As much as I love her , volatile is probably a good description although one I doubt she'd agree with. We've had some rough patches as most people do but I think this is the final one . Difficult to get away from work when I run the company and my home is next to my yard . Have to see if I can arrange something

Can I submit my application to join the club guys ? After a sh..crap week last week which meant I didn't get to Kelvedon Hatch I got a phone call last night from my - as I thought - best mate and partner of fourteen years , to tell me that I won't be seeing her again . I'm too old for this . I've got too little time and too many toys & now nobody to share it with . Maybe it's time I sold up and did ...........whatever it is ordinary people do with their lives . Dave.

It's just not the same when you have to explain it . ;-)

It's funny how you look at these things and something in the old brain says "It would be a really good idea to put a bid on that"

I thought it was two lads............ What's the point of fitting booby traps ???????? :-D :-D :-D

june CMV & my HMVF shirts arrived today - didn't know which to open first ! Some good bits again this month .

Funny I'd take a dog over the child every time & I'd agree with AR . Maybe it's having had to work in numerous educational establishments for 30 years - and no , I'm not a teacher , I'm one of the poor sods who has to go behind the dear little kiddies replacing the smashed and vandalised fixtures & fittings

Shirts & fleece arrived today . :-D :-D :-D Happy Bunny :angel:

It just so happens it's my birthday that day ...... And I know you'll be stuck for ideas what to get me ................... So ................. :-D :-D :-D :-D

1st class post

I've done it.... Finally posted my entry :-D And the law of sod has already started to work.... Just found out I'm probably going to have to come back to Colchester Saturday night for a meeting..! Mustn't grumble I'll be beck

Bound to find out sooner or later..... :-D He was a very nice man ..... as are you good sir And we had a pleasant chat while he was here .

Ah - so that's where the innocent bit of Essex is then ? I know it's not my bit anymore . Had The Witnesses to the door Saturday spreading the word and decrying the moral decline of the world . Didn't like to tell him that I've been making large contributions to the moral decline for years . :-o :-D

Appy burfday to you Appy burfday to you Appy burfday dear JT Appy burfday to you . :clap: :flower: :wave:

Good to have you back Richard . And it does get better . Promise . Went through similar scenario myself , long time ago now . The 109 is being well cared for and loved by AR . Take care mate . Hopefully see you soon . DM

So.................... Did you ? :-D :-D :-D :whistle:

Whoa. Steady on there......lets not start saying things like how unsafe MV's are . ANY motor vehicle - any vehicle of any type whatsoever - is potentially unsafe . Circumstances and a million variables can dictate the end results . I'm sure there are already quite enough queueing up to take a pop at the likes of us without providing ammunition ourselves .

Thank you for that Clive . Don't think vinyl will be suitable for my purpose - want to refinish the roof of the ST (swb Land Rover sized area) . Anyone recommend a supplier please (either local to me in North essex area or mail order supplier) ? Thanks DM

I love this forum - an answer within two and a half minutes ! Thanks Richard . Is that a flat finish or does it start out gloss ?

Need a bit of advice re paint . What shade / finish would have been used by the RAF for the yellow high visibility stripes and roofs on airfield service vehicles . Ta .

Hats off Jack . The old girl looks wonderful .

I knew it........ Your's is bigger than mine :-D

Hey - It's that man again . Good to hear from you again mate .

If it is not a personal question, how big is your bucket and what colour is it? To what purpose do you intend to put it, purely decoration, or is it to be a functional bucket? What sort of vehicle do you intend to hang it from? Now, tell me about your childhood and when was the first time that you saw a canvas bucket? :rtfm: Tim (too) Well , um , I'd guess I'd say it's about average but I haven't seen anybody else's to compare . It's ...erm....well...sorry but red.....very very red and quite possibly purely decorative . Functional ? I'm thinking that will probably depend on how desperate I get. I guess I'll be hanging it on the Unimog as it is a) the only greeny I have that's high enough off the ground for it to dangle and b) the towing point is one of the few bits that isn't rotten . My childhood ? How long do you have...... I spent much of my formative years gazing through the school fence watching army trucks passing by on their way to & from Fingringhoe Ranges and when they weren't around yearning the affections of the unattainable Gillian *** (name witheld to protect the innocent) . Of course I've seen pictures of canvas buckets before - i mean we all have haven't we lads ? .......Lads ? But anyway , I haven't actually seen a real one before. ......... Do I need help ? I do don't I ....... erm.......

Having dutifully renewed my sub to CMV I have , today , received my free(?) gift of a collapsable bucket . Now I know there was a bit of a thread going recently on this subject but I can't remember the conclusions : My question is : Which side of the truck should I hang it ? NB - at the moment I only have a hook in the centre rear but this is not indicative of any indecision on my part or indeed of any inclination to sway from one side to the other ........as it were......I'm just checking to make sure when I've got another hook I get it on the right........er.....I mean correct ....corner :-D :-D :whistle:
