Morning all.

I'm thinking of going for a drive this morning, Wallasea Island nature reserve maybe. WP of course (weather permitting).

That's all.

Don't forget to dress appropriately, and take a picnic, and maybe the elephant gun from above the fire in the residents lounge just in case, and remember to take a jumper in case it gets cold, don't forget your walking stick this time, and use the loo before you set off!!!

Good advice there Bobbers, I'll take a loo roll as well.

Loo roll? Are those things available now? We've been using a sponge on a stick since April after the supermarkets had been stripped bare of bog roll, pasta, soap and tinned tomatoes.
It is very cost-effective way of keeping the old balloon knot polished to perfection.
It's something else to thank the Romans for.

Anyway, good morning all.

S&M, who is this Docker Ted? Is he from Wallasey? I knew a Ted Parker who hailed from there. He was a tall gangly blond chap, nice lad actually. Everybody called him "TedLar". I often wonder what happened to him.

Bongtom, the loading of that van looks rather skillfully done.
I can't see how it all stays in place. What is in the load? I thought at first it was mattresses.
S&M should try loading his bricks like that!

How is baby bongtom doing? You don't report taking her for drives at 3:30 am to settle her.
I bet the average Kampuchean Dad could get 75 babies lashed onto his moped for such an occasion.

Bomma, I think the Difference Engine will be too big to fit in the Sopwith.
Better try it in the Sunderland. You could get a lot more fags in the Sunderland, and it would make the trip economically worthwhile.

Damp and grey,
Oop Norf
Signing off for now.

My phone just went nuts in my pocket, i thought i was getting a call it was vibrating so much, pull it out of my pocket and there's email, after email coming through, uh oh i think, scam? Hacked?

Technology. Don't you just love it?

I recently opened a Gmail account and it seems as if the big G is trying to take over my life, I may try using another search engine.

ETA. It's raining so trip may be off

Morning bongtom, morning StuntmanMike, morning Trivialites!!

I've seen videos of trucks and cars loaded like that bongtom but seeing it in the flesh must at first just be mind blowing!!!

Safe journeys StuntmanMike!!

I'm off for another exciting day of button pressing!!!

Morning everyone!
You get used to it.

This is used for coal delivery. Can you work out what the front is?


Totally “legal” as in no plates, lights, standards.

Oop norf? What's she doing in Gloucester?

Tell her to avoid puddles.
Dr.Foster didn't, and immediately regretted it. He vowed never to return.

Tell her that plastic shower capes are available from the charity shop.

Well, I'll start the ball rolling, it looks to me like either a side door or tailgate from a Transit type minibus / camper sort of thing?

I have a guess, it is just a guess mind, is it a door off of something like a train?!?!?

Sorry to hear your trip may be off WS old chap, damn this war!!!

Tell Mrs Scrump to be better prepared next time, she should have checked this thread for all the advice she needed!!!

Looks like the tailgate of a minivan or similar.
Awesome.
I love the specially crafted "rat look" racing seat.

And what do you mean "no lights"?
The customiser has gone to a lot of effort to incorporate those powerful xenon projector headlights, and even what looks like indicators.
And mirrors. Presumably to watch for scrotes trying to nick his coal as he's driving along. I can't think of any other reason for mirrors.

Excellent work there! .

I recognise that wheel!

It's an O.Z. 5-spoke alloy from an early TVR S Series:



Just needs a bit of a polish.

She has gone Norf of Birmingham so needs more than just a shower cap.
I suggested she wears something like this:

I said "cape", not cap.

She could even buy a coat from the charity shop for a relatively small consideration.
Then donate it to another charity shop after her trip.

Or she could get wet and pose for photos in her T-shirt.

Greetings.

Wales is moist today. Borth is looking even more grim than normal.

Greetings old boy.

Is that some sort of coded message concerning Prince Charles, perchance?

[White Stiletto]

Still raining - trip definitely off.

I shall get back to trying to improve my Greek in advance of next year's holiday.
