More on Evil Bob




So the saga continues......Evil Bob has now achieved one of his goals, he has planning permission for the detached two bed bungalow to be built within a whisper of our side fence.



Now, Im in favour of moving on but the males of my family (and I live within an all male household except for guinea pig and hamster) are steaming.You could cut the testosterone with a knife. This is compounded by the fact that we now seem to have a "dance of the vehicles" situation in the road.
My alpha two( the third of them is away at university but he would have a much more measured approach anyway) park their cars just the otherside of Bobs dropped kerb and he is, as you know , a white van man so he cant quite squeeze his van into the space.Then he has to( heaven forbid) park a couple of feet further down the road.

As soon as one of our cars moves, he zooms in like a cheetah and parks his van there.Sometimes his bumper appears to be attempting to perform an act on our car which is illegal in some countries! Look at the pic.



Bobs van is where you can see, right near my house

His house is at the other end of the fence. Why why why???

Needless to say, during all of this macho posturing, sweet little dixy is either in the drive or safe in the garage.
Oh in the words of Charlie Sheen " Men, men, men , men manly men, do do do do do do doooo!"

A walk on the downs...and a wee bit of fun!


Wow, the weather was brilliant today. Mucky, Legs and I went for a stunning walk along the Dunstable downs. Just a short 4 miler today but great fun and a good meal in a pub.Nice scrumpy Jack cider.
We laughed almost all the time but none longer than when Mucky related her escapade with her sister. They were both desperate for a wee and , as it was a misty morning, so the story goes, they sneaked into the woods to do the deed.
They had both settled when Mucky noticed something shiny on the ground beneath her .
What the...?! was her retort just before the torrent began , only to find her weeing on her pedometer which did of course cease to function immediately, well who wouldnt?!
Laugh, Legs and I creased up at this.How on earth could she not have noticed it and various other rude remarks.I told her I would blog it and here it is.
The irony of this story is that within 5 minutes, I promise you not a moment longer had passed,I needed to wee and took myself off to a suitably private spot where I proceeded to do exactly the same thing!
Although I did actually notice the poor machine just before the flood hit it, wild elephants could not have stopped that mid stream urine and, like Muckys, mine gave up the ghost.
That will teach you I can hear you say!

Quiz night at the oasis

Third time lucky is perhaps how we four trusty warriors (cerebral you understand) viewed the forthcoming quiz.It was the same one that Heather and Dick (he of the" lets choose get your leg over as the joker" thinking it was about sex when in fact it was about cricket) came to last year.Then, we finished about 8th , which was a big improvement on bottom.
Anyway
when we arrived it was all a little surreal, perhaps not quite Dali, more Bertold Brecht with a hint of Kafka. We noshed and drank, making merry as we went.Actually, we thought we werent too bad but others seemed to be taking it much more seriously.
All of us contibuted, I did the Stef Penny question, Chiv did the crash of Rhinos, Moishe leapt in with the crusaders cross and BJ, well ,she had more than one or two significant answers.
Crunch time, they started reading the winners in reverse order and we didnt even hear ours , thinking we must have missed it but no!
We came a stunning....first!!
This is what we won. Well, it was spots not flowers and we won 1 each so roll on next year!
