Morning all. Just seen this on the local news. It's *awful*

New Flash: Government sources are confirming this morning that levels of Prosecco in the Essex area are now critically low, and cannot be sustained much beyond lunchtime. The sudden shortage is thought to have been caused when a private birthday part at a house in Harlow was advertised on Facebook, and targeted by a splinter group of the notorious on line collective known only as Sportsmaserati.com. It is thought that group turned up in exquisite sports cars, parked at a jaunty angle and amused all the neighbours with a V8 symphony, before drinking all the Prosecco that could be located. Locals report that they feared the situation could have become 'messy' but for the discovery of hidden supplies of DiSarono, a known weakness of the ringleaders of the group. Local publicans are attempting to local supplies of Prosecco from the home counties, but it is feared that the shortage may well increase prices of a middle class Sunday lunch to levels not seen since Brexit.
Members of the public are informed that they can recognise the miscreants by their exquisite taste in vehicles, amazing good looks and incredible sense of humour. The public should approach them at any opportunity. News Flash ends.

Have a great day ;)

When I gave my months notice in with Maserati they asked me to leave the same day which I happily did.

I wanted to as ill spend August with Thalia then start new job September but they wanted me to finish the month off so hey, i will.
Their loss in the long run, i can see him making me an offer either last minute to stay or later on in the year, either way the answer will be "No"!

Thanks for the heads up C, thankfully we are well stocked with Pimms so should be able to ride this one out with some added Tawny Port on the rack...

That's a relief, chap. There is definitely a feeling of unrest in the streets of Harlow. Early reports are that the Splinters went back to their hotel, but the calming effects of the Di Sarono had worn off during the walk. So they had another bottle at the hotel......

It's supplies of paracetamol that will be strained this morning...

Have confirmation that at least one of them is still alive though.

Morning all,

Happy Yorkshire Day. Sun is out and shining down on God's own county this morning.

Just the one call this afternoon and that's it. Might take a trip to the coast later.

Good morning everyone!

Pretty sleepy today, but the weekend at Silverstone was good.

I was highly amused by one of my neighbours on my return as Myfanwy was making her appropriate amount of noise getting back to my house... The mother of some children outside called out "Oh, they wanted to see your Mustang!" referring to my friend's BOSS 302.
Now, that car, when Chris is using his red key (track only) is definitely ASBO (lovely open side pipes). I was very pleased on the way home that I couldn't hear his car in front of me over my own exhaust note, and with my roof down. It's the first time we've had these two cars together and in my previous 4200 I'd definitely hear him.

Well, a busy day ahead in the office, so I'd better make some tea.

HapPea Monday!

Morning all, hopefully almost a full week sat at my home desk catching up with everything... I will have one day on the road and I really want to change the air con condenser and water trap on the 156 so I have working air con for Brunty as it will naturally be blisteringly hot as ever! Pursuing suitable motors for my post lift at the moment and I have found a dual voltage option is available despite not being shown on any of their paperwork!

Just had a fairly humbling chat with next door who's wife was carted off in an ambulance on Saturday, not a good prospect there unfortunately as the heart failure is a side effect of her chemo!

Have fun all...

Another day in the office today. Not much apart from getting ready for Brunty, mentally if nothing else yet.

Have a great day, all
