I turned fifty five today, Prs.P5B gave me some more car books (she says two more are on their way....oops) whilst my youngest sister brought round three Toblerones and a bottle of plonk.
Birthday bonus : tonight's job has just been cancelled but I have to keep my phone on ''just in case''..... it's Tobelrone time, but the plonk will have to keep until the weekend...!
Happy Birthday P5BNij!!! Birthday bonus : tonight's job has just been cancelled but I have to keep my phone on ''just in case''..... it's Tobelrone time, but the plonk will have to keep until the weekend...!

Ta chaps!!
No problem. I’m quietly smug at the moment. For another three months I’m still in my forties. 
I've been watching drag racing again!!!
Not the sort with blokes dressed in heels and dresses running down a catwalk, the sort with fast cars leaving 11s as they scream down a strip!!!!
Although i must admit i may yet watch some of the former later just for fun!!!

What do you watch that on bobbers?
Which one S&M? Most things are available on YouTube, but the drag racing cars i watch are via YouTube on a channel called 1320Video, they've just covered last week the Race Week2.0 which is a different version od the Rocky Mountain race week, this time round it was five drag strips separated by 1300+ miles and the cars must be driven between tracks!!! Absolutely brutal, and the overall winner was turning in low 7 second passes at each track!!!!!P5BNij said:

Your sister bought you round Toblerones? Birthday bonus : tonight's job has just been cancelled but I have to keep my phone on ''just in case''..... it's Tobelrone time, but the plonk will have to keep until the weekend...!
They are scarce, man, really, like, scarce.
Happy Birthday.

Have a train! In a York museum I believe.
It's not a train, it's an engine or locomotive..a train is one of those with some carriages hooked on the back - PH - pedantry matters Anyway, yes, York Railway museum, LMS Coronation class pacific, in my view the most amazing looking steam loco ever, Unfortunately the streamlining was completely useless, added lots of weight and made maintenance access to the dirty bits more difficult so they removed it after a few years. 70 years later they put it back on so we could see what it looked like when new - a completely pointless waste of money, it doesn't run, only good for looking at and therefore, in PH terms, a very worthwhile job!
With my 100% lack of ability with foreign languages I find that looking as though I'm trying is better than just speaking English loudly and slowly. So I thought I could at least put an email to Johnny Foreigner in a letter style he would appreciate.
Leiber Herr Deutscheperson perhaps to start, that sort of thing, then do the main text in English and sign off in German style. To show I'm doing my pitifully inadequate best. That's the plan. So, on to Google to see how it's done.
Es ist nicht einfach, oder?
Höllenfeuer
