Hows my day more like hows my month. It started off OK looking around a garden centre I saw a nice wooden arch and fancy trellis . That will go great on my decking so I purchased it . On placing it on the decking it made the decking look cr*p. so off to buy new decking. A lot of screws to take out and replace so I brought a new impact driver to make life easy. Old decking off only to find the frame underneath rotten so all old frame taken out new wood purchased. New holes dug and posts concreted in and new wooden frame installed all while having to move the summer house off the old decking. Ne

Cliff Ton here is the photo as requested, the pole in the picture belongs to my sons dog he comes through the gate in the top left of the fence which is my sons garden. He visits us every day, he carries the pole down to the back door, when he leaves he carries it back again, what is it with dogs and sticks? The summer house has never been used for its original purpose its is now used for storage, someone who will not be named wants to know why I need four sheds, all full of valuable stuff, well it is to me. Its a male thing.

I woke at 4.30 this morning after a dream about winning the Euromillions lottery. I checked my iPhone and there was a message saying ‘I had won a lottery prize’. I couldn’t log in at that time of morning so I went back to sleep dreaming about what I would do with the £35 million and all of the people I could make happy. I logged in again at 6am and my trembling hands revealed I’d won £2.40. I immediately put a £2 lucky dip on tonight’s lottery so I’m still 40p up and it’s all to play for.

Looks like the sort of place where Benjamin would be entertaining his lady friends!

After a tale like that, you'll have to post a photo of the end result so we can all admire your handiwork.

Ye gods, young Trogg. After reading your story, I felt the need to go and lie down in a darkened room. Can't do that, however, because I'm decorating! Yes, me too. I am aware that I can't do what I once did as quickly and easily as I once did it. Anno Domini, again.

Love the story Trogg. But it put me in mind of, and couldn't shift the idea of...Flanders and Swann, with their ditty, "When the gasman came to call". Or perhaps, "The wheelbarrow and bricks tale". Keep your driver charged pal, and stick to supervising your lad. !

My missus worked at Scampton....Kick-starting Lancasters.

Not Mucky Hucknall anymore, that’s dead posh!

Phil hope your dreams come true. love it when your first thought is how you can make other people happy and not how you would spend it on yourself.

Just goes to show I don't make up these ridiculous stories. If I win tonight I'll donate to the cat rescue of your choice.

We still haven't heard about the budgie and shed issue.

I should have said Hendon. I’ve been many times. There’s another superb and similar museum at Cosford. Newark’s not bad but on a much smaller scale.

I remember stopping to look at the Scampton Lancaster Gate guardian on a few occasions. I think it was taken to the RAF museum at Henlow.

Just heard that it's the 80th anniversary of WW2 Lancaster bomber of the Dambuster's raids. It had a flypast in Lincolnshire. There is no one left who was on the dambusters raid it has flown over 28 former bomber commander stations between 7 00 / 800pm to-day. On a Sunday many years ago my brother was stationed at Scamptom, the home of the Lanc (then the Red Arrows) well my brother went to see the sargent on the gate as at the time the old Lancaster sat at the entrance of Scamptom base. We had permission from the sergeant to have a look inside the Lancaster, well once insid

Could be worse ! You coulda been rendering sugar beet.

Everyone was a hero yesterday, it was clearly meant to be. Great credit has to go to Luke William's and Ryan Harley's tactics. Many times this season Notts have worn out teams by keeping the ball thus forcing the opposition to chase after it. Yesterday Cook had to substitute Dallas, Colclough and Dobra because they were all knackered. I would guess these three were also decent penalty takers but that's not to take anything away from Archie Mair's brilliant performance in the shoot out. I highlighted the inspired goalkeeper substitution in my earlier post. Luke knows an

County - Apart from the fifth minute goal it all happened in the last ten minutes of normal time, extra time and finally penalties to see the Magpies back in the EFL. They came back from the dead scoring in the 88th minute after the Spireites must have thought they had got it won. Goals for both sides in extra time saw the game decided in Notts favour by penalties. A just reward even though they finished in second place they were 23 points above third placed Chesterfield but in the end it came down to penalties, a terrible way to decide a match. Strangely the crowd was only 38,000, I thought t

It was written in the stars. Not at our best but what a performance. The goalkeeper substitution just before the penalty shootout was inspired but there's no doubt that was the plan and it was executed to perfection. Notts superior fitness paid back in spades. Chesterfield were dead on their feet at the end. Bad luck Chessie. Jason sorted it for us. Luke Williams is going to be up there with Sir Jimmy. We're back. COYP.

Couple of bits of trivia. When the king entered the abbey, he was preceded by the current (ninth) Duke of Wellington. The duke was wearing the exact same robes that were first worn over 200 years ago by his ancestor, the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley. And, as the representative of the government of Grenada approached the abbey, she was preceded by a non-commissioned officer in uniform carrying the Grenadian flag. He was saluted by every soldier there, even the Colonel at the entrance. None of the TV commentators seemed to notice anything about it.
