I do think it is probably only on this thread that I'd get away with a photo that size

I see your teapot and raise you a teahouse / service station.

Is there such a creature that is a station that will actually give you service anymore?

The caravan park I used to live at as a kid used to charge an extra 5c a litre for fuel but offered full service where you didn't have to get out of your car, cleaned your windscreen and checked your oil and tire pressures while you waited. They had a whole team of teenagers who acted like a finely tuned pit crew. People used to come in and buy $10 (top-up) with fuel and receive the same service. Often the kids would receive a tip because there service was so fast and they were so polite.

Now the I think about it I haven't found a service station in years. There all called Annexes now where they hide behind glass and scan shopper dockets.

A Service Station near where I used to live in Woollarah (Sydney Eastern Suburbs) trialled "Driveway Service" a few years ago which was meant to be just filling the car and washing the windscreen. Then they had to add a disclaimer to the sign explaining that it didn't extend to filling the tires, checking the level of engine fluids etc. Eventually they just did away with it. Obviously not worth the hassle for them.

Sadly I have been wrong all this time. For so long I thought it was about "The Journey" but it is actually about "The numbers".

Because I'm not good at pissing contests I'm off.

Appreciated the friendship and laughs.

Hooroo Gurus.

Guys I have no idea what you crazy guys are on about but Please don't pack up your bat and ball and go home.

Just because I don't post in your threads doesn't mean that I don't take a peek. And a special teapot thread might be good - I am amazed at some of the photos.

I think we should have crazy threads and serious threads.

Surely there is something for everybody on GCA forum.

Sorry to hear Bronze has left us

Today I'm a yesterday person as yesterday I was a today person, today I'm just older.

Perhaps if we're particularly silly, Bronze will come back. So here goes:

(thanks to the Monty Python team - I would never ever try and steal your stuff!)

"And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high saying, 'Oh, Lord! Bless this thy Hand Grenade! That thou mayest blow thy enemies to tiny bits! In thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and orang-utans and breakfast cereals and carp and anchovies and-

Skip a bit brother...

And the Lord spake saying, "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin! Then shalt thou count to three! No more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three...FIVE is RIGHT OUT! Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it!"

Amen.
