    We have been caught in the lie, the only problem is that Aesculus is terrified of moths, so will be hanging back as ground crew on the operation.

    We have assigned him to bog roll security:thumbsup:

      Well, you know us, Jack, we're not above a little dishonesty and cheating. Actually, you're not that far away from the Isle of Man, if we fitted some 52 gallon drums on the wings of the Tiger Moth you could be in range for a bog roll drop:heehee:

        'Plus ca change' as they say. Some people thrive on their doom laden philosophies which is a bit sad really. As for Nostradamus et al - their predictions rarely occur, as Freddy says, ambiguity rules!

        I'm just off to take the dog for a walk - temperature is rising, some snowdrops have flowered and all is well with the world where I am.

          Okay everyone! The Tiger Moth can be put back into balls, the 52 gallon drums won't be necessary and the crew can stand down. :heehee:

          Why? SHEAL'S HOUSEHOLD NOW HAS TOILET ROLLS! Got my supply in Tesco's today!

          Thanks everyone!

                  Well, that's a shame, Sheal, as Ziggy and I were set to Roll. We're were going to have a breakfast of bread Rolls, Sausage Rolls, Cinnamon Rolls, with some Swiss Rolls for afters, and then we were going to drive to the Tiger Moth in Ziggy's Rolls. We're were looking forward to having a Roll-licking time but never mind.:D Roll on Christmas.:heehee:

                  Jack, no I didn't need to use the truncheon, the rush had already gone!

                  Armandii, you and Ziggy will be able to stay at home and roll out the barrel instead. :heehee:

                  Sheal, I'm glad you didn't have to strain yourself in the end.
