Morning everyone,
Who’s going to put the kettle on ?,I think it’s about time we all parked up for a night out. I’ll put the kettle on and Jockey could
start cooking, open a few Bricks of cheap wine and have a laugh.
Jockey has the only wood burning lap top so he might take a little time to post. ( I Don’t think he has electrickery out in the sticks)
Begsy, what motor are you pointing ?. Did someone say it was a wagon and drag?.
( I’m not implying anything when I say DRAG) How can I spot you Maritime guys.
I’m up and down the M4 a lot in my Voyager reg R## PJB, I do a bit of work to and from London and on the lookout for you all
but I can never tell who the jockey is. Is there a fleet number I could look for?.
I go into the Riverside Cafe at Colinbrook
a lot does anybody else still use it?.
When I spoke to wee Jock he reminded me about the Night in Miguel’s when he though up over the German driver who he thought
was a Russian for most of the night, after a night on the vino collapso he was saying his goodbyes,
but as he shook his hand Wee Jock
brought up the nights dinner and 2 liters of red wind up all over him. I’m sure “Fritz” still tells the story to this day back home
Catch you all later.Paul.
On the N1. From Jockey…
The kettles on. Time for a brew.
My fav load,(NOT). Skins I used to hate them…
This is when I got bogged down in a field and had to hire a crane to getme out…
Who can remember “Plum”. A big bloke who worked with me for Kieth Barrett.
This was taken before the night in Irun where he nicked my spare wheel and sold it to another Brit driver.
I had to ring Kieth to tell him it was nicked. The other driver meentime rang Kieth to say “thanks for his help” and wanted to pay for the spare …
Plum
was then sacked.
My first truck on International work J A Bunn from Keynsham, That’s Pat my wife in my beast ,
can’t remember if they were only 3500’s, and the son of a guy from Liverpool who I only remember as “Captain Birdseye”.

Put the kettle on■■? Hope you,ve bought a new one by now Paul.
That night in Miguels was indeed a memorable night.
I was there with wee Jock, my brother Keith, Gary the fitter
, although it was later that trip that he aquired the nickname, and of course the Russian German.
We had a great meal, and consumed bucket loads of vino.
Those of you that have been to Miguels will remember the stuffed deer and
Boars heads mounted on the restaurant walls. Well by the end of the
evening every Deers head had wine glasses propped on their antlers and
■■■■ were protuding from every orafice,much to the amusement of the locals
and staff.
It was after a lock in
that we were eventually kicked out and it was as we were
leaving through the kitchen at the rear while saying our good-byes that
Jock honked up all over the German
Tone,
Wasn’t there something about the plates on the walls as well. I did go in there the next day for coffee and the ■■■■
were still in the deers mouth.
The story about Gary “the fitter” when Wee Jock told me was hilarious.
As I asked what do you drive now Tone and where?..
How about this bloke parking his truck around a tree. If I’m correct this was on
Miguel’s .
Hi Paul,
to be honest i dont recall anything about the plates on the wall,
well it was a good night. I,ve just spoken to Keith and he remembers that
the Mooses head had two lit ■■■■ in its mouth and the breeze in the
restaurant kept them smouldering.
We split up after leaving Miguels and me and Gary went on to Valencia
and tipped and spent the next night in Betera to load the following day.
We had a heavy night there as well.
After loading at Betera we set off over Teruel but had to keep stopping
cos Gary was feeling under the weather.
When we got almost to Pamplona Gary had a puncture on the trailer which
we changed and it was as we were stowing the gear away that Gary
Became Gary "the fitter ". At the time it was a bit bloody scary mate.
He went to hospital in Pamplona and Buzzer had to fly out another driver.
Neil turned up and when we eventually left we had to do a night shift.
I am driving a MAN draw-bar Paul. It,s a plain white cab with blue
chassis and trailer on containerwork like the other lads.
I,m actually going your way tomorrow mate, to Bristol but will be going
on the A36 Warminster Bath way.
Good bit of parking by the Spaniard aye.
" At the time it was a bit scary mate"…
Weren’t you all laughing at him because you thought he was Break Dancing…
Sorry Begsy I thought you had a wagon and drag, now I know. I knew someone had one.
I’ll keep a eye out for you Mappo. I’m local Monday but I will be in Bath.
Paul.
A couple for Jockey,
I flew out to Madrid then flew to Pampalona & got a taxi to where Gary was parked on the national. We started out by having a coffee or two then made our way back home. I think there was some wine & kir abuse on the way back ( i no what your thinking wine & kir abuse thats not like me)
Sorry about that Sling, i,d forgotten it was you that flew out.
Did you get my PM?
Paul
absolutely crap quality, but this is what i,m driving but now plain white cab.
