Was it "Euclid" or Carol Vorderman I meant to say
The Sunday morning trip to Inverness got off to a slow start for me, I was in the latter stages of the wakening up process when Milk and Toastboy arrived, and I did not have enough time to complete my ablutions.
We arrived at nourishing, and placed our breakfast orders, Milk opting once again for the toasted "bamcake" "balmcake" "schmalmcake" which was cut up into small and delicate pieces for his discerning palette.
Toast and I went for the flying start breakfast, which was once again served on small saucers, I watched as Toastboy carefully regulated the salt output carefully with his finger covering approx 90% of the salt cellar holes, he was making sure that he was not going to be caught out again with the over application of this condiment.
Milk did not dissappoint us, he once again went into a "Wheres the milk rant" when he arrived at the table minus his Milk quota.
How many milks did you get ? where are they ? I thought they were at the cuttlery area, No said Toastboy they are at the serving counter. I am sure the were over there when I got them last he muttered, He quitened down when I offered him one of mine,and all was well.
Towards the end of the breakfast Toastboy asked "Milk" would you like me to get you a milk, yes he said, Toast turned to me ,and I also replied yes, now Toast said is that One milk or Two,
Milk looked up and said "Magnus Pike" and I slowly looked up and queried this, you know Magnus Pike said Milk, flailing one arm over the table in a semi circular motion, Yes I said, I know who he is but what is the relevance to Toastboys question. Ohh!!!! I maybe have got the wrong person or the wrong Magnus, or maybe it should have been Einstein. I found this whole conversation hilarious.
All this was in earshot of three SAS type diners at the table opposite,Toastboy wondered what must they think of us.
We continued the morning shopping and browsing,and Milk kindly transported me to Autosave and Halfords in the quest for a suitable cleaning brush for alloy wheels,this actually turned out to be not as simple as it sounds, size and texture prooved to be a bit of a problem, but I finally purchased one,after fondling various shapes and sizes, only to find on my return home that it was useless,texture fine,but size does matter, in this case too f...ing big.

I am Dr. Magnus Pike. I appeared from 1974 - 1978 in the show "Don't Ask Me". Each week three experts tackled viewer's queries about science and the everyday world. The panel, chaired by Derek Griffiths, consisted of nutrition expert me Dr. Pike, botanist David Bellamy, and doctor Miriam Stoppard. From 1979 - 1980 the show was re-named "Don't Just Sit There". I don't know how many milks Milk requires. Didn't he say the other week that he did not imbibe until late evening?
Big thanks to the mighty Plum Tomato for supplying me with some genuine 3M earplugs. I managed to get a good sleep last night without hearing next door dropping pins until the early hours.
Toastboy,pleased to hear it, you are very welcome,
I was one of the SAS types sitting next to you at Morrisons. If I knew Toastboy, my biggest fan, was sitting next to me I would have introduced myself. Anyways, a big HI to Toast and to answer all your letters; No, I don't like Bon Jovi or Iron Maiden.
