My first car was a '77 Mini 1000 but the first car I ever drove was a 3.0 Granada which had been taken in as part ex at the same garage. It was the same colour as the Sweeney 3.0 Consul GT 'NHK 295M', and I almost reversed it into a parked Transit van when my foot slipped off the clutch!
My old thing was a bright green 3.0 Ghia automatic. Had a green interior too, special order from Ford apparently. Looked like a flying billiard table it did.It went like a Priest out of a brothel though. When I got round to having a proper look at it, it had a Holley carb and tubular headers on it.
Lovely old thing. Swapped it for a Fern Grey 4.2 XJC, lovely thing that was too.
Glad I got rid of it when I did though. It'd be worth bugger all now

Baldocks to the lorra yer
Could you give us some help with this ship of yours? The sodding thing's stuck on a bend now, the fella behind is in a rental launch and keeps honking his horn at us.It wouldn't be so bad but there's some people from the Environment Agency on board now asking if I have a rod licence.
I'm handing over the watch now..
Night night Trivialistas.
I'm off to bed: early start tomorrow, many things to do before I set off for the Baldocks Ballsup.
Should be trundling through Wenden Sambo just before 13:00 hrs
It's only a minor diversion, so why the hell not???
It's interesting where some small deviations can take you...

I'm afraid I've only got a short one, about five foot two she is.
I'm not a company director nor powerfully built, she does love me though. Despite the fact that I'm a looney.
She has a day off work today, we're off to do some shopping. Only a bit of food stuff, that sort of thing.
Mind, I did that a while ago. Needed some milk and bread I did, returned home with a bloody Fireblade.
We'll see how it goes.

Now, you see this is just the sort of thing a high flying, powerfully built, hammer wielding, frozen sausage using, stair dominating, German car driving, company director would have to deal with on a weekly, if not daily basis
Absolutely, and sausages dealt with on an hourly basis too but we all have work crosses to bear as you would know - but it prevents me from kipping in the day so you’ve probably got the better deal on balance.We haven’t had the start of todays apprentices/trainees on machines or inept management so you’ll have proved me completely wrong by 9.30

Morning all. 
There was a bloody wasp buzzing round me last night as I got into bed, so I slept with the window wide open all night in the hope that it'd f
k off and leave me alone.
I can report that it's starting to get a tad chilly in the mornings and there's no sign of the wasp.
I just hope I don't tread on it with my bare feet.

To be fair, and i'll whisper this so as not to jinx it, it's all running quite smoothly today, but that may be because we've taken the decision making away from our manager and are running things in the order which makes most sense!!!
There’s still time for things to go pear shaped and prove me wrong, I’ve been wrong before you know.1990 was the last time.
I got married.
Morning ApO.
Shamelessly stolen from the "Juvenile things that make you snigger" thread, I also saw your pic glenrobbo
I bet Bomma can tell a few tales of messages written on bombs & missiles.
I can only recall "With love from all of us at Woodford XXX" written on a Harpoon anti-ship missile that was fitted to a Nimrod back in 1982.
Oh, and by the way, Bobbers, that bloke in the pic I posted over there is actually my kid brother, he sent it to me yesterday. He is working up in Shetland for a week or so.
He's lovely really.
