Morning coop, how are you?

Bloody knackered and it is only Monday, racked up 21 hours of overtime in the last week, with lots more to come this week too, I really need a rest!

Not many around now, sadly. Here's an old fiddle I found:



And I had another postcard from Fiddler McTavish at the weekend:

Is Combe McAndy near Combe Martin?

No. We fell out. Difference of artistic opinion. (Or something.)

I know the bloke that owns Watermouth Harbour.

Watermouth is the next village to Coombe Martin.

Is it King George? The Monarch owns the tidal margin so just wondering if you missed the '52 coronation

Hello...that is all

[Bomma220]

Hello? Who was that?

[Nik da Greek]

Appears I was right to be trepidatious about the MOT. Seems the only thing holding on the trailing arm knuckles currently is rust . Oh, and the exhaust rubbers are perished Oddly, though he noticed the rubbers, he didn't notice that this meant the exhaust has been knocking against the Watts link crossbar and worn through.

Oh well, there's really only one solution to this. And it invlives Bombay Spapphire

Everyone, meet one of the Senior Members; Chim.

I'll check, but I think he may be one of the hallowed Page 1 Crew.

[Jim AK]

Maybe Penrose would like to pick a fight with Chim?

fking Pelican!!

[Bomma220]

Penrose has had a quiet day today. He's in his bunker now watching Full Metal Jacket.

[Jim AK]

Thought he had been buggering about with a CD player he had stolen from an open top Fiat.

Don`t know about a full metal jacket, straight jacket I could understand.

fking Pelican!!

Full Metal Jacket was filmed near me. Went there in the jeep and had a mosey around - there's a complete full size Iraqi stockade and checkpoint there complete with zig zag accesses, caissons to 5m high all round and sand (!) all used for exercises.

and....

..... the old peri track and hardstandings partly overgrown. One is a bit less overgrown and was for this very aeroplane in WW2:



It's awesome to stand there at the disused back of the old airfield and think back to what it must have been like there in 1943. There's a field next to the hardstanding so just like the pre takeoff scene with the farmer etc. So much history. The full crew signed the wall in The Eagle in Cambridge and also The Swan in Lavenham. Also the ceiling in one of our local pubs but it's been painted over.
