    So Billy Bob Clampett is Mr Cs brother it turns out, coming for the funeral. Somehow he has decided Wales seems like a nice place to spend a few days and is going to stay in the clampervan with them and go off each day and tour wales on his bike. He is also the third confirmed pull bearer. I just hope Edna is as lopsided on her back as she was on her feet. I hope they dont ask me to even up the other side.

    Edna again - You mean Enid! :p

    Brilliant read, Been following this since it started :)

    Oh and I have to ask, where about in Wales are you? I have a feeling you're a few miles down the road from me

    "A roast in the caravan" i thought this pastime was reserved for premiership footballers in hotel rooms.

    Another "google" for Mr J to see the meaning

    There are going to be donations to SOBS (society of blind scrabblers), apparantly, they need a new mini bus as the old one was written off. Presumably the driver got wind of a triple letter score and veered off the road in excitement. Either that or the cats eyes in the road (which i am informed double as braille markings to keep partially sighted people on their side of the road) havent been replaced on the newly tarmaced stretch of the Torquay road.

    I must check that out on my way home tonight...

    bumped into Mr C and BB C walking back with a bottle of gas from the garage. They thanked us for letting them use our facilities and moaned about gas prices,

    They both said that they are looking forward to enjoying a roast in the caravan tomorrow

    Now, this conjures up a thought and I know what you are thinking, should i allow Mrs C to hand pick any more of my pi55y mint?

    If I sabotage it, I will look like i am depriving them on the mint, but if I tell them, they will ask why I allowed them to eat it in the first place. They say ignorance is bliss, but in this case, ignorance is p155

    A spitroast?

    :rotfl:Brilliant stuff.
    However, I have realised that there are a few key elements missing (or at least I have missed them), and those are the ages and brief descriptions of Mr and Mrs J and Mr and Mrs C. You can even include a slightly more detailed one of brother C as well and Mrs C's bro's as well please.
    It will make it a lot easier to imagine the whole scene. ;)

    edit, you could just tell them the puppy had only peed on it tonight which won't make today's sauce come back up but will put them off any future ones. It does make me wonder, will Mrs C's replace her mint sauce with white?

    About Mr C'c looks...

    Hmm, tricky.

    Apparently Gandhi drank his own pith every morning and swore by it. Of course maybe that was part of why he was a bit wizened and skinny. However, whether dog wee is similarly nutritious or spiritually uplifting is perhaps another matter. Never tried it myself. Maybe Gandhi's wee was holy wee and mere mutt wee might not qualify. Also, a lot of dogs carry a lot of diseases so perhaps that should inform your thinking. Wouldn't want to be responsible for another death, would you. Or maybe you would, by now, who can tell.
