@19syllables It was the summer I was about to go up to big school. All of us primary school kids were dressed in green and gold for reasons which escape me now. At the village barbecue that night my Dad permitted me my first beer which I hated. as he knew I would. That hatred didn't last!

[Monk @Badmmason]

@19syllables Yes, I need to find a way to do something similar.

[Monk @Badmmason]

@k_tt_n A bit more clumsy my clumsy bastard good hand 😊

@19syllables In our case the party is in our garden for want of a better place; they weren't allowed to close the road. We'll have fun. As you say people deserve some company and a party but I know I'm going to have to bite my tongue.

[Monk @Badmmason]

@19syllables As ever, you express these things so well. I am so torn between a love of where I am from, and have served for a career, and despising the plastic flag waving and little Englishness. I call it patriotic dissent but that gets nowhere near it.

@NaughtyTeaOwl Don't touch my eyes with the Facebook

@BibulousOne On the way home from a long motorbike ride I stopped at an unfamiliar petrol station. Tired and distracted I put 4 litres of diesel in it before I realised. So that was my Sunday. Monday is waiting on the delivery of a Jerry can to drain it off.

[Monk @Badmmason]

@k_tt_n That's horrible. Hope you can get it sorted somehow X

[Monk @Badmmason]

@19syllables Tinkering and fettling.

The water is off in my street. Oh well, Lagavulin 16 it is then.

@vivibene1 @Reminder_8 Spot on.

[Monk @Badmmason]

@_Embo Another helping Auntie?

[Monk @Badmmason]

@19syllables I have a motorbike playlist which is deliberately not too upbeat because the bike can hear it and I don't want it going too fast!

[Monk @Badmmason]

@NaughtyTeaOwl 56 and only 5 times maybe. The only specific time I remember was when I got a cut rowing in a river and my leg swelled like a balloon. Definitely not a routine prescription which is good.

@SarahSurgey1 Just trot the cow through a warm kitchen.

[Monk @Badmmason]

@vivibene1 And looking damn fine on it!

[Monk @Badmmason]

@NaughtyTeaOwl I loved it 30 odd years ago. I might reread it, see if it stands the test of time.

@salemmohalesh75 Bunking off or skiving.

@poweredbymeows Don’t leave us hanging! What’s the denouement? Do you get out or is it the walk of shame in the same dress tomorrow ?

[Monk @Badmmason]

@mattcoyney Yes we all do as Ron does (every street has a Ron). I think he's playing mind games now though. He'll do a quick feint with the blue bin and then swap it for the green when we've followed suit, the bastard.
