Jimmer…you know you can ring me anytime mate, well as long as it’s not early. Lol
Won’t be going to cafe for a few days yet, unless Paul cuts my food up for me. :laughing: :laughing:

Tribsa…why do you ask that Rich…can I expect a sarcastic reply ■■? :wink: :wink:

Blender and a straw Tony !breakfast Shake !! And a coffee of course ! :smiley:

Don’t like the sound of that Jimmer, to be honest though, I,ve gotta cut down
on the fry ups, cos I,m putting on sooooo much weight lately.
I blame the medication. :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing:

Anyway while I,m here, I found this.
My old fuel card from when I worked for Claben.
I tried using it the other day, and strangely it didn,t work. :blush: :cry: :unamused: :

Hi Tone

cheers rich

Trunker08… Got your PM Mick and have replied.
I,m temporarily out of action myself.Didn,t wanna go to Lisbon anyway. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Mind you if Charlie does all the driving I could still ride shotgun.

Tribsa…as it happens Rich, it,s the right I,ve had done so good to go
with the left one …for now anyway.
Have you got something lined up then that requires a mate.■■?
I must warn you though Rich, I don’t do too early a start these days. :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing:

Tony.As it appens Im off over the water on the 25th.If you are on the Town Quay at 1100 you can come as shotgun.No need for passport.Im only going to East Cowes! Not sure I can do Lisbon in one hit anymore.Go back 40 years and I might have said yes.Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Anyone remember these ■■?

Tone that was Adrian Mills, he had a yard in the fir tree’s between Thornhill and Windhover roundabouts. It was sold for building and I think he moved to Fishers Pond some where. Do you recall the café where they sell the caravans now on that same road, used to be where Charlie wots his name ran tarmac trucks from also an outfit called Griggs that used to do corrugated cardboard, what a memory I have, cheers Buzzer.

Yeh I do remember the cafe Buzzer…well it was virtually on my doorstep.
The guy your on about was I think Charlie Bonner…I did a couple of days
work for him once, driving a Big J.

Hi Buzzer,

I think the cafe was the Queens View but i might be wrong.

I believe Adrian is in West End now near cricket ground ■■

Driving a BIG J, now I know where you got them arm muscles from Tone.

Hi all, sorry to disappoint you gazzer but i have still got a P & O cork screw/bottle opener but mine is white we will see how many more appear. Hope your getting on ok tone. :stuck_out_tongue:

Look whats made an appearance on Facebook…

Colin

I drove a few Big J,s for a few companies Buzzer.
Think I,d struggle with the steering now though, but I have got a good
excuse at the moment.

Gerbil…hi Kev, yeh all,s good mate thanks for asking.
I could get used to this not going to work lark. :laughing:

I’m inclined to agree with you Richard, that’s why it was stuffed at the back of the cupboard, Ian couldn’t make it work any sense!

Just had a call from Paddy Duffy (Ainacs Jnr) who passed his HGV today so congratulations Paddy time for work!
Just the bendy artic one to do !! :smiley: :smiley:
