Gus stop thinking my thoughts!

Landies are fun to drive - especially with blue light and two tone horns

I once had a near miss of a Renault 4 with 4 nuns aboard though

Let me guess: they nearly rammed you? Nuns are very often the worst drivers: their faith that the Good Lord will look after them is terrifying.

Given that we haven’t been, and won’t be for some time, able to meet up with the Embra contingent, we decided that we’d parcel up their pressies and post them off. I had suggested performing a feasibility study, but Mr Bee wozz happy that there would be nowt to it. He parcelled everything up and then weighed and measured each parcel. We then checked the various parcel carriers’ rools and we can’t send either fragrance or booze. Bother.

It is hailing, cold and grim. I have poured us both an Oloroso.

‘Bother’ is putting it pretty mildly, imo. But Oloroso is a good plan; it is also an anagram of Rooools ;- )

Why - so it is! Must be why it has quite hit the spot, Gus.

I was driving my Landie in the approved manner past a place which posed danger of rpg fire so at 90mph

I was just starting to slow (Tangis slow like supertankers) so imagine my chagrin when the nun mobile emerged about 30 feet in front of me and proceeded to not accelerate

I yelled HANG ON BOYS! and hauled the steering wheel so I ended up on the pavement with the blue light kissing a road sign

Imagine the headlines

4 nuns leaving the local monastery killed by RUC officer on the Falls Road…

For the USAF at least it’s documented why they did it: one particular general found the sight of two sets of trousered legs dancing together desperately offensive. I’m sure he wasn’t suppressing anything.

Apparently it was simpler for Rover just to transplant the civvy dashboard during that upgrade (the same one that took out the bench seats to make the things a bit more crash-survivable). They did their best to stop the heating working, the way it should, but didn’t quite manage it.

In the “correct” papers: “A good start!”

Zz snerk but surely men should confine the sense within the limits of duty in respect to things divine, while not falling in the opposite error which would be to think that inquisition of nature is forbidden by divine law buggrit where’s me gin?

On mumsnet, the assumption is that a poster claiming to have laughed sufficiently heartily to startle the cat is lying.
I am not lying. Mind you, I am also not currently on mumsnet.

The cat was very definitely startled.
