Grandad cycling past with a child seat on the back containing his grandaughter one assumes

Grandaughter: To a rhythm, thumped out on the back of Grandad with both hands "Are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet"
Grandad: Are we there yet?
Grandaughter: "Are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet"

And repeat until it faded up the road. Fair brought a smile to my face.

This morning the alarm rang and I sat up

TVC: no it is the 7am alarm you still have another hour yet
ME: oh. So I snuggled back down again.

It it's a beautiful summers day. Not hot but bright and virtually cloudless. A man with Labrador is walking by and the birds are twittering away in the trees. There is a tantalising waft of meat cooking coming from the smokehouse over the road and the beer tastes fine. The journey up was great and the hotel is perfect. Tomorrow I'll get on a train again and head further north hoping that the beer and food are equally as good and the weather clement. I remember that this time next week I'll be back in work and say to myself:

"Some people are missing the point of this thread"

Artic Driver "what are you shaking your head for you c*nt?"
Me "You're in charge of several tons of lethal vehicle with a phone glued to your ear. We may need to review our definition of a c*nt."
AD " The f*ck's it got to do with you?"
Me " You're in a queue of traffic outside a police station and I've just walked out of it. I'll leave you to work it out. Bye."

Banter, preferably sarcastic, between colleagues is a wonderful thing...
Colleague (he'd been taking the mickey out of me and was going to use one thing in his favour to back it up)..
Colleague...
'Well, there's one good thing about me.....'
Before he could continue, i butted in...
'Well i'm struggling to think WHAT that might be'

Dear Old Deaf Demented Dad hit a jackpot today.

DODDD: Oh Ganymede, something rather wonderful happened, I opened my mouth and.... (gets confused) oh god, I'm going to get this wrong. Missus, what was it that happened?
Mum (from next room) "if music...."
DODDD: Oh yes, I opened my mouth and it just came out, I was getting your Mum some tea.
Me: What came out?
DODDD (with total fluency and expression):

"If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before."

Me: :ohmy:^_^:bravo:

'ARE YOU OK ?' :ohmy: I shouted..
'YEAH, I'M OK'
'ANY KIDS WITH YOU ?
'NO, JUST ME'
'NEED AN AMBULANCE ?'
'NO, SERIOUSLY, I'M OK'

Its slightly damp on the roads, its just drizzled. I'm negotiating a 90 degree right hand rural bend in my car, about 200 yards further on I will reach another 90 degree bend. I see an oncoming car at the bend, its too fast (not massively so) its ON the bend, its rearing up as it hits the verges, sideways slightly...then it disappears down a ditch.
'FCUK'....I get there as quickly as possible, shove the car in a farm entrance right next to the now upturned car, 6ft down in the ditch. Luckily water (filthy stagnant stuff) is just at the roofline. A hand is flapping round inside, the driver struggling to get the door open. I open the door, its upside down of course but it only opens about 9 inches....i push my foot against the sill which is now skyward and lever the door open as the driver struggles out.
He's out....he's ok.
Got the shakes ?' I ask.
No..well a bit, he's remarkably calm...a nice clean cut young fella just approached a damp bend a bit too fast. Inexperience ?, distracted ? who knows.
Lift offered, he's got his mobile, he's ok...on my way with a thanks from him. I climbed back in my car...I stink, of stagnant water :whistle:, my boots are filthy.

That's the 3rd car to fail that bend in 2 months :wacko:

he could write a good line or two that chappie..
..... I rather like the ending though "I'll have my revenge on the whole pack of you" - if that's not setting up for a sequel I don't know what is. Maybe it'll turn up in a cupboard somewhere, just like Web of Fear.

It's quite a disturbing close to a comedy. I've played Olivia a couple of times and even on stage I feel unsettled by it!

I'm meeting up with some fellow pick up truck planet murderers today for lunch, so lots of quotes about freewheeling hubs, eating puppies and hiding bodies in the woods are expected.
