Ola,
We are on holiday in Spain.
Spanish plumbing really has come on leaps and bounds. It is a pleasure to ascend my throne for an hour in the morning and allow the previous night’s paella, chips, sausages, black pudding, egg, chips and leg of lamb begin its momentous journey to the sea. Why David Attenborough hasn’t done a documentary on this still bemuses me. Like that one about the salmon returning to their spawning grounds. Only this would be about turds.
Still can’t get used to the bidet though. Use it to rinse me smalls.
We went on a boat trip.
An On The Pot served as a Tar under Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Horatio On The Pot came to a sticky end. Not in the heat of battle, but sneaking a crafty snifter from the barrel of brandy that Nelson was pickled in. They say the resulting dysentery was the inspiration behind pebble dashing.
We’ve met Brian and Sandra. They are from Basildon. The posh part. He sells double glazing. What he doesn’t know about glazing isn’t worth knowing about. I know because he told me. Often. Very often.
Sandra and my lovley wife Shirley have formed a bond, giggling and glaring at Brian and me as they cane the Gordons.
All this whilst Brian advises me on developments in toughened safety glass. Give me strength. Give me melanoma. Anything but the exciting world of lead beading finishes.
Ole.

I think I know Brian’s brother. He sells used cars.
We all need a Brian in our lives
I can imagine that Brian is particularly good at bringing on glazed expressions …
The man is a pane
There go scone crumbs all over the place …
You are raisin a big issue here
You wouldn’t be in sultana person, would you?
Very Amuesling
Ply Brian with copious amounts of Rioja and I’m sure he’ll move onto more stimulating conversation topics. 🙂
Patios past, present and future maybe
Maybe Bob should get a portable so he will always have the feel of a home game when he is on the road.
Such wisdom John. Somebody sent me a link to a contraption the other week – i will include it in Bob’s next outing.
LOL! Ole! … So you are in Spain … where the rain is on the plain …or, not.
I was in Spain a few weeks ago – Malaga – and it was cold and wet!
… and still, I’m jealous … 🙂
Ole! This is just lovely. Make sure you wear some sunscreen, darling, or a hat.
Always a hat and Factor 50 goes on this ginger bonce!
I could do with a good glazing. Any tips?
Dip yourself in formaldehyde and lie in the Sun for about 6 hours. Then apply a beeswax based car polish – you will buff up lovely!
My weekend is made.
I think if Bob would share more about rinsing his smalls, Brian would stop talking about safety glass. Just a suggestion!
I knew I could count on you for a wise and timely comment Debra.
Jim, I don’t know which I love more. This post, or the comments. I was going to say that MTM probably feels like he’s on holiday with Bob, only our bedet-less bathroom is down outdoor stairs, has no heat, and it’s winter. Maybe we need to lock Brian in there for a while……
This could be a new form of community punshment. Offending rates would dive if criminals are Brianed!
Brian is like the “plastics” guy in the graduate. You should check on Sandra and Shirley again to see why they are giggling.
Drink is a terrible thing
I can see that Bob and a bidet are not the ideal match.
You have great insight Frank!
