    I think you've been accused of being a doddery old fool in a dubious
    relationship with your sisters and really needs the support of social
    services.

    That's how I read it; certainly worthy of your own tom-moore website.

    Either that or Lozzo isn't entirely sure what apposite means or is using
    it in a hitherto unknown context.

  4. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember Salad Dodger
    WooHoo! That was a shit year for savings. Fortunately, by that time the
    flared trouser craze was on the wane.

    People seem to think I can find my way. That's the only explanation I can
    think of for me staying ahead of the pack.

    I don't mean a pocket compass: I mean like caravan owners stick on their
    dashboards. It's not the compass bit that's a problem, but the mounting.

    Uh oh...
    Before you know it, you'll be looking for a nodding dog
    for your top box, a scented pine tree shaped piece of
    card and some fluffy dice to hang from you screen.
    Not sure if you could fit a "Verdigris" sun shade sticker
    thingie across the screen on a tigger though.

    Instead of silly ears or a Mohican for my helmet, I want a stick-on trilby
    and pipe. :)

    heh. I went to a hill climb run by the vintage car club at Prestbury?
    Near cheltenham a few years back. This old geezer turned up on one of
    those old square tanked Doubglas'. Complete with leather pilot WWII
    style helmet, handlebar moustache, and a huge sherlock holmes style
    pipe in his gob. He was sat in the queue of cars waiting to pay to get in,
    just puffing away contentedly on his pipe. Looked superb.
