OT Apprentice really did it this time

[Bob Eager]

I expect quite a few people serviced her.

One of the garden parties? I went to one of those. Bloody thunderstorm, a load of people sheltered under the trees. Six ambulances taking them away after a lightning strike.

Her father in law paid for the work. ISTR it just needed some work on the brakes

[Nightjar]

A private (indoor) tea party for the families of the dozen or so SAS and SBS getting medals, following the awards.

Who (or what) are the "law"?

Pah. French mechanics.

Surely you've heard of "Parkinson's Law"? "Work expands to fill the time available"

[Bob Eager]

Parkinson's Law.

Not uncommon here. It is said that the family love Balmoral and this part of the world not just because of the location, but because it is the one part of the world where they are left in peace. Loved and respected, but not hounded. Not uncommon to suddenly meet family members walking the hills or visiting local shops. I was lucky enough to be invited to a garden party at Balmoral, and a private soiree at Birkhall.

And I went to school with Ted Tudor-Pole - same year and for several years.

Oh

Trapdoors are only needed for humane hangings. I'm confident Adam's chippy won't waste wood, hinges etc on that when a simpler, old- style "hoist-him-up-lads" gallows will do the job. Of course the apprentice will face a longer and more painful experience but that's life.

[David]

No, I think you'll find that's death.

[ARW]

Deserves it:-)

So before she was married?

I used to live a couple of doors down from Diana Rigg, and she got an honourary degree from Stirling Uni when I was there.
