How weird can you get?!...

Its the usual wotsit up, I see.
How can I bring sea salt for the bloomin chips?
Do I have to go to Blackpool with a filter?..
Any old way, I've been to the library and borrowed a dog eared copy of 'All Creatures Great And Small'...very interesting book and the dogs ear was a bonus.
What that James Herriott doesn't know about Blue tongues, Sheep fleas, and mad cows just aint worth knowing.
So, I'm quietly confident that I'm in line for the Gold Medal spot on The Weakest Link...
...and to finish with a song... 'The Winner takes it all'..

Trek's got the right idea here....several answers can be found listening to The Archers. Years ago 'Tom Forrest' payed a visit to our village to open the traction engine rally - it was the highlight of 1957 in these parts - women swooned
If any of you are thinking of picking up tips from 'Emmerdale' - forget it!...nobody there has had their arm up a cow since 1988..it's all 'sex, sex, sex' they tell me now (must watch it!)

Correct Trek...they are King Edwards...only the best grown in these ere parts, due to the manure.
Please inform me if you are NOT taking the meals option. Belinda wasn't a cook at the hospital, she specialized in all forms of massage. You should see her caressing a stick of celery or a banana, and you'll soon realise what a loss he is to the NHS.
If you intend to 'do' chips, please bring your own frying pan, some oil and possibly sea salt. Plates will be available, along with cutlery. Drinks in the shape of tea/coffee/milk (d.i.y courtesy of Daisy or Ermantrude in the bottom field), will be available 24 hours.
Farmer Giles is having a hoe-down on Saturday evening, so something in gingham might be a good idea. During the evening there will also be a 'Weakest link' competition, with 90% of the questions 'farm related' - so swat up.

It will make a change for me to go potatoe picking in August as I'm usually to be found sprout picking in October.
I'll bring the salt and vinegar for the chips...and some eggs from the next farm ..I like eggs with my chips
I've heard it on good authority that we are pickin King Edwards...so the tiara would seem to be fitting
In order to get the bag of tatties home I shall be bringing the Reliant, so if anyone wants a lift to deepest Oxfordshire...just ask...plenty of room up front

There certainly is Pen
Here's another, 'One potato, two potato, three potato, four...'
....oh hold on, that's the Banana Splits theme ain't it?

PS. If we're having chips, someone had better bring the vinegar bottle |

Well I never did!...(Not very often anyway)
The Giles Family must be about the only gang of village 'ne-er do wells' that I haven't yet.. met.
Is this the same Mr' Giles, who is fondly known as 'Ruddyface' Giles in all the local hostelries, especially 'The Sour Faced Pig'?..
If so I can't wait to meet him,he sounds like a right card!..
I'm not fancying the idea of Belinda the cook, NHS food?...You must be bloomin' joking!..
No, if I'm picking spuds, I'll have chips with everything, And I'll cook them myself, if no-one minds.
Are these potatoes Maris Pipers? King Edwards?.Or the cheap variety that go like soggy rice puddin'..
You see, I need to know, as I'll dress accordingly, if they are Maris Pipers, I'll come in a kilt..
If they are King Edwards..I'll be wearing my tiara..
..but if they are Cr..ubbish, I'll wear my overalls and scarf.
You can be sure that my medals will be displayed in a prominent position, whatever my outfit.
Let me know, Toots... I should hate to be "overdressed, underdressed.. womblin free..."
There really is a song for every occasion, aint there???

