Pleased to see you've put the new poster out of his misery @Cliff Ton. He seemed to be suffering from unbearable itching. I was about to suggest Germoloids...

we could soon be seeing Roos and Wombats coming across the channel in little rubber dinghies 

Interesting fact. Did you know that Wombat poop is cube shaped?

[MRS B 546]

Looks a bit like an oxo cube, you’ll be revealing next that it’s used in stews.

Sad news from Malmo this morning, the Australian entry One Blood by Electric Fields did not make the final ten songs to go through to the final. Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest, what a bl**dy joke. Who cares anyway?

 

Thing is Oz, whether you like Eurovision or not..and I don't much..the Liverpool event, standing in for Ukraine last year..was judged a huge success by all. 

If I recall correctly, the first non European Country to participate in the contest, was Israel. Last time I looked..Israel was in North Africa..bordering Egypt, or in West Asia, bordering several other countries..non of which is in Europe. All somewhat odd.

It's a bit more complex than that and seems to be based on membership of the European Broadcasting Union, which has members from way beyond anything most would consider to be in Europe and which seems to have encountered increasing problems maintaining its 'non political' stance in recent years.

That there politics gets everywhere...

What did I miss?

[plantfit 7,661]

Up bright and early, off to the asda for 06.00 and back home for 07.10, lovely warm sunshine now so decided to give the tent a bit of an airing just in case we decide to have a few days in Wales later on, managed to put the tent up in about twenty minutes so not too bad, quite fancy a few days in Norfolk as well this year, we are off to Edinburgh for a fortnight as well this year plus the vintage/village shows with the old cycles so a busy summer ahead of us

 

Have a nice day all, catch you later

Another spam post, presumably from a Bot, using that strange English which seems to come from a malfunctioning translation app.

[Jill Sparrow 10,361]

He was just itching.... A lot!

We have a recipe for Wombat Stew. Take one Wombat, put in a large pan, fill it with water, put it over a fire and when the water is boiling add 1 medium sized rock. The Wombat will be ready to eat when the rock is soft. Alternatively take out the Wombat and eat the rock.

What a lovely day it has been, wall to wall blue sky and hardly any breeze, anyway gave the tent a good airing and now it's back in it's storage bag, had a trip to Newark a bit ago and the traffic was horrendous and I used mainly side roads and back streets so heaven knows what the A46 was like, I read that the 4.2 million pounds granted to Newark council to set up a new truck stop has been abandoned because the field they were going to use near the showground is too expensive so the council in their infinite wisdom are now going to spend the money doing up the castle, I suppose it makes sense to someone, anyroad hope you have all had a great day and not got too burned in the lovely sunshine

[Beekay 5,220]

So what are you planning to do Rog? Hire out your tent at Calais, to the highest bidder, complete with a jolly sea cruise.

[plantfit 7,661]

Hey I never thought of that youth, do you think anyone would take me up on the offer or do you think they'd prefer the hotels the government provide them with? ,,,,,,, let me think,,,,,,,I don't think they would, thinking about it I could rent it out to someone in Dublin I've heard they looking for accommodation

 

Rog

 

Good luck with the darts tomorrow night mate

 

[Beekay 5,220]

Cheers Rog., had a looksee at the list and I've got 18 players to keep in line. Will start at 6.00pm with a supper of hot dogs or jacket potatos ( with cheese, beans or both!). Will keep you posted.

There was a crash on the A46 bypass. We caught up with the jam at Kelham and managed to turn round in a gateway. Instead of Waitrose we finished up at Morrisons Netherfield!

[plantfit 7,661]

That would explain a lot Phil, everyone coming off the A46 at the Lord Ted island and going through Newark to get back on the A46 at the A1 roundabout and same the other way

What Beekay! That is far too posh. You should serve traditional darts match food. Black pudding sandwiches, cheese and onion cobs, and pickled eggs with several pints of bitter.

Some of our residents are far too refained for such things like that. I'm still trying to persuade them to try pie n chips with gravy. And I'm waiting for somebody to tell me what a 'cob' is. G'day Oz.

If you're from Nottingham and you don't know what a cob is, you should be ashamed of yourself!

Beekay, could you tempt them with a Pie Floater? This South Australian delicacy was often consumed after a night on the turps. It is a minced beef pie served upside down in a bowl of mushy peas, almost soup, often with tomato or brown sauce.

[Beekay 5,220]

Sounds delightful Oz. I'd kill for mushy peas, I love em. In fact if left to me, I'd have them every day.

Must admit though, your picture does'nt look very appetising.

Jill, just because I hail from Nottingham, it's no guarantee I'm aware with everything that went on. Been down yer 37 years and some people still can't understand me. But that's southerners for you.

[plantfit 7,661]

another nice day but at the moment I'm stuck indoors painting four doors in the hallway, just got the fiddly bits to do around the glass panes on the living room door now, all the others and the frames are done, another hour should see me finished then it's out on my bike for a ride around the lanes might call in at the shop in Bassingham for an ice cream, 

Enjoy your day everyone

@plantfit, hope you enjoyed your day and remembered to clean your paintbrushes. Not been a bad day at this end of the world. Our darts evening was well attended, with 18 contestants. I managed to get to the final but missed out because I could'nt get double bloody one! Never mind though, there's always next time. At least I got the runner up medal. I do enjoy running these evenings, like the quiz night also. Another treat tomorrow, our Covid shots.
