Egg boiling competition..

[Grockle]

..BBC Manchester have just asked me to judge the above at the Bridgewater Hall in Mancester,tomorrow night,held every other year,free scoff and taxi from Piccadiliy Station and bus back to Nottingham.

Stuart Hall who normally judges it has become allergic to eggs!.

I'll also have great veiw of Matlock Iluminations from the bus on the return leg,and hopefully Crich chippy will still be open for a Meat and Potato pie with mushy peas and gravy washed down with a bottle of Whites famous drink Dandelion and Burdock.

Just wondering if I need to take my own tablespoon for the judging,I'll ring Stuart,I hope he doesn't think I'm 'poaching' his job :eek: Ta ta.

[Grockle]

Well what a night!, there had been some skulduggery going on,some of the eggs had been tampered with the security man Harold Trubberty(95) heard a buzzing noise whilst eating his packed lunch,egg and cress cobs,I thought it abit insensitive of him seeing what he was looking after,anyway back to the buzzing noise,on further delving into the boxes we found tiny holes had been drilled in some of the eggs rendering them dangerous to the offical boilers incase an explosive of somesort had been injected into them.

The Greater Manchester Police,Fire and Rescue(Lower Mossley St(blue watch) and a traffic warden who was just being nosey,ushered us all into the downstairs toilet of nextdoor a 'Pound shop' who's owner Ivan Clydside said he'd never had so many customers making everyone buy some thing I got a bottle Tizer(I'm sure there only 75p in the Co-oP) any way were stiil there whilst the Royal Logistics Corp Bomb Disposal team do a controlled explostion.

I bet Crich chippy will have closed by the time they let us out,someone will be left with egg on there face after this,wonder if I'll still get my fee?

The've just let us out,god the smell of going off eggs was seeping through the airvent into the toilet,at first Gladys Crabtree thought it someone farting and kept tutting loudly,so we put one of the competitors Gordon McCracken who was a sleep and pushed him up against the vent(he'd come all the way from Inverie in Scotland with his dog Spider 11 by narrow boat 'Lovley Haggis' which is moored in the canal basin at Salford Keys),his genuine Arran sweater will be ruined(I hope it's insured fully comp).

We are now being fingerprinted and having our DNA checked(just procedure said the desk Sgt)seems abit much to me,the bomb diposal guys were a real laugh blowing up all the eggs for the hell of it,you should see the mess,there was even bits of egg on the best seats on the balcony
(£25.00 per cushion)

NM I've got your Humpty Dumpty egg cup but he's missing an ear do to the explosions!, the bus is here, ta ta.

Fine looking specimen there INWC:)

[Hoges]

a somewhat eggsistential offering from the Vic. Egg Board no less! My childhood recollection of growing up in Melb was that in its heyday it was quite vocal and highly political. ;)

[Grockle]

Was that you hanging of the cliff in the Morrie?:wasntme: Did you do the bedroom scenes?:angel:

No Ian, I was the wardrobe in the first four episodes, then I did the 'old mac and beret' wearing routine from the first up to and including episode nine,were I had to fall under a Routemaster just missing the nearside rear wheels.

I was asked to do all the bedroom scenes by Michele Dotrice herself,but she had bad breath and a strange smell about her simular to that of a book from a damp library, her real husband was 'The Equalizer' (Edward Woodward)and I didn't want to get equalized!.I met him once at a RADA do one wet Wednesday afternoon,after afew drinks he thought he really was the Equalizer shouting "down on the floor"to which I told him in no uncertain terms no way was I getting on any floor,I got a standing ovation from the other actors and actoress's,Michele then led him away to the toilet to be billious !
