CC if you think I am going to scratch build a 1/72 Zeppelin and then set fire to it, you are madder than Mad Mac McMelchett, @general melchett's not so much talked about cousin and winner of this year's Much Snivelling-in-the-Swamp all comers Village Fruitcake competition. (Word is that Lady M was particularly upset when her entry of a particularly succulent and large bara brith was disqualified on the grounds that it was not that sort of fruitcake competition.)

Mrs Martian has just informed me that we can consider the project cancelled as she is not having me set fire to hydrogen in, or anywhere near Martian Towers. The nearest she considers remotely safe is the Naughty Corner and we don't want to go upsetting CC do we? I mean, he would be homeless, if not a little singed.

Just as well that a Martian year is 687 days long then. Fewer birthdays to celebrate. Then again it does make you twice as old than you think you are.......

Fortunately I have a cunning plan to at least delay the evil day. I will be spending the week in the Gwaun Valley in the Prescilli Hills in Pembrokeshire. The valley is the last place on mainland Britain to still use the old Julian Calendar, they obviously use the normal Earthling calendar outside the valley. However, if I don't leave the valley, the 13th December will only be 30th November, thus delaying the evil day by a whole thirteen of your Earth days. Smug of Mars 👽 PS: On a more serious note, internet connection in the valley is very hit and miss so I may be out of touch for the next week. @general melchettwill be in charge in my absence. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not expecting to be very compos mentis by the end of the day. There will be dire consequences if I am! I like the 40 bit of your post. Sadly it's the big 60.

You should see what I'm like at the start of the day especially on the Sunday morning at Telford. I was once described as having the complexion of German WW1 lozenge camouflage, well, the purple and green bits anyway. Where's that foaming at the mouth emoticon?
