      Good boy John - did you do that by yourself or did matron help?

        Dear Mr Racisjy
        When we received your application (ref no 326) we were both pleased and also rather suspicious. Pleased because your photos clearly show that effort has been put in to reach the high standards membership demands. However there was also a feeling of unease in that this is the latest of a string of applications. All the previous applications showed various levels of order and tidiness and yet the improvements were not sustained and you lapsed quickly back into your old ways of chaos and disorder.
        In view of the above reservations the committee have decided on the following -
        - please submit photos of your bench on a monthly basis. These photos should be dated and show the bench from various angles
        - please also submit a statement from matron to the effect that your fire raising tendancies are under control and that the current medication is effective.
        - a phychiatric report that your obsession with the colour green is unlikely to become a danger to those around you.
        - you are willing to allow us to interview you in order to satisfy the committee that your interest in all things Russian is not a threat to national security. A member of M15 will be in attendance at that interview
        Membership at this time is therefore denied although we have high hopes for the future.
        Yours
        Sir Marmeduke Ponsonby Ffyfe - TBC membership secretary

        Please also ensure that you put a postage stamp on future correspondence as the TBC is not willing to continure to pay your postage costs.

                Rejected, yet again.:cold-sweat::cold-sweat::cold-sweat::cold-sweat::cold-sweat::disappointed::fearful: Damn and blast.


                Mrs R thinks we are all mad ! I replied yes we are, but some more than others.
                Seeing Matron during the week , she's currently on her way back from Pete Lows.

                  In this insane world it help to be mad :tongue-out3:

                  Pete - whilst that is indeed a tidy bench we, at the TBC, feel you just may have misunderstood the clubs aims.
                  Mark - you're in. Just the kind of organised bench we at the TBC welcome. You membership certificate will be forwarded on receipt of the membership fee which currently stands at £99.99. Cheques payable to Sir M P Ffyfe, c/o The Big and Bouncy Club, Soho, London.

                    My late Boss always used to say that ' a tidy desk showed that you didn't have enough work to do ' , consequently he never bothered me! :smiling3:
                    How do you find anything if it's tidy? Tidy means you've put it all away, into places you immediately forget. I work on the principle that 'it's on the desk, all you have to do is spot it' Not anarchy, but probably the closest I will ever come to that way of thinking!

                      Dear Sir.
                      Nowhere in your rules and regulations does it specify work bench. I just think you're one of these jobsworth people overly picky, as for Mr Race he has gone to a lot of trouble and time not to mention the cost. I know for a fact it took 15 boy scouts 12 1/2 hours at 2/6p an hour
                      to swap every corner.
                      Pete.

                          Nice one Mr. Race, love those magnetic holders for the tools on the wall:astonished:.

                          Too bad my bench is in lieu with Mr. Wards most of the year so no application from me Mr. R:upside:...

                            All the tools are visible, there's nothing in the draws except dreams. Nah not really but I group similar items together so that I remember where they came from, as long as my memory lasts. Now where's that glue bottle, who are you where am I, I give up .....
