Nottingham bus firm( middle east work

Was that you doing the wailing and hooting Norm and facing Mecca with your bit of Axminster ? :wink:
Cheers Dave.

Facing Mecca Dave, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: I was just on the suburbs, they wouldnā€™t let me in. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: they wanted the goods I brought thousands of mile, :astonished: :astonished: :astonished: but they didnā€™t want a non believer. they took the load into the centre, tipped it and we had our breakfast, they returned the unit and empty trailer paperwork signed, and a few dinarā€™s for our trouble! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: It could have been my cries of " Arms for the love of Alla ". :wink: :wink: :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Not the place to start an argument Norm.I spent time in hospital with private patients from the middle east.Some had a sense of humour,but others could be very difficult.Different culture to ours.
Cheers Dave.

I donā€™t think a bike would be much good in the sand Norm,either with wheels or without. :laughing:

Harry, you would be alright on a camel, you being a sailor or a deckhand, for they are called the ships of the desert. :wink: :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

hiya,
Deckhand, Norm Iā€™ll have you know I was the ā€œchief engineerā€ being I was the only
one on board other than the skipper who had any knowledge about the engine I
ā€œdid the engineā€ in between helping to catch fish.

How dose it go? For those in peril of the sea. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I have worked on engines, but never on ships or boats, unless you count my spirit boat I made! :laughing:

hiya,
Norm youā€™d have been OK with the one on the boat I helped crew it was a
trusty old Gardner 8 cylinder marine engine as reliable as the day is long it
might have only been a 6 potter the old grey matter isnā€™t what it was but I
seem to think it was an eight potter it certainly did the job which is a must
when in deep water and well away from land and especially when youā€™re a
non-swimmer :laughing: .
thanks harry, long retired.
