i am a wizz with the ironing and embroidery, patching mending of clothes ect my daddy showed me, you should see the throw cushions i ran up resplendent with pleated ruff, from the spare curtain materiel i had left over, from the changing rooms thing i did with the kids, though at the moment i can only iron one shirt then have to have a rest for a bit then have another go.

You ran up a resplendent pleated ruff? How high did you get and did you avoid bumping your bonce on the ceiling.

:blush: Bonce might, of coarse, be Noggin in North Eastershire.

Yo Cosimino,
never mind tha' top end of t'body. Bone crunchingly enough we were hoping for news of the RECOVERY.


Every morning I look to the skies for omens, a sign from the Middle North. The other morning I did see a big finger like cloud pointing down. Were you on the receiving end ?

Take heed sir, in the old days tha'd have to ring a large bell to warn villagers of tha' approach.

My guess is that our Hero Geek God will announce a full recovery when we get to page 50. He's been teasing us that he's not well for so long. However I have reason to believe that, in secret, at vast amount of government money has been spent rebuilding our hero! Not so much 'The Bionic Man', Terminator or 'Robocop' but more something you might knock up in a shed, or see in an amateur stage show of the Wizard of Oz. Maybe we could call it/him, 'The Exterminator'.

I gather they're having trouble finishing the programming of the brain. Something to do with finding a Spel Checka that works for Rotherese and Geek God speke.

'Huston, we have a problem!'

Yo Byegadio,
I understand that there are still villages in the Deep South still requiring village idiots and individuals to live in grottos and caves.
Surely this calling will end in
RECOVERY.

In addition since the demise of bear baiting, baiting the Hermit has become popular.

I can't see the West Riding wanting to lose their own Geek God. When he moves in Speicher they'll probably hold a severely solemn ceremony where--by they try to drink every public house and off-licence out of alcoholic beverages.

the rummers of my Recovery have been greatly exaggerated.

though triking, handbikeing have been improving, being shackled to a desk has been causing problems! i have put in a request for a better lard chair, though i will probably no-longer be working at the office.
i was going to enrol in hermiting night classes but they only do a correspondence course as attending a class sort of misses the point of the hole hermiting thing, by the time it arrives.


the silk mankeeny thong has improved the woollen comfort and is quiet fetching, though i do draw the line at sequins(thank you for the suggestion byegad)

there is talk of putting weekly bin collections back on and some people decrying this as not being environmentally friendly, just think of all the bonfires spouting thick black toxic smoke in to the air that will stop.
putting speed limits up on motorways, fuel consumption drasticly increases when a car travels above 60mph, yet the campaign to bring in a blanket 20mph in town is floundering, it just makes it clear how powerful the car lobby is.
my attempt to match these ideas has sadly failed to come even close to being as humerus, a tax on bottled water seems a bit to sensible!

unfortunately the canoe race i organised around the car park to day had to be canceld because of lack of water, canoes, paddles and any one willing to take part.
i am still hopeful my team building efforts will pay-off eventually and some of the staffs nervous ticks will subside.

Yo Cosmio,
I observe from your ramblings that you will "probably not be working at the office ". Given your charisma and air of amblivalence I would have thought you to be an essential asset anywhere.
I hope that you have packed for the event in the far North, be aware sir, there will be a grilling.

Not only the League, but the Nosferati and the Inquisition, expect news of RECOVERY.

There will be no chance of evasion , but hopes are high for long distance queueing.

...edit...

The sequin idea wasn't to add to your mankini it was to be used as a replacement for the mankini, being large enough to hide anything likely to cause horses to bolt and ladies of a delicate disposition to faint, after getting an eyeful! Well when I say eye full, I mean more a speck of dust in the eye!

Ah, 'tis true, I just wondered if our Geek God had been promoted or sidelined into a parallel siding or universe where RECOVERY might be the norm.

More than ever he'll be needing a snorkel at Wooler.

no one expects the Spanish inquisition!


yes i will be at Wooler, i will have a minion pack for me, over the next day or two.

the office thing is a temporary gig to see if my leg rots off, have to have another operation or recover enough to go back to my job.
so i have until December 1st to show i am capable of, not blowing up the computer system, turn up when i am meant to and a good boy, so if it looks like i will not be able to do my job there is a very slim vague chance i will be able to be redeployed.

RECOVERY by December 1st ?
I hope you meant next year or the year after.

There is no doubt that tha' have the ideal qualifications and attitude for white collar work. Erudite, polite and accurate with dater.
It is a constant wonder that you have not been head hunted.

After shrinking over a smokey fire , it would make a splendid trophy and be of more use than now.

Take care sir, no one expects the LEAGUE.

i have noticed something, because you are on the end of a phone, you suddenly become
1 telepathic
2 the fountain of all knoll age
3 every ones slave
4 your fault
5 expected to remember every conversation
6 solve every ones problems for them
7 have the temperament of a door mat
8 be able to talk to the person on the end of the phone answer and two other pepole in the office asking stupid questions all at the same time


the rolling resistance reduction device that was going to revolutionise has had a slight set back, while in use the vehicle will only go in a straight line.

why are some people extremely miserable all the time, i bumped in to a man i have not seen for three years and he is still absolutely miserable, he has a exceedingly good wage coming in nice newish house two nice kids goes on lots of holidays has excellent health and is probably the most miserable person i know "apart from nick while paying at the bar" and "byegad while towing me up a hill with the dangelly straps hanging of the back of his trike" every thing is rubbish, when he gets to the hottel he is always first at the reception with a list of grievances, he makes me depressed standing within ten feet of him.

today i have been experementing with pankakes for brakefest when camping, a reasonably thick one, mixing in porridge, slow cooking, thin ones fast cooking. the finding are interesting a hybrid , pancake mix / porridge made reasonably stiff mix will be next then the same mixed thinly.
i may get a research grant from the eu.




no one expects a recovery!
