working on my transit today and maybe car boot tomorrow.

Absolutely nuffink. No money & on holiday from work, so forcing myself to take a break from the workshop stuff
-bored.

allways feel like that mm when our summer season slows off. hectic to nowt in a few weeks. takes a few weeks to get motivated again. must be wierd when you were on a deadline with your build then get the breather. feel like a lost soul..

Yeah, as you say, not motivated to do much. Loads of decorating to do, but can't be arsed, so pottering about, doing a bit of housework, tidying the garden etc. A lot of my workmates don't have any real hobbies. They might watch football on the telly, but that's about it. Must be s-o-o boring.

I'm going to take photos of my daughter and her club the Purbeck Runners racing tomorrow in the 'Studland Stampede' - probably get some nice seascapes as well.   Got to be there at 09.30 - think I'll need my thermals!

Well i was going to watch wales beat france in the rugby world cup,
But instead i watched us get robbed again >:( :(

bloody irish referee getting his own back.........even the french say they`re crap and don`t deserve to be there...................don`t get me started  >:( >:( >:( >:(

i,m at ,,wonderland,,, again!!!!!!  sorting stuff out  :-\  and WAITING AGAIN for some one to come and ,,,pay up,, >:( >:( for stuff theyve had :o :o bloody sick of em >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Worst than that he's an irish born frenchman,so we had no chance. :(

Hang in there Mike. Have a look for Rover V8 parts for me mate.  ;)

Yeah, bring me back something nice!

it,, maybe ,,dirty,, but you might find it ,,nice,, its been in my car boot since 10 am tis morning (so i wouldnt forget it)

Is it a pony? Oooh, I hope it's a pony.

what do you want a hyundi for  :D :D :D :D

Is that like a Shetland? That should fit in the boot of the car, no problem.

this one should ,fire, all 8 its got a good cam and bearings, ;)

Why let them have it before they pay?  Cash on the nail should be your rule!

Besides Wales getting beat :-\ been a good weekend, some nice old sprint bikes and even had the offer to ride one next year ;D (Danger Mouse) might take him up on it.

Also got a ride for next meeting (Thanks Dave)   :) So far this is the first year (except on my push bike) I haven't been down the track since 1990

god help the track  :o :o :o ::) ::)

I already do, but you can call me Tony ::)

it was heavy metal and the like  it had to go over the weighbridge to determin the weight =price

I did notice the fluent french conversations that were taking place, he might have been telling the french "I`ve done the dirty work for you the rest is up to you". All refereeing should be done in english I think. Very suspect...................I`m not bitter!!!!!..........Just can`t let it go yet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:(

It's only a game -like hopscotch or tiddly winks!  :P

still stuck at ,,wonderland,,---------------------------i wanna go ome

just wish poeple would turn up when they promise too  >:( >:( >:(

I'm off to Moira which is in Derbyshire or Leicestershire or Staffordshire depending on where you're looking, for a meet with some of the Round Britain Rally folks.  It's a camping job but I'm only going cos I've been promised I can sleep in a heated awning attached to someone else's campervan - and cos the forecast says it's going to be somewhat warmer than at present!

Chevy Rick and I went to Heathrow for the Jukebox Show. Not run by the same people that ran the Kempton show. Nor the Brighton show (I think). £8:50 to get in so with that and fuel, not a cheap day out. The venue was the Thistle Hotel, but the layout was cramped on the whole with only one big room dedicated to just stalls.  Not that many punters but just as well because no-one would have been able to move otherwise.
One room was for the bands but everything was delayed with the excuse that the first person up was not there but when he eventually came on, he was a chap who had been there for ages! The DJ was crap and was so bad, Rick heckled him.

I saw one of the organisers later and I said how disappointing it was especially for the money. He said it was the first and the next one should be better. I said people would not bother next time.

They had also encouraged period cars to turn up, giving those who registered two free tickets. Not much good for us because the fuel bill at about 20-25 mpg would have cost us more anyway. Some tasty vehicles turned up but the organisers hadn't really allowed for a dedicated parking area for them and some of them had to squeeze in next to the normal cars and for some of those giants, I do mean squeeze!

Hey Ho. Day wasn't completely screwed though, we called in to see Colboy and Colboys Chick (fellow Mankies) on the way home.

I am now watching the Rugby final I taped. Come on All Blacks.

JJ  :)

Somehow I can't imagine Rick heckling!  :D

this weekend I have mostly been getting over the excitement of being handed the keys for a brand new harley switchback with a full tank of fuel, it`s amazing how much fuel you can use in a few hours  ;D ;D ;D ;D

hope to be at the ace cafe for the ratrod ratbike meet on sunday

Taz & I have been at our local village Remembrance Day service this morning. For our readers from foreign climes, it's the annual commemorative day for all those who've died in Britain's many wars.
Neither of us is religeous in any way, but Taz is a volunteer standard bearer for the local branch of the British Legion, which heads up the veterans' march through the village for the service at the church.
I always get roped into wearing a dayglo vest over my suit & helping to slow the traffic. West Clandon is on the route between two major roads, as well as having a local beauty spot which is popular with bikers & vintage car drivers, so even on Sundays, it's a busy road.
A gorgeous Autumnal morning here in Surrey, so it was nice to walk in sunshine, instead of last year's heavy rain. Tazet's nearest the camera.

As well as the church, they stop at several points along the way to lay wreaths. Fortunately the Sunday morning drivers are quite patient.
Taz's employers, Lord & Lady Onslow & their daughter, are nearest the camera.

.

.

The party have to cross the busy road to visit the local grave yard. I had to stop this beauty, on it's way to the vehicle meet at Newlands Corner, while they crossed. Cadillac?

Last stop was to lay a wreath under the plaque listing the village's war dead, outside the British Legion hall. Then we adjourned to the hall for lunch.
As I said, we're not religeous or connected to the armed forces in any way, but it's just nice to do our bit for the local community.

Tazet works 7 days a week, running a busy stable yard at the Clandon Park estate, so we rarely get to go out anywhere together. Today was her first day off for several months. Had to grab a photo together, just to prove she's not a figment of my imagination.
