Nothing but a Navvie

[claymore]

This week- with the Dream Factory closed - I'm locked into domestic bliss as I dance to Dear Heart's tune and get the driveway concreted and store the winters wood supply.
I was wondering Dear Friends whether any of you might have an EXTREME BOAT THREATENING EMERGENCY which necessitated all able volunteers to rally under the strong bond of friendship to help out a mate in distress? Ideally your problem would take a couple of days to solve and you would need me to leave immediately to be with you in 4 or 5 hours.
Wednesday afternoon would be good.

Ah but then you'd be knee deep in mud and no wood to burn next winter. Dear Heart would put you on short commons and withdraw certain rights. You'd become grumpy and withdrawn, and we'd lose one of the funniest contributors to the thread.

So stop whingeing man, and put your back into it.

PS - I'm off to sail a classic Swan a couple of hundred miles, otherwise I'd be up there like a shot with my cement mixer's licence and my steel toecaps.

No need for that.
Screw up your face like Quasimodo (qv), clutch your back (or other parts of anatomy), and say 'Its nothing. I'll be fine in a moment.'
If this doesn't work a) you're married to the wrong woman or b) join amateur dramatic society.

Ah - at last a true friend with a helpful suggestion - not like that other bunch of eejits who responded.
How is the Pretty Young Thing?

Re: Procrastinator-in-chief

Ancient Russian Proverb - 'A kind word is better than a fat pie' - whilst most moved by your kind words - on reflection I think I'd rather have you call me to help out with the Swan - or get your spotty wee bum up here and grab a shovel - than be flattered by your kind words.
