The good morning thread

[Oneball]

Morning all. Yay Friday.

“Nedging” sounds like a dirty word!

Well that was very quaint and chocolate box pretty and so for the church next door and the whole village too!

Just very small, grade 2 listed and in a conservation area so no chance of planning permission to extend. Ticked so many boxes though.

The listed part would be a massive pita. Our next-door neighbour's house is listed, we dodged that bullet. Our lives are so much easier whenever we want to do anything.

I am sure @Crud will come up with an appropriate definition shortly ………….

Morning all

Coffee and emails followed by a call with investors on what should be an interesting acquisition opportunity for us.

I have a half day and if the rain stops I may make a start on fitting the stripes and logo’s on the Strad in preparation of LeMans.

Morning all, didn’t achieve much yesterday and probably won’t today. We do have a house viewing this afternoon, our first out of the county! It is in the Suffolk border village of Nedging Tye, another chocolate box thatched cottage, this one has a moat! Yes an actual moat with water! This would be a semi-retirement move if it happens.

Have fun all…

Looks nice, as long as you are not very tall.

Sounds like it used to be an edging tie, but gradually became a nedging tie (like a napron becoming an apron - but in reverse).

I'm pretty sure he will be needing some of these anyway.

Ngood nmorning, nall! Friday and somehow no meetings/events/activities this weekend beyond watching the Kentucky Derby at the house and hopefully fitting a new water temp sensor plug. Actually got the mowing done last night; nedging and ntrimming TBD.

It does sound like a dirty word but does in fact refer to the ancient art of gently rubbing one's posterior against the flanks of a bullock. The practice was believed to date from when bullocks were considered lucky and a good cure for piles, which were commonplace in the late middle ages due to poor quality toilet paper and not enough Alpen. In more enlightened times, after the invention of Andrex and Alpen, the practice continued as an art form, where the winner in village competitions was the one who could raise the biggest smile on the face of a bullock. 'Nedging Tye' in particular was named after a famous competition in the area when there were two winners and two happy bullocks.

Today I was mostly on calls where I did some world-class shouting and swearing at colleagues from countries that don't do ******* nuance.

And the prize goes to Mark; very low ceilings and tiny spaces. Glad to have seen it but can strike it off the list.

On top form I see

Another one to look at in East Burgholt on Tuesday and a revisit to the front runner in Great Sampford. The forma is Tudor and Hopefully won’t disappoint.

I think we are close to a decision and it should make life a little easier.

Any other spurious facts required, just let me know. I'm here for you, brother.

We went a'yomping in East Bergholt just the other weekend, Newton. The youngest plays cricket there. Gorgeous village, and a beautiful corner of the world.

G'night Dave et al. Maybe try some nedging and see if that gets you back to sleep and/or pregnant.

Good morning all. Saturday, Coronation, off out later with friends to the pub. F1, BTCC, British GT all tomorrow and Bank holiday Monday. Yep, that will do.

 

[CatmanV2]

Morning. Off to help put a marquee for later then Mrs C's Mum to watch the coronation. Then some bubbles and a BBQ I feel.

Have a good one, all

Good morning everyone, like Newton, off house hunting. Saw one with a double garage and a huuuuggggeee drive, rest of house was ok. Seeing one later out in Mottram which is dangerously close to Yorkshire but would be a great place for a Northern meet. Barbeque and meal with my brothers later, one has become a grandfather yesterday. Only 15 days overdue. Hopefully I'll get to see my niece and great nephew tomorrow.

Oh and Charlie gets his hat today.
