Edge of reason

I took the tractor in for an MOT this morning.


It passed...

Congratulations.

I'm going to give the Minister of Transport a severe talking-to, you see
if I don't.

 

"Alastair there's that nice Mr Murray from South London on the phone for
you. Something about communist agricultural vehicles."

"Oh no not again. Tell him I'm busy trying to work out how to widen the
M25 to 26 lanes"

 

I appeal to no-one.

 

A master of sarcastic wit. Sir, I salute you.

 

So they didn't have a problem with the turbo and suspension mods?
Amazing what you can get away with.

 

I quite like your brain. And I still can't find that half remembered
poem. I may have to start a thread.

 

You have my curse too?

Fortunately, the emissions test is carried out without the owner
present.

Sassoon: Does it Matter?

I was slightly worried about the sound emissions, tbh. Going home and
ramming stuff into the pipes would have been a bit of a faff.

Thankfully no.

"Post-coital"

 

You star, I can go to bed happy now. Well, not exactly happy because
it's Sassoon and he didn't really *do* happy but you get the gist.

 

In the same book is John Peale Bishop's "In the Dordogne", which I reckon is
teriffic. Although I can't find it online.

I'd stopped it in gear while I went into the office. By the time I came
back out, one of the guys was already doing the brake tests, having found a
usable false neutral...
