Specially for RMJ

But anyone can have a guess

I'M NOT A FISHING POLE
A metal tube quite long and thin
My function seems surreal
Along my body coming in
I'm bringing quite a reel
Just cast me out into the waves
And leave me standing tall
I'll bring in catches that you crave
Unless I'm foiled by squalls
To find the perfect spot, explore
Shun ghosts, avoid the snow
It's best if you can monitor
What's going on below
I'll try to grab you with a hook
And lines that hold you tight
Designed to draw a longing look
Be careful should you bite

What am I

Blimey, thinking caps on

Morning RMJ. Something for you to ponder on your walk.You may see quite a few when out and about. That's all I'm saying for now

A very Good Morning.

So, something outside, but nothing to do with the sea or any water methinks.

there are some inside, but mainly outside. Nothing to do with water.

A long metal tube outside suggests s TV aerial, which fits in with ‘Just cast me out into the waves’.
But it doesn’t fit with ‘I'll try to grab you with a hook, And lines that hold you tight’.
‘Unless I’m spoiled by squalls’ and ‘avoid the snow’ suggest doesn’t work in bad weather.

With no great confidence I’ll go for TV Aerial.

Yes its an aerial

Wow!!!!!!, didn't expect that, thought it was a long shot.
Still don't understand the 'hooks'.

Just brewed 20 litres of Chardonnay, supposed to be 'oak aged' but I leave the sachet of oak chippings out preferring it 'un-oaked.
Any road, looking forward to supping it in just over 2 weeks time.

You could try putting a roll of Izel bog roll in and make your own Retsina

LOL

Retsina is something that I haven't tried NM.

I usually say that I will sup owt, but much prefer to drink Vino Collapso these days,

can't hold the volume that beer requires.

I'm currently working my way through a batch of Rose, which is very nice indeed.

How many words from these letters can you make

Two children, who were all tangled up in their reckoning of the days of the week, paused on their way to school to straighten matters out. "When the day after tomorrow is yesterday," said Priscilla, then 'today' will be as far from Sunday as that day was which was 'today' when the day before yesterday was tomorrow!"

On which day of the week did this puzzling prattle occur?

You've just worn me out doing the anagrams!!!!! LOL

You did well RMJ.

Thank you.

Your 'day-of-the-week puzzle is a real yedwarcher!!!!!!!

Let's hope myg joins us LOL!!!!!

I’ve had a real think about this.

The first part of the puzzle reads;-
"When the day after tomorrow is yesterday,"
The day after tomorrow is 2 days in front, and yesterday is one day behind, so I make that 3 days difference or apart.
The rest is unfathomable, I just can’t get my head round it.
Myg, please pay us a visit!!!!

The day is Sunday They were going to Sunday school

See how many words you can make with these letters

Just back from our 'big shop' at Sainsbury's in Leyth.

Well played RMJ.

Two vehicles set off from the same point, at the same time, to travel the same 165 mile journey.

One of the vehicles travels at 45 mph and the other one travels at 35 mph.

How many minutes will there be between the arrival times of the two vehicles?

65 minutes

Nearly

Spoiler alert!!!!!!!!!!

I’m still getting used to this site.

165 miles at 45 mph = 3.666667 hours

165 miles at 35 mph = 4.7142857 hours

4.7142857 - 3.6666667 = 1.0476187 hours

1.0476187 hours = 63 seconds

I disagree, I may be wrong of course

Oh go on I'll give it to you
