Sunday Morning Coffee Cruise - Burford - 10 May
- Thread starter BartyB
- Start date
OK. I will come but only on ONE condition.
That I can wear a HiVis jacket and mis-direct the traffic on Burford High Street.
Wear my HiVis matching thong (you know the one I was not allowed to wear at Bicester Heritage).
And the high heels are a must.
..........Ok that appears to be three things but who is counting?
Kirk
PS Must go and have a lie down as this typing stuff is very tiring for us OAPs.

James,
Thank goodness you responded. The rumour was that you had de-patinated the 928 and sold it in the free ads of Thong Weekly and purchased a Reliant Robin. Relief!!!
You are mistaken about the "weak end" I have been doing exercises and have had an additional cup of full strength Horlicks each night. Sorry about the Ovaltine stains: such an exciting drink I get all of a quiver.
How did that special thong go down at the 'Who's Tough?' themed party on friday night? You know the leather one with all the biker studs on it..........on the inside.
Alan,
Dry cleaning is insufficient. The item has to be irradiated after use.

All these rumours are wrong. No I was not de-patinering the 928 nor is it up for sale or sold. No I have not been advising a major political party on its last minute election campaign and no I had nothing to do with the royal baby.
More of a case of Vir sapit qui pauca loquitur.
I am glad you are keeping your end up with the exercises. Have you tried weight training? It can be a bit of a drag to start with but once you're on top of it it's not that long a stretch.
It wasn't a 'Who's tough' party but a 'come in a thong' party I did take your advice and use the leather one with biker studs after your recommendation, only to find The landlord was Australian and come in a thong meant wearing flip flops. You can imagine the laughs we had at the mistake.
Well it was all cleared up later so the only harm done was by those studs. How do you stop them digging in?
I am glad you got someone to identify the dangly bit but was it with bifocals or binoculars?

James,
If you are really tough then you do not feel any discomfort from the studs digging in. You need to adopt the same methodology as Japanese Karate black belt 6th Dan masters. This involves repeatedly hitting a piece of softwood then progressing onto a floor tile (not attached to the floor) and then a house brick (not part of a house). Do not forget to make the appropriate "Hai" sound and exhale at the same time as striking the brick, tile or piece of wood. If you end up making the sound "ouuwooo" followed by an expletive then you will known that your technique is not quite right. This practice once mastered will toughen things up no end. I must warn you however that you will have no end if you do not get things right early on.
Can you clarify all that stuff you wrote that I can not understand; did you forget to put your teeth in whilst typing?
Sorry can not type anymore as I just got up and need my cup of late morning tea and then a lie down. Lifting up a tea cup is hard work!
Yours your resident OAP,
Kirk

Thanks for your advise on the toughening up procedure. Does this meet the health and safety requirements? Have you done a risk assessment?
Also I think I would be better starting with a slice of Battenberg than moving on to fruit cake before the step to stronger stuff.
I suppose it is each to their own and if you started with soft wood it might be a problem for some, but there you go.
I Think if my posts are not making sense it could be due to the illiteracy virus my computer has. It is usually found just in front of the key board.
Off back to hard work. No tea lifting here. Just coffee

I would like to make you aware that any high visibilty clothing used by members whilst undertaking marshalling, traffic management or hospitality duties must conform to the relevant standard for personal protective equipment (PPE), ie BS EN 471.
This applies to ALL high visibility clothing including thongs, g-strings and gimp masks that some members clearly feel comfortable wearing whilst helping out at Club events. This does not however apply when these articles are used for personal leisure or pleasure use.
As James correctly points out, a risk assessment should always be carried out.... then, as with most orgsnisations, largely ignored.
Hope that clarifies.
Alan
PS The above is not official Club policy....yet!

James and Alan,
I thought you two worked for a living yet you spend hours writing drivel on this site. I can not understand it. No wonder the country has gone to the dogs.
Alan, please spare me the rule book: Revision 4/2015, page 6, paragraph 3, subsection (i) (a) (revised) that you usually quote when discussing gimp masks and other paraphernalia related to your work as an RO for the region.
James who would want to eat that Battenburg cake after you have finished with it? Such a waste.
And yes, you two, I have done a wrist assessment but that is another story altogether.
I have had to delay my afternoon nap in order to create this wonderful piece of prose!
I feel a lie down is imminent......after a cup of tea (think I will avoid the Battenburg you never know where it has been).
Kirk

Kirk,
the reason I am able to find valuable time to write this as you call it 'drivel' is because it is part of my charity work for help the aged.
Alan,
If a member choses to wear hi-vis for pleasure reasons at a club event are they then not allowed to help them selves?
Would Kirk need to do an in depth wrist assessment on this and would it needed to be supervised by an official to give him pointers on how to do it properly

What an excellent turn out today! New faces, old faces, very old faces. This exceedingly high attendance today was probably because James was not present. He was doing something associated with a four letter word.
Something James calls "work". Do me a favour. Probably languishing in bed after a bad night out on saturday with the new Hi Vis thong we invested in last week. The one with the flashing lights (LEDs of course) and the specially commissioned Porsche badge. The new thong is very environmentally friendly having a battery and power generator built in. Groin rotating activates the generator and charges the battery. James, I hope that the battery has not been over charged and you have not blown the lights as I have been told that you were far too enthusiastic on saturday. That thing cost an arm and a leg and I am due to borrow it next thursday for my midnight clog dancing session in Burford High Street.

A huge thanks to everyone who came along and made this morning's get-together at Burford such a success. So successful in fact that we managed to completely fill the lounge area, reduced the biscuit inventory to nil, blocked reception and nicked most of the seats from the bar. Your company, humour and friendship is valued greatly.
We seem to be having considerable success in closing the establishments that we visit so let's see how long the Cotswold Gateway Hotel will be able to hold out from our continued patronage.
Once again, grateful thanks for all your support. Look forward to seeing everyone at the Red Lion on Wednesday and at the Porschette's Picnic.
