X Factor and long live Ant And Dec

Sunday morning, Milk and Toast arrived at approx 9am, they were later today as we were not bound for the Booty, but a nice jaunt to Inverness for the morning.

Milk was suffering from A.A.D. (Acute Awareness Disorder) on the journey he was observing things as if they were new but in fact they were not.
He observed a piece of deforestation on the black isle, which was approx 2years old; he also observed the immense growth of the roundabout shrubbery at Tore,
next he exclaimed Christ !! Where did that appear from, over there, I never noticed that before, it was a house and buildings which were there for at least 15 years

This seemed to spark Toast off, did you see that sign back there it had holes in it, he exclaimed, I said no I did not see it, was it a target for a shotgun I enquired, no no he replied they were rectangular holes cut out for something. We will never know.

Because of all this observing, Milk drove straight to Tescos, and bypassed Morrisons , but we are here now, and you will have to chance a breakfast, he informed us.

We arrived at the café, Milk hovered near the food counter for 20 seconds, then shot off and purchased a pre packed muffin and tea, leaving Toast and I to swither over the cooked products, this turned out to be a rather hurried affair with an over efficient serving wench, I think she was of managerial material and only standing in for the usual inefficient serving staff.

The breakfast was mediocre, with look warm food, and poor Toast was the recipient of a rather foul sausage, in taste and texture.
The conversation was riveting as we all joined in and discussed the fantastic light entertainment viewing on TV on Saturday evening.

Trays were left on the table in silent protest.

Milk kindly assisted me, and risked receiving a hernia, by carrying half a hundredweight sack of bird seed to the car, this was slightly marred by him trying to shut my head in the boot.

Toast had problems trying to find a suitable wood paint for his windows in Homebase, I suggested Butinox 2 or similar product ,but after enquiries they did not stock this,but the have had several enquiries in the past, and directed us to another paint supply outlet, who should have this in stock.

Milk purchased yet another TV stand and aerial, and intended assembling this flat pack product in the afternoon, now knowing all the pitfalls.

That was it, we headed home, yet another great Sunday morning out.

I can report that the tv stand was constructed in roughly one hour. Unfortunately I didn't have a drill to make a hole for the drawer handle, there was a hole but it was just countersink.. why didn't they drill it right through? Using my technical skills I gently tapped a panel pin through, then I got a screw and gently screwed it through. Or that's what I should have done. Instead I hammered the screw threw using a pair of pliers (I have no hammer) and it burst through to the veneered side make a right old mess. I am going to have to find a big dodder of a handle to hide the area now.

Ahh !!!!!
The old pliers and panel pin trick,
and hammering through to a veneered surface,and the painful bursting out,you would think all it had to do, was just pop through being of such a small diameter,but ohh!!! no it had to burst through like an armour piercing shell.
learning all the time.

You should write in to Ant and Dec! Every week they could give you a flat pack to assemble at the begining of the show with your limted toolkit. Then they would laugh at your pathetic efforts at the shows end. You would have the last laugh though as you became the newest rubbish celeb, a bit like that wifey who can't drive. The nons would love it! You would then get your own do it yersel show on a freeview channel.
