..I know some people aspire to owning a car with a panoramic sunroof - I picture them as wanting a naff accessory to match the "Love/Hate" tattoos on their knuckles, and the faux-oriental-language one round their neck that they got in Bangkok, and they think says "Tracey", but really spells "w*nker". I have to say thats a pretty perverse conclusion. I wonder what Carl Jung would say about that word association. He ties ice picks to his knees. I'm not thinking too hard about that if we're going into psychoanalysis mode...😜

Might get one after all, I thought perhaps a full sized Golden Eagle on my back with its wings running down the backs of my arms so you could make it look like it was flying by flapping your arms. What do you think? Or should I start with something more subtle? If you were black we would at least mistake you for a Pontiac Trans Am

All that tinned food in the motorwhatsit can have some strange effects.

Too much pickled fish I reckon.

Anyway, one day this woman is walking back from town from a shopping trip and pondering on how she can spice up the old bedroom action with her husband. Just then she notices that a new tattoo parlour has opened and on impulse she goes in and asks if she could have a butterfly on each buttock as a surprise for her husband. The tattoo guy looks a bit sheepish and explains that he's only just started doing tattoos and that butterflies might be a bit beyond his skill set. However he says that he'd be pretty confident about bees. So, she says that's ok, she'll have a pair of bees, one on each buttock. Later that evening, her husband comes home and she says coquettishly, I've got something to show you...so she bends down, drops her kit and says, well, what do you think darling? After a long pause, her husband asks in a cracked voice... Who the hell is "BOB"

Worth mentioning that it is probably excluded just from the glass section of the policy, rather than excluded from the policy as a whole. The impact of that being that the glass is covered, but a claim is subject to both AD excess and NCD loss. Worth checking, assuming that you have both a panoramic sunroof and the ability to read. ...indeed, I realised I'd omitted to make this clear. For most people, the replacement cost would probably justify a claim, but it would be painful either way.

.....I was only sayin' (...and it's a bl**dy axe that I don't tie to my knee - (not) tying it to my knee s would be bl**dy dangerous)

I thought so too. I'll make enquiries.
( looks like a pick though ) 🤓

( looks like a pick though ) 🤓 ..that's probably because you're contemplating using the tattooist who did the bees....... (or have I lost the thread here somewhere.....)

All that tinned food in the motorwhatsit can have some strange effects. I might choose to live in a tin, but I certainly don't live out of one. But it set a train of thought running - does anybody really eat a lot of stuff out of tins nowadays? I can seriously only think of two items I've used out of tins for the last n years - tomatoes - as required, for all sorts of sauces, casseroles, etc (and as and when SWMBO doesn't offer up such from the greenhouse), and butter beans, which I use to "bulk up" my sausage casserole. Seriously, can't think of anything else.

...haven't touched mackerel or tuna since I got scombroid poisoning eating out at a local (well regarded) hostelry. I'm not particularly concerned about a re-occurrence of the event, but the association has put me off the taste.
Haven't eaten sardines/sild from a tin since I was a nipper, nor used evaporated milk since then.
Not a great fan of (baked) beans, though it occurs to me that any beans we use in chili (borlotti, etc) are sometimes tinned.
I have visions of lots of tinned food being around when I was younger, but not now.
