  1. Morning Team. Looking bright here. Being a hooligan in the toy car this morning. Family duties and funeral prep for the FIL later. I'm super emotional at times and I got to carry coffin at the funeral which will be hard! Enjoy your day, do something to have a memory off. She bringing tea up now. Tom gently leaving Bad Apple Racing and maybe crewing elswhere but he off to the states soon to race his car! Jay, Louse, Roc!
  2. Morning Team. Thankfully, the end of a week! Found a box of books etc from my old tree firm. Made me chuckle at the prices we charged and some of the cheque book stubs! Must all that kelter to the tip as it is of no use to anyone but an old boys memories! Enjoy your day and come home safe! Grisley, Bares.
  3. Morning Folks! On account of a soggy lung, I got a free loft insulation and new boiler from HMG. But I had to empty the loft, amazed at how much crap I 'stored' in there! Plenty of tip trips over the next few days and loads of stuff going on evilbay or market place! Have a good day yourselves! Wife, Runts.
  4. Used to pile on the brash, all butt ends to the cab, using live line rods as bolsters. Double up a Carter's hitch then add another pile on top! Again doubling up on the hitch then pull out first ropes! Before I got tippers, the tailgate was dropped and you held on to the lower levels while driver dumped the clutch and drove out from underneath the load! Or, a side was dropped and we got in and rolled the load off! All the stuff they never taught at colleges!
  5. Seems still and bright here! Goal, Deny.
  6. Loni Anderson. Remember WKRP in Cincinati?
  7. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16fXLp1Tkq/
  8. I'd buy a GreenMech!
  9. Dame Stella Rimington. James Whale.
  10. I'm in, anyone else get tinnitus? That loud it woke me up! Bill, Din, Cite.
  11. Morning Team, still here despite talks of storms up north. I'm having a cleansing sort of day I reckon. Teller, Graf, Cross, Whirred.
  12. Still in bed, she got the tea in and is getting ready to go to church with her mum! Bit of pottering today and navel gazing today for me! Enjoy yours! Bugs, Seem, Alone
  13. Awake far too early with jumbled head and beery breath! Have a good day! Sent, teen, airy.
  14. Up and away early today, got an early appointment over an hour away. Looking forward to a beer tonight! Gas, Pat, Show.
  15. No ticket proof needed but they may require some ID or trade reference the first time. Some hirers may need proof that you have adequate insurance like "hired in plant"..... If it is only a couple of days or the odd weekend, go local.... Where are you based?
  16. Morning Team! Had a glass last night and just got up, thi gs to do today keep the wheels of industry turning! Thanks for the kind words, Caz got fed up with it all yesterday and wanted some peace and quiet but there will be a few days yet of visitors and we'll wishers calling by..... Mat, Rough, Act.
  17. Towbar on a mucktruck or similar is the answer!
  18. Caz's father died in the night, diagnosed with cancer 6 weeks back. I got a demo to do in Mablethorpe then taking the day off. The Telegraph celebrates 100 years of the crossword. Won, Nun, Dread
  19. Walked passed these while shutting a gate by a farm. Not something you see very often, I did wonder about making a bid.... yonks ago, Denn8ngs of Chard used to fit surplus Spitfire and Hurricane wheels to their mobile saw benches.
  20. Yaxley-Lennon skipped the country to avoid arrest for injuring someone!
  21. She got the tea then she'll get to the gym before returning to the hospital. I got to get a machine out for demo then come back as the FIL is likely to go today. Strange here in Retford as it is so quiet compared to the motorway noise at mine! Low, Irk, Lass.
  22. Next year Rodney, we will be millionaires!
  23. Would it still attract the same attention if it was labelled as a veteran/vintage example not for commercial use?
  24. Up but not with it! FIL not gone yet, will be about to support the family but got to balance that with work. Be good today. Suttee, Hans, Weep.
