Be Excellent To Each Other

YOU'RE NOT CORNISH.

You're as bad as those rich white kids who think they're black. You're the Kernow equivalent of a wigger.

Stop denying me my rightful heritage. You're no better than Israel.

Anyroadup, I once build a Wellington bomber in about two hours.

I was dizzy with the smell of the cement by the end and glued the pilot in upside down.

Aside from the natty head gear, the main difference between you and the displaced Palestinians is that they used to live in Palestine.

YOU SEE MR BAM KI-MOON HE'S AT IT AGAIN! IT'S A STEP AWAY FROM NAPALM AND COLDPLAY IS NO DEFENCE AGAINST THAT NOW IS IT?

Maybe they'll let you in to their club if you bomb a holiday cottage. Or just glare at tourists in the local pub in Portscatho.

Cornwall.



Cornish.

Don't go to the Roseland in the summer. They put the King harry ferry prices up, too.

Just humour him, it's the safest bet. Or he'll break out the pasties and the black and white flag and start singing "oh flower of Scotland" or whatever the Cornish anthem is.

I think it's "Who the Fuck is Alice?".

Nice comment from one of his mates



He just needs to add, 'Have you still got that China White I ordered?'

"Keep your mouth shut while you're in there or you'll regret coming out".

Don't they sing songs about Bishop Trelawny? Something to do with them needlessly marching towards That London before quitting halfway and going home.

I might buy a model aeroplane to make this evening as MrsA is out.I dunno which one, though. model shop in town has a good selection. I have already looked for a Wellington Bomber.

Good grief. Is he gay as well?

Avoid Airfix kits, as they're shit. Revell, Hasegawa, Academy and Italeri are much better. Tamiya is tops, but ridiculously expensive.

Any recommendations?

EDIT: I'm walking into town in a bit, applied for 10 jobs so far today so want the exercise.

Who cares as long as the glue gets you off your nut?

The Revell 1:72 WW2 series are quite cheap (5 or 6 quid for a Spitfire or whatever), but brilliant quality. You'll spend much more on the paints.

I forgot about paints. If only there were a set of basic paints to pick up for cheaps.

Might get this and construct a small civilian airport on my desk.

Those Revells are shit. I always get them stuck in my throat.

R05433 Pirate Ghostship of course

Ha - I think that's identical to my radio controlled one, even down to the serial number.

I figured I'd only need white, red and black paints, then....

Plus various shades of silver and grey for the engine. And brown and green and whatnot for the cockpit.


The revell paints are only £1 a tin, so it's not that bad. Plus you get to use them again on the next model.

I presume the suggested paint codes are placed dorsally on the packaging of the model?

IIRC, Revell only stick the basic colours for the exterior on the packgeing. Hust open the thing up and get the instructions out.

Or try the Revell website.

as you ar a pirate (retired), one of these..

No wonder they sank so often, what with having those huge box things attached to the keel.

Weekend just gone, I stripped a 1920s oak bedside cabinet back to bare wood and rewaxed it. It looks brilliant. I can't believe that Mrs K senior let Mrs K paint the bloody thing blue when she was a kid.

Also, got hold of my massive box of Lego from the folks' place. So. Much. Fun.

First Born asked me to build a racing truck that we had the instructinos for. I started it, and was about to build the cab and put the spoiler bit on the back, and he said "no daddy, it needs a box on the back for putting things in. I'll make it". So he duly builds a little block on the back, making a neat little panel van with no cab. Bed time rolls around, and First Born puts the truck (which he's spent all afternoon playing with) in the new castle and says "Daddy, you mustn't touch it. It's safe in the castle from you so leave it alone and don't make it into a racing truck. It's mine, not yours".

I may have been interfering with earlier projects a little, on reflection.

Yes, there's a point at which 'Please build me a car' changes to 'Let me do it!'

Say lavvie.

Indeed. However, I'm a little chagrined that he thought I'd sneakily change it to how I wanted it while he was in bed.

This morning when he came downstairs and found his truck he said "Daddy! You didn't change it! You're a good boy."

But were you tempted to do such a thing?

My father thinks an antique, Japanese laquerwork cabinet that belonged to a great aunt may well have been coated with white gloss and used as a cupboard in a shed of a cousin of his. I think he's still quietly fuming about that, 30 years later.

I asked Mrs Grim... to pass me some kitchen towel or something while I was painting and the Grimlet pipes up with "What do you say, daddy?".

Yes



Hahahah, yeah. First Born's current favourite is "pardon you daddy".

The New Pornographers are bloody marvellous. 'Mass Romantic' remains both my favourite album and song by them though.

So... I'm being made redundant.

I've been given a leaving date of the end of the month but I'm taking gardening leave this Friday.

Who'd like to come to my leaving do?

Bah, sorry to hear that, Vision. What do you do?

Don't tell Dimrill but I work in marketing.

Sorry to hear that, The Vision. Hopefully something will line up for you soon. Fingers crossed.

I hope you find something soon... I am really sorry to hear about teh redundancy

Sorry to hear that.

Really sorry to hear that.

Managing to forget this, I bought an Airfix Hawker Typhoon 1b with paint, paintbrush and glue for £7. It's taken me an hour to build it and the pieces don't really fit together very well. Quite pleased though, first one in 20 years....

Hello from Sweden.

"Hej"

>insert jokes about cats , snuff , and shouldnt you be <item> deep right now<

Hello.

'How's the fishing?'

Sadly, unlike Nickachu, I am here with work. Have spent the day sat in a shed in a forest clearing 10 miles N of Umea. Fortunately, it was really sunny. Wednseday, rain is due, it will be miserable. No wonder everyone kills themselves over here.
