Picture(s) of the day....

Indeed I was before I responded to your post but now I fear the answer will be lost forever in my wake as I cruise endlessly into space with just my paranoid android for company!!

I just wonder whether it was a waste of time for the research scientist who, in an attempt to answer one of the greatest questions in pub philosophy, ordered from Amazon a chicken and an egg?

Regards Neil

I believe that order was made when DPD were delivering for Amazon and as a result he received two chickens and learnt nothing!!

[Hell Razor5543]

A chicken and an egg were in bed together. The chicken lit a cigarette and said "Well, that answers THAT old question".

To start the New Year on POTD, I have to say I can't see much difference to last year:

Own work

[myglaren]

Best I can do for a New Year's Day.


Otherwise I would need to move from my chair.

[CitroJim]

is that Scotch?

I planned a very lazy day today and got so fed up and bored of just sitting in my chair listening to the wireless and looking at social media I got up and carried on working on Daffodil

You dont mind me shoving it over on the New Years Day Pphoto's thread do you Steve. The thread expires at midnight then its back to ordinary POTD

is that Scotch?

It is. JW have IMO rather cynically leapt onto the GoT bandwagon, stuck a fancy label on and doubled the price. There are several levels that correspond to the red, black and blue normal labels.

Bought a bottle of red in Tesco - (half price) as I was there to buy a posher scotch for my son (which was also half price but they didn't have it, went for Dalwhinney instead (also half price) - to compare, once I get motivated to open it.
First time I have used my Tesco Club Card. Only go there a couple of times a year - yesterday made it three times

With that blue/white label I keep expecting it to be Vodka. No, I didn't buy it. Christmas present.

Ahh! All become clear now

Seen on my run this morning...

One of our delivery robots up and about very early...

As I trundled, lonely as the moon, around Paggers...

They have quite efficient headlights too

That's different Jim. Never seen one of those close up. Could be a lunar rover or something.

I love the little orange beacon on its aerial... A nice touch

My 5000th post has arrived much to my amazement, the New Year's Day thread has gobbled up a fair few posts!! So it is time for my customary car celebratory picture but as it is a more significant milestone I have had a good look for a suitable vehicle. Without doubt the Ford Motor Company offer up a very wide choice of 5 litre engined cars from the Model A:

BFTW

and the 100E

BFTW

and 105E

BFTW

through the Zephyr

BFTW

and even the dayvan

BFTW

to the Capri

BFTW

and of course the Infamous GT40

BFTW

But is a Ford really suitable for a celebration?
Well there are some quirky options like:

BFTW

or the Jeep Renegade

BFTW

and the supercars offer many choices like:

BFTW

and my favourite

BFTW

But all in all , at the end of the day.....etc there is only one which is truly worthy of celebratory status even though I couldn't get in one if you gave it to me
For sheer loony celebratory delight it has to be

BFTW

So make your own choice and celebrate with me, all I can say is thanks to everybody for putting up with me so long!!

Apologies to Neil for stealing his idea below but I liked it so much I tried to buy the company and they sent me this sample to exaggerate my celebrations:

Own creation from a borrowed image

In the world of Northumbrian Tractor Brag this would be known as 3-4-5 stottin'. I suspect only beaten by a very unlikely prial of 3's.

Have a Ford 5000 tractor! Well done on your 5,000 posts.
