  1. Has spent a lovely 25th birthday riding on the WSR with the other half! Now she's cooking dinner, I think I picked a winner! ;-)

  2. Despises hayfever!

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      and what's Hayfever's opinion on the matter?!

  3. Really does need to start fitting AJs to wagons!

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      No, no, no! You really ought to be fitting 3-links to your wagons. Don't you realise there's an EU Directive on the matter?!

    2. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      You have seen me using 3-links, it's painful to watch! ;-)

      What ya mean? It's how it punishes me if I ignore the sat nav :-p

      OK then, what if it was a Honda? :-P

  5. Has just got back from a Christening and on the way home bought a couple of wagon kits!

      It did indeed! Seeing that the baby in question wasn't very impressed with the whole affair!

      Go for a Baptism as well and then you could get some more stuff!

    4. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      haha! Yes! Well I do enjoy a trip to Winchester!

  6. Has just been told by his brother that my Volvo is very poorly! Two huge holes in the engine block from the failed cambelt. :-(

      Thats' not poorly, more like terminal! Your wallet has my deepest sympathy.

      Captain Kernow

      But never mind! You just told us that you've got a brand new combine harvester - that'll do for getting to work, surely?!

  7. Why are weekends so short!?

      What Brinkly needs is for this poor benighted country to go back to the early 1970s, when there really was a three-day weekend....

    3. DonB

      DonB

      Or indeed a 3-day week with 4-day weekends, I remember it well! Nightmare trying to operate a process that required 24 continuous production!

    4. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      hahah! Yeah Tim hours and minutes are always a place for confusion! 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, but 24 hours in a day, explain that to a 4 yearold before you even go down the route of 1/4, 1/2 and 1/4 too!

  8. Is preparing to depart for the second of four weekends engagements this month! Perhaps I should become King....

    1. BlackRat

      BlackRat

      Depends on what your kingdom is! ;)

  9. Now I've got a brand new Combine Harvester and I'll give you the key!

      Whoa there, Horse - calm down!! I know our Brinkly has been described as a handsome fellow, but I wouldn't go quite so far as to describe him as a 'fine-lookin' woman'...!!

      Brinkly

      Well only at DRAG captain! Hahah!

    4. BlackRat

    4. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      God only knows!

  13. Has spent the day watching Up Pompeii! and thread another 800 chairs onto steal rail! Am I mad, I do believe I am! Up Pompeii!

    1. DonB

      DonB

      do you mean STEEL rail, or did you "borrow" it? But yes.. Up Pompeii!

    2. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      I said was going mad! No I didn't steal the steel rail! That's what 800 chairs do to you! Up Pompeii!

    2. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      Couldn't you just put your back in again? Seriously, I hope you get better soon.

    3. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      lol back in! I wish!

    4. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Considerable sympathy - it's all too easily done and can take a long time to get better - sensible rest/taking it easy plus painkillers isn't a bad way to start. Depending on nature of problem (is it muscular?), a cold compress is said to help (according to my Chiropractor!)

  22. Feels he is living in cloud cuckoo land at times!

    1. Kris

      Kris

      Sounds better than working with the Devil, that sort of describes my week.

    2. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      oh no! Well I just feel I'm going mad at times!

       

  23. After the traumatic loss of seeing my Escort being taken away to be turned into a cube, I’ve recovered by purchasing some Bill Bedford wagon parts!

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      Made from recycled metal ?

    2. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      lol not quite!

  24. Has just watched my Ford Escort taken away on a flatbed lorry to be turned into a cube! :-(
