I dropped off last night but was rudely awakened 2 hours later by some numpty who decided to play 70s disco music at full volume - and I mean full volume the bass was making my house vibrate - from a car somewhere outside. Couldn't actually see where it was coming from so couldn't do my Mrs Angry bit in my jimjams and tell them where to stick their 'Funky Town' etc.
Took me about 2 hours to get back to sleep but woke about 4 times after that. I fear I am joining the pub insomniac club
Today I am tired and slightly grumpy ... a long weekend has left copious amounts of stuff on my desk .
When the sun doesn't shine and it's cloudy and gray And it's only the beginning of the wombling day And you've got to do the washing up for Madame Cholet
Underground, overground, wombling free, The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. Making good use of the things that we find, Things that the everyday folks leave behind.
Uncle Bulgaria, He can remember the days when he wasn't behind the times, With his map of the world. Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory!
Wombles are organised, work as a team. Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean. Underground, overground, wombling free, The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we!
People don't notice us, they never see, Under their noses a Womble may be. We womble by night and we womble by day, Looking for litter to trundle away.
We're so incredibly, utterly devious Making the most of everything. Even bottles and tins. Pick up the pieces and make them into something new, Is what we do!
Underground, overground, wombling free, The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. Making good use of the things that we find, Things that the everyday folks leave behind.
Afternoon pub peeps? Any Spanish lager knocking about? Can we have a Spanish theme night tomorrow and support Barca as they hopefully knock the Mancs out of the Champions League?

Morning pubworld
Looks like things got interesting around here after I dropped off last night!

REMEMBER YOU'RE A WOMBLE
The Wombles - 1974
When the sun doesn't shine and it's cloudy and gray
And it's only the beginning of the wombling day
And you've got to do the washing up for Madame Cholet
Chorus:
Remember, remember, remember, remember
Remember, remember, remember (member, member, member)
Remember you're a Womble
(Remember you're a Womble)
Remember you're a Womble
(Remember you're a Womble)
Remember you're a Womble
(Remember you're a Womble)
Remember you're a Womble
(Remember you're a Womble)
Remember, member, member, what a Womble, Womble, Womble you are
When it's foggy on the common and you just can't see
And I womble into you and you womble into me
Just remember we're so lucky to be wombling free
Fab lyrics eh?
But I prefer this one:
THE WOMBLING SONG
The Wombles
Underground, overground, wombling free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.
Making good use of the things that we find,
Things that the everyday folks leave behind.
Uncle Bulgaria,
He can remember the days when he wasn't behind the times,
With his map of the world.
Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory!
Wombles are organised, work as a team.
Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean.
Underground, overground, wombling free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we!
People don't notice us, they never see,
Under their noses a Womble may be.
We womble by night and we womble by day,
Looking for litter to trundle away.
We're so incredibly, utterly devious
Making the most of everything.
Even bottles and tins.
Pick up the pieces and make them into something new,
Is what we do!
Underground, overground, wombling free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.
Making good use of the things that we find,
Things that the everyday folks leave behind.
Must get a copy for the pub jukebox.
So am I and I love it , have a look at this Damart catalogue, there's some really sexy long johns in here in a really comfy winceyette
So how many teams have we got for Luton then? Is there enough for a Rampant Regulars team as well as the Buxom Barstaff?
I think we're at 6 definites and 3 maybes at the moment so probably a Rampant Regulars is a distinct possibility.
Thamls for the tip about Damart ... I'll check out their website .....
<sniffs>
liniment is one of my most favourite of words
avocado
honey
alabaster
I thought it was Deep Heat.
<this is plodders, isn't it?>
My favourite word? Cooldown!
Afternoon pub peeps? Any Spanish lager knocking about? Can we have a Spanish theme night tomorrow and support Barca as they hopefully knock the Mancs out of the Champions League?
I'll bring my maracas.....
I'll bring my Spaniard - we have a deal
Afternoon ST - how you doing? Hello Womble - we very rarely meet in here...
Hi LT - I'm fine, thank you. Up in London for a meeting this morning and back up in an hour for another one.
LB, we have plenty Spanish lager (and French, German, Mexican, Czech etc etc) to support your partisan thirst
How did Mr LB do in Boston?
Hello Womble.
He got a PB! Finished just behind the winner....
(Well, OK a bit more than that)
4.26.37 - not too shabby for a very hilly course!
Can't wait for him to come home now. Not very good at this single parent malarkey.....
Well done, Mr LB! Excellent result. When does he get home?
Blimey ST, the Smoke is calling you this week! Don't you get too run down now...
LB, that time is fantastic and awe-inspiring. Well done Mr LB!
