Barnstaple.

Just scored a job there.

Any one in the area know anything about renting cheap digs in the
manor?

 

That dear old chap, Pip tugged on his pipefull of old shag and said:

I must admit it's a beautiful part of the country. Spent most of the
weekend down there and even in the rain on Friday afternoon it was
lovely.

Thinking of trying to rent or buy one of those large static caravan
things - probably be able to rent it out after the contract ends.

Traffic did seem a little heavy - apparently they'll soon be opening a
new bridge over the river which will make it better.

 

It's a 'glad to be alive' day almost every day.

That's a smart idea. Plenty of them about, too.

So I see:

Due to hand over in May - and they're ahead of schedule! What do they
think they're doing to the rep of the Great British Workman?

That should make a hell of a difference, actually.

 

A nice run from there to Hartland Quay for the hill climbs.
Worth a visit anyway for a walk along the coastal path.

For some reason while reading this, I was thinking of Dunstable. Cue one
major 'wtf' moment.

 

That dear old chap, ogden tugged on his pipefull of old shag and said:

Dunstable - a place of outstanding natural nastyness.

 

Nastier than Luton?

 

That dear old chap, Eiron tugged on his pipefull of old shag and said:

I think Luton is a paradise in comparison.

You made me miss.

 

Champ says...

Simes is old, the front of his suit always has a damp patch.

 

Aha!

"Piddletrenthide (n)

A trouser stain caused by a wimbledon(1). Not to be confused with a
botley(2).

1. Wimbledon (n) That last drop which, no matter how much you shake
it, always goes down your trouser leg.

2. Botley (n) The prominent stain on a man's trouser crotch seen on
his return from the lavatory. A botley proper is caused by an
accident with the push taps, and should not be confused with any stain
caused by insufficient waggling of the willy (see: piddletrenthide)."

I quote, of course, from that inestimable source of knowledge, The
Meaning Of Liff.

 

My sister had 2 x blocks of flats with 20 flats per block down in
Barnstaple. She got rid of them all when she saw sense.

She moved back oop norf too.

My new boss is a keen surfist. I'm supposed to be getting some pics
for a website for him - as soon as there is a decent surf and decent
light.

I do have a wetsuit as it happens... Ignore Bear. I have often been
complimented on my fine physique.

 

That dear old chap, Bear tugged on his pipefull of old shag and said:

It's not string. It's magic bailer twine.

The sign of a true country person is a length of bailing twine in your

I always carry a bit of string - marvellous stuff.
