the recovery

[byegad]

I've come to an executive decision.

The recovery (Remember that anyone?) is stalled so we need to take drastic action. We are going to sell the SBGGs trikes, all three of them, and use the funds to rebuild him. So its going to be a string and sealing wax job, rather than 6 million dollar man effort.

All suggestions for replacement parts for his body will be welcome, I'll start.

1. A ZX81 I found in a skip will replace his brain.

Yo Cosmoidius,
I observe that there are moves to rebuild tha' perfect fom.
Tha' should take to hiding in bushes and shrubberies. If tha' covers t' top of head with tin foil, then not only will you be invisible to heat detectors, but will fail to show up on satellite pics.
It might be wise upon the turn of every hour to leave the work station and take to the wilderness. I understand there are benefits to taking up the hookah.

Spud has a whole range of "I spy" and "Teach yourself" books and cassettes. Would you be interested?

Replacing his bendy bones could be done with some well seasoned 2"x4" turned down and spoke shaved to suit.

it would be heresy to mess with this sculpted perfection that is the SBGG, though if any one has a extra thumb laying about having three might be advantages.

today i totally whimpped out and i think tomorrow will be a trike free day as well.
i am having problems with the weather againi think i will start and migrate from next year probably to California.

To quote Eric Morecambe

Rubbish!

I have been pondering how to help. Long story short (don't ask) there is a lot of sound equipment in this house, some of it works, and some doesn't and some works in termittently. As Mark is not near Termittently, that may not help.

I am guessizing that the SBGG likes the sound of his master's own voice. Do you think he needs a cordless microphone thingy?

He could also use a bar code reader, I suppose. I will test that to see if it can detect beer and pies from a distance of 300 metres.

I could lend a hand - an old Palm Vx which could be of use as ... well a hand (thumbless - oh- and fingerless ) or even as a mini-memory , if I can remember where it is.

I did say it was old - but still much, MUCH younger than the SBGG.

 

[byegad]

Well the cordless microphone is no good. Hearing the SBGG is not an issue, however if you still have the cord we can use that.

The palm is good , if crossed with silver, or cheque payable to Byegad, CO, the Cultural Attaché's Office, North Yorkshire Embassy to Durham and the frozen North, West wing corridor 32, room 14, Byegad Towers County Durham.

 

[Scoosh]

Payable in what currency ?

Shekels, Goats, Groats, Dubloons or something a bit older - in keeping with your more mature personage ?

I've a spare left arm kicking around somewhere I could send on.
But I don't know how well it would work bodged as a leg.

Also if I do send it, don't get to attached to it as I will need it back when I break the one I normally use .......

Plus the odd left hook or two.

Luck .........

Sir

As far as most of the population of Yorkshire are concerned all of the above are still legal tender. They find out otherwise if they actually spend the money... (Pause for uncontrolled sobbing, shaking of head at fellow Yorkshiremen's folly.) ...which doesn't happen often. As an example my late Great Grand Father was known as a spendthrift because he bought a round when my Grand Father was born. Great Grand Mother had him locked in the Ice Cellar for a few years for the mobs waiting for another free drink to disperse after the word got out.

As I live abroad, as the Ambassador to the frozen North (County Durham), I'm more savvy and if it isn't legal tender expect trouble. The Bradford Clog Dancing team have been known to leave no evidence after their Warclog other than a faint stain on the cobbles.

As for the slur about my 'mature personage' I'll treat that remark with the disdain it deserves, with the forgiveness due a young whipper-snapper who has made a grave* error.

*This is a threat!

All welcome. Perhaps we could add extra arms so he can do two jobs at once??

Extra ? EXTRA ??? I thought only legs were needed for pedalling ....

Surely that would need a larger brain-type thing - and a larger space to keep it ?

Multi-tasking requires, I am told, amazing amounts of memory/brain power.

 

[Speicher]

To add memory power, could we not just give him another chip and re boot him?

 

[Scoosh]

Just boot him, IMHO ...
