Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper: June 2015
http://captaincustardatps.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Saturday, 27 June 2015. The daily commute has recently become significantly less stressful than it has been for a very long time, and this is due to the fact that I've started using the bus instead of driving. So the car was sold within 24 hours of advertising it and I made the switch to using the bus, leaving us with just the Civic that the wife and I can share. Granted, the bus is sometimes late, occasionally...

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper: Brain-dead bleach-blonde barbie dolls
http://captaincustardatps.blogspot.com/2015/08/brain-dead-bleach-blonde-barbie-dolls.html
Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Saturday, 15 August 2015. Brain-dead bleach-blonde barbie dolls. A couple of posts ago I very briefly touched on something with a reasonable amount of rant potential, and I now feel (in the absence of any other material) like giving the subject of Barbie doll wannabes a bit of an airing. Then comes the perfume. The preferred method for installing this would seem to be with either a well-trained crop-duster ...

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper: Out with the old, in with the old
http://captaincustardatps.blogspot.com/2015/06/out-with-old-in-with-old.html
Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Thursday, 18 June 2015. Out with the old, in with the old. Every so often something in life confuses the hell out of me, and it's not unusual for that something to involve some sort of trend - especially if that trend relates to fashion. While some fashions may admittedly be accompanied by quiet approval, particularly if they include such key features as short hems or low necklines, most simply leave me bemused.

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper: August 2015

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Monday, 31 August 2015. We're all going on a bank holiday. I've just seen on the news that Kanye West reckons he's going to run for president in 2020. After having a movie star in the form of Ronald Reagan as president, will the American voters really sink to the depths of having an ageing rapper with an ego the size of a planet in the White House? Not that we need look to the US for signs of this of course.

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper: Anything I can do for yourself today at all?

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Wednesday, 5 August 2015. Anything I can do for yourself today at all? A hundred years ago, England was an industrial powerhouse. Our engineering was world class, with Germany our most serious competitor, and the products churned out by the endless supply of factories were generally of an enviable quality. People worked hard for long hours, took pride in their work, and kept the country rolling. The answer is t...

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper: Fantasy garage
http://captaincustardatps.blogspot.com/2015/06/fantasy-garage.html
Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Friday, 19 June 2015. Occasionally there arises some sort of discussion during tea-break at work that makes you ponder something in greater depth than the usual throw-away comments and piss-taking. Nothing too deep and meaningful (we're blokes after all) but enough to get the grey matter ticking over. In this case the question was simply what five cars would you choose to be in your dream lottery-win garage?

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper: Straight ahead, turn right at the tank
http://captaincustardatps.blogspot.com/2015/07/straight-ahead-turn-right-at-tank.html
Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Friday, 10 July 2015. Straight ahead, turn right at the tank. The further away from Bridlington we went, the more pleasant the surroundings became until we arrived in Pickering and quickly located the cottage that was to be our base for the next few days. On arrival, we paid our entry fee at the gate and, directing us to the car park, the woman said "Go straight ahead, turn right at the tank". It occurred t...

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper: February 2015

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Thursday, 26 February 2015. Bacon doesn't grow on trees. The other evening we sat down to watch an episode of the BBC's series 'A Cook Abroad', where some celebrity chef effectively gets an all-expenses-paid holiday somewhere interesting where they get to indulge in and talk about the local food and drink. Not that I'm in any way jealous of course. So where's the problem with that? People like meat, but as soon...

Captain Custard And The Pigeon Supper. The random ramblings of a cynical middle-aged engineer. Sunday, 26 July 2015. The other day I posted on Facebook a plea for the loan of a chainsaw so I could take down a couple of trees in the back garden in preparation for the installation of a new fence. Any offers? Big Trak was a vehicle that you could program to carry out a series of manouvres using the keypad on the back, whereas 'My Little Pony' did fuck all. While the girls spent time playing hopscotch and si...