I trust everyone has recovered and those with medals are proudly wearing them?
So, where shall we go next?(to coin a phrase) - well, in keeping with the outdoor theme and knowing your all at your 'peak' fitness wise how about another outdoor activity?
Right?..yes?...ok, this coming weekend you are all invited down (or up in a couple of cases) to Oxfordshire for a spot of potato picking I have arranged this in conjunction with our local farmer Mr Giles, who is desperatly short-staffed at the moment due to his wife running off with Adge the combine harvester driver, and two of his daughters getting pregnant by Bill the cowpoke
Mr Giles will put you up for the weekend and supply meals at Manor Farm. The meals will be provided by ex-nurse Belinda who now works for Mr Giles. She came to the farm after Mr Giles broke both his arms last January and was hospitalised for 5 weeks. Nurse Belinda was his 'right hand' for all this time With the threat of MRSA and poor pay Belinda was poached from the NHS and now almost runs the Manor farmhouse. She is a brilliant cook.
Anyway...back to the spuds - there are 3 fields full of them - you will be supplied with overalls, a knife and a good supply of buckets.
The foreman 'Spud Sid' will give you all the training required, and will be on hand 24/7 in case of problems. You will all be allowed a 56k sack of spuds to take home (excellent for chips etc).
Some of you I know have been here before for village open days and will know where Manor Farm is situated, but for first time visitors you turn left after the railway bridge into Church Lane - the farm is next to the church on the left.
see you Saturday morning then?

Yep they are- another gold and bronze coming our way!.
As far as 2012 is concerned, I'm happy to participate in any of the events except for swimming- remember what happened when we were all in the water last time?....and that was a duck pond!.
Mind you, if I manage to score a double gold in an event, d'ya think I may stand a chance of being promoted from a Diva to a Dame too?
Emz- aiming high

I'm sorry to say I didn't join the medals table
Heather was a nightmare! Firstly her good leg turned out to be allergic to the heat of Bejing, so she decided she'd use the one she had made in Harrods with her 'winnings' from Paul. This was not a good idea as wood presever leaked into the sack resulting us sqelching to a dissapointing 9th place...just above Rolf Harris.
She then had a 'hissy-fit' and stormed off dragging me behind as we were still in the sack I do hope the 'News of the World' didn't get the picture. This will be the last time I enter a sports competition unless the prize includes pickled onions.
I, eventually got back and spent the rest of the day with Trek, musing over what could have been. Of course old 'GOLDIElocks Pen' was prancing around dazzling everyone with the reflection off her medal - along with the tiara she looked like something off a Christmas tree. WE ARE NOT JEALOUS
Anyway - not to be too 'down' we went out for an 'English'.

P.S - Our next trip will be in a country that uses knives and forks. |

It was Redina Chucaneski what hit Pen with the golf ball..she scored
a no throw as it was out of the area and was disqualified..which left moi and 2 chinese women,
Yang and Ying. These 2 managed to fling the golf ball 20 metres and 21 metres, so being the last to throw I was all set when all hell broke loose as the medics came rushing into the stadium to ship Pen off to Bojangles A & E.
Whilst all this was goin on my golf ball got nicked...I reckon by Ying so unfortunately I was disqualified.
So it all down to Tootle in the 3 legged race

Anyhoo....
C'mon TEAM TOOTLE/GB!

Well look like my news has been greeted with a Wall of Silence.
I think I might withdraw from the sack race.
By the way, we're all down for the 'Tug Of War'.....against CHINA!..

Need I say more?..
Of course I'll say more, whenever do I use one word when I can use fifty?
I know that you'll lap () this up anyway.
First off, the race was only shown in the Upper regions of outer Mongolia and the Rainforests of Southern Siam.
This was due to the fact that China did NOT have a competitor in this event..."Not in the public interest" they kept repeating.
Anyway,it went like this:
The four of us stood quivering and quaving on the start line, and the gun was fired!..
At first I looked around thinking that a madman had secreted himself in the stadium, but as the others ran past me, I realised that the race had started!...
I scrambled my way to the front, and managed to poach first place.
As I did so, I was knocked unconscious by a stray golf ball..I won't say it was Treks ball, but I have my suspicions...
nuff said.
This is why I'm late with my report, A+E in Bojangles is nothing to write home about, but at least they had me sorted within 14hrs.
So,Toots I didn't let the side down, and managed to spread some brochures and Leaflets about your 'Tours' amongst the twenty strong crowd...
Life just don't get much better than this, does it?...
