... I appear to have screwed the pooh (TBAGO).

Um, what?

Typo, But A Good One

And if you've never seen The Right Stuff:  a) you should watch The Right Stuff (with a pinch of sodium chloride)  and  b) it was supposed to be "screw the pooch"

Last night; hunting high & low for my reading specs which I'd been using not quarter of an hour before. Ask MrsL if she's seen them and came the reply, "Yes.  They're tucked into the neck of your jumper. The one you are wearing."   There may have been laughter at my expense.  Oh well.

The film? I don't think I have, but will consider.

And TBAGO? I've tried googling, without much luck.

Screwing the Pooh is something else



FSVO screw, natch.

TBAGO (optionally ToBAGO) = Typo But A Good One, from uk.rec.sheds

As mentioned in the very post the Paul quoted where he said he'd googled to no avail.  Possibly the right thread for such stuff...

Nope, I’m the div from not realising that Beardy was answering my question, not commenting on the poo/pooch thing.
I should come with a warning.

To be fair, I could have been more verbose with my reply.

I have reached new heights (depths) of Divary.

I cycled 18miles to my mate's house. Thought my Cadbury's Creme Eggs were getting more squished than usual during the ride.

When I got to his, I realised I was wearing my Speedo swimming trunks... not my cycling shorts.

64 years old and scrap heap worthy

So, I go to a lot of trouble to secure a spare set of wheels for my ebike and sojournmike, OTP, helps immensely with a lovely set. Off I go to Suffolk to my mate's house with said ebike in tow and spare set of wheels. I'd removed the other set of wheels to fit it in the car. Had I also removed the vital magnet from a spoke on the other set? Had I heck as like!

With the Haibike rendered a large paperweight, I ended up using a Pompino a size too small with one gear (of 3) short.

Suffolk is not flat!

Just as my rib is better and I can now pull my socks without pain, I wake up this morning with a really painful joint at the base of my thumb, so now I have to use other digits to get my socks on again. No idea what I've done, maybe it was something to do with me stabbing holes in the lawn for plants yesterday.

[Kim]

Have you considered sandals?  Might be safer...

[The Family Cyclist]

I've posted this before but can't find it but have done it again

Washed and ironed all girls school uniforms and forgot the youngest goes into summer uniform so her shirts won't be required till later in year by which point they probably won't fit

[Mrs Pingu]

You want me to stab myself in the foot with a fork?

Good point, that's not going to make the sock wearing any easier.

She can't afford the scandle.

She probably shouldn't wear pumps either, then.

Nominating my son-in-law.

Visited for a week and sensibly brought his bike.

Leaving Sat on the ferry, he packs car, carefully taking wheels off bike and putting frame in first. All other luggage (lots when you have a toddler) added.

We leave them at ferry port and drive home. 5 min after driving home, phone call. Wheels left behind.

Cue dash to ferry port, arriving just in time (daughter is waiting in the port car park, SiL has driven onto ferry). Daughter then runs after car, one wheel in each hand.

Bought a new casing for the wing mirror on the car. Arrived today....I ordered the wrong side (got drivers, need passenger side).

"Need the light on in here," said I to the parrot just now, and proved it by walking into the corner of a table while heading for the switch.  Lovely bang on the outside of the thigh, and funny pins'n'needles feelings radiating from it every so often.  Hope there's a bruise.
