Three o' clock
Road Block, road block

What do you mean too early to start drinking?

You can fast forward time quite effectively with a nap.

What do you mean too early to start drinking?

I think he must mean 3am

I'm about to start glossing skirting.

With a beer.

Should go well.

I'd probably use a brush but each to their own.

Or even paint. Radical.

Jean Paul Sartre once said that "Three o clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do". He's a proper philosopher and everything so it must be true.

I think he must mean 3am

3am is still drinking time, post kebab stop.

I'm at work...it's too late to start anything but too early to look like I've started to pack up.

So I'm on here eating a late lunch!

That's a euphemism I've not heard before....

Then you'll possibly like the card I got today.

Rubbish! If by three o’clock you really haven’t got anything of the things left to do that I have to get through before making tea for everyone, pop round here and muck in and I’ll go and on I off 50 miles in my bike.

Then we’ll both be happy and have earned a beer after.

Or maybe just start drinking now? After all I’m too broken to be allowed on a bicycle for a good few weeks. And you wouldn’t enjoy doing my chores (although doing them with one arm is worse - broken collarbone).

Seems that beer is the answer.

That's a perfect opportunity missed to thank you for trimming her bush.

3 in the afternoon today was absolutely awesome for me.
I was sat up in the East Stand at Elland Road and being surprisingly emotional at after 17 years seeing my team play in the top tier again 🤗
Shame about the result but apart from that it was a great afternoon
M.O.T

Clearly a man who's good with his hands.....

For full disclosure, I was out for a walk the other week and came across a retired woman struggling to keep the back of her patch under control. She was doing her best by hand so I offered to help out, as anyone would.

I went home, grabbed my tools, came back and properly destroyed her bush. I was enjoying myself so much I even offered to take care of her surrounding areas that she hadn't tackled for years.

We really had a good time. She was doing her best by hand but the addition of my battery powered tools had us both making light work of her back garden and we were clapped out and sweating by the end of the afternoon.

So after a few weeks had passed, when I spotted her today and asked how she was, she thrusted a couple of bottles into me, along with card, which you've seen.

wot, no clematis comments ?

Bearnecessecities needs to change his user name to "youngman"

Or "The 3pm Bushman" ?

Three in the afternoon ?, yeah no probs. Been filling panel pin holes in some window sills, next to be sanded flush and then onto the painting in a nice light sage colour.

Long dark teatime of the soul. Innit

Douglas Adams
"In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness which starts to set in at about 2:55, when you know that you've had all the baths you can usefully have that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the papers you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the long dark teatime of the soul."

Afternoon tea at 3 0'clock.
Scones, jam, clotted cream, Jersey butter, tiny crustless sandwiches with salmon and cucumber, egg and cress and thick cut dry cured ham with a good English mustard and piping hot tea in china cups and saucers.
Reality: Running behind with jobs, wondering what on earth to have for tea (North), dinner (South). Realising the washing up is still there from yesterday and there is still a pile of chores, when all we want is to look forward to an evening of slobbing around in 2 hours.

I’d probably use a brush but each to their own

😂 Well played!
