 'I'll eat my hat'
it means, the chances are so good that I will bet a lot on it.

The Russian equivilent would be 'zis is so certainski, zat if eet dsntt vork, I vill neffer touch vodka or skwerls againski'

Is this little sojourn likely to spawn any more interesting tales then EO?

it's the way I tell em.

In september, me and the missus fly into SanDiego. Then we drive to Yellowstone, then North.
Through Canada (BC) then into Alaska. Across to Anchorage .
Then back to Seattle.

If that doesnt generate a chapter for my book, I'll eat my wifes hat. because I havnt got one.
