Fair point, and since you mention school , l wonder if Shakespeare is even part of the English curriculum these days ?
I've been telling my kids how 'cool' Shakespeare is since they were born. My 9-year-old drew a parallel between a situation we were talking about and one of Shakespeare's plays the other day. I was so proud (and surprised) I nearly fell off my chair. I'm still feeling smug nearly a week later!

I don't know why you're blaming me - it's not my fault you purchased a Ryanair ticket to London (Bristol) airport and they just diverted to the 'nearest'!

It's not even been opened in that time. Sat/stored in the dark, in sealed containers.
Maz's Son in Law an ex squaddie was given the job of returning fuel from an Army fuel store to the refinery once, a few of the 5 gallon cans 'might' have made it into his cars petrol tank whilst they were emptying thousands of these into the fuel bowser for transport to 'recycling'
The Car 'pinked' a bit with this old stuff in it but other than that it was OK

BTW they were at the job for months, 3 of em climbing up a ladder and pouring it into the top hatch of one bowser which then drove a couple of hundred miles to offload whilst they refilled the 'jerry cans' with fresh juice, affixed the wire seals and returned them to the secure storage,naturally this was all done well away from the buildings on the barracks and the fresh stuff had to be accounted for but the 'stale' fuel wasn't checked. His Sergeant was the one who instigated this caper, apparently it's a regular thing.

Had a bit of a kitchen morning, and have prepped everything for a plum crumble. All I need to do to it later is just throw the topping on top of the fruit and wang it in the oven when the Formula E race is done.

Anyway, it's lunchtime. There may well be sausage rolls on the agenda. :hyper:
Any left? If so break out the trebuchet and don't forget to account for the light south easterly breeze.

If not I may have to make some comment about watching the plum crumble being more interesting than Formula zzzzz
