This is what's needed:

 

 

 

Otherwise known around these parts as bungole.

Seems the lpg is a bit erratic at the mo, feels like it's running out when I know there's plenty there

Think the vaporizer needs a good de-gunking

I'll be there 1 way or another as long as it's not snowed off ☺

[chaseracer]

The AS Midlands Massiv is NEVER snowed off, Andy - not when there are bacon sandwiches and OMFG_OKSHUN_DEATHBURGERS to be had.

 

 

[andy18s]

To save me going thru 37 pages on my phone, what's the name of the cafe?

[dollywobbler]

My attendance could be snowed off though. Around here, if there's loads of snow, it's just not worth risking the trip. A fair dollop is forecast, but as I've discovered this week (especially right now) forecasts can be rubbish.

[dugong]

What's the plan then chaps?

 

Hollies at 9.30?

According to the weather forecasts, I didn't stand the ghost of a chance to make it to Salzburg and back alive.

In reality, I couldn't have had idealer weather conditions, and sat on my late Grandma's patio with a t-shirt, while according to the weather forecast,

there should have been a hurricane.

 

The BBC weather forecast is one of the few things I still religiously watch on telly when I have a chance. It's my daily dose of pure, unadulterated surrealism.

 

Have you ever noticed, that they spend a third of the 90 second slot they have available with telling you what the weather was like earlier that day?

I have reached an age, where I have a pathetic appreciation for being reminded what the weather was like this morning.

Then they tell you what they think the weather will be like, and in spite of living in the most ambient area on what is essentially a hostile planet, they always

predict that you are going to lose all your possessions in some kind of climatic catastrophe and end up being a shivering wreck. However, this message is

conveyed with an intonation completely out of tune with its content, and in front of a map showing Britain as a desert in a swimming pool turquoise sea,

dotted with the most meaningless places they could find, along the lines of Milton Keynes, Husbands Bosworth, Stornoway, etc., but no Manchester,

Glasgow, Birmingham, let alone Dublin, Paris, Brussels, or Amsterdam. They then close with providing you with the dress code for the day.

Fantastic.

 

In fact, my dream job is to be responsible for it.

Sod the weather as such, I can give you a weather forecast for Britain for the next 1,000 years, but I would bring the presentation to hitherto unseen levels of

a visual and audio experience.

 

BTT: I probably won't make it this time. I'm expecting a set of new carburetters for the possessed Rover to arrive and would like to install them to finally transform

Stockport into the crater it deserves to be.

[dollywobbler]

You may have a point. I prefer playing the different weather websites against each other. Accuweather wins today. Predicted sunshine at 2pm, when our wood delivery arrived, and it wasn't wrong! Didn't predict the monster hailstorm an hour later though...

[dugong]

So, are we arriving at the Hollies for 9.30 on Saturday or not?

[Junkman]

No, we are not...

[Inspector Morose]

Yes.

[dollywobbler]

Maybe. Has that cleared it up?

[dugong]

Dunno, can I buy a coffee for weigh in money?

[Pillock]

Wait an hour and you can probably buy a Rover 75 for weigh-in money.

 

Is the hollies the usual one?

[Pillock]

 

 

This is disappointing. We will miss the cheerful chap.

 

 

This, OTOH, is truly excellent news!

 

I didn't know if spouses were welcome. But then this is the woman that, as a child, had a desk chair made from a Lada Riva passenger seat, and gets all giddy at the sound of a Scania V8. Plus I'm not telling her she can't!

[dugong]

"Hello, are you Mrs Pillock?"

 

*receives slap*

[dollywobbler]

Good job Mrs Wobbler isn't planning to come then! However, it looks like the snow might not be a problem. So, XM or 2CV?

[dollywobbler]

Is there a fee to get into the auction?

[chaseracer]

Nope.

[dollywobbler]

The best things, in life are free. Jolly good.

[Pillock]

I'd love to see them try to charge to stand in a shed whilst some doddery old fool mistakes a Corsa for an Iveco Turbodaily and the local rat population declines with each burger sold.

 

I do wonder at which point we'll outnumber real punters and someone realises we're only there for a laugh.

[Inspector Morose]

Shhh!

[Pillock]

So where we at? Road King is the one I think I go to normally - white building? Is this AKA The Hollys or is that a different one?

[chaseracer]

Yes.

[Inspector Morose]

Single word answers.

 

It's catching.

[chaseracer]

Maybe!

[Inspector Morose]

I as shall be bringing a deposit.

 

I feel lucky

 

Punk.

[andy18s]

You need a deposit for a burger?

[chaseracer]

You'll certainly make one later...
