I can look a prat without too much encouragement!
And so can Val, Gnome, Al and Ches. 2004.For those of you who have been following the thread, Cheryl's car blew up and Alice and her mate came rushing in to our place yelling "the cars on fire". Well, it didn't blow up and it wasn't on fire. However the clutch had burnt out. The guys in work did point out that it used to be our car with Val the main driver, you may be interested to know that Val had the same driving instructor as Barry Sheen. Yep the real Barry Sheen , and believe me the driving speed is about the same!!! Still. Car all fixed thanks to Mike and the guys at Vospers. Ches is now £265 light. I think the idea of blaming it all on Vals driving ability (?) is valid!!!
Got a couple of comments so here goes. In the order I received them. Blue Skies the world is your oyster. "Suffolk Sojourn No. 14 of 137.I got in again - I think. Hope Cheryl's car will be ok - all will be well - she has a goodly Dad with excess cash available from his carefully considered investments!So - onwards and upwards. My finely nurtured piece to you on Tuesday disappeared into the ether. However, am trying again:Ref Leon's "Up - Up and ...Hold". Whilst you were at home, carefully nurturing Emerson, God Bless Him, with his supper (Tarkus from ELP in the background rather than TV) I was at work in the gym running Ladies Keep Fit - with a dozen or so wives who weren't into Corrie. Unbeknown to me, all the singlies,(Leon, Barry, Derek, Ron & Spike)- allegedly playing volleyball with the Iranian English students -were actually peering through the holes in the fitness room door at a bunch of girlies lying down with their legs in the air. My carefully phrased commands have been part of Leon's vocabulary ever since.Rang Dave the Rave last week to encourage him to join you/us, and contribute - but he hasn't a computer. He wasn't actually in -he's been nursing for the last 25 years and had left for the night shift at Huntingdon hospital - so his partner Geoff advised me. He'll ring me though - allegedly.Leon rang this afternoon - much ground covered, for later publication, but he was impressed by HR's Gibson Balalaika Flying V in the photo - reminded him of Andy Powell at the Melody Maker Poll Winners concert at the Oval in 72.Blues Skies (Well here anyway - every where else is awash!)Porky Middleblocker - News at 10 - Stowmarket. "
Talking about rain, If anybody reading this is involved in the recent floods then our thoughts go with you. Lets hope things are sorted sooner rather than later.
Not to be outdone Leon is giving a little background to those keep fit sessions. Me, I was off playing five a side in that cracking court we had in the hanger. We even had a couple of bats hanging on for dear life behind one of the goals if I remember correctly. I wonder what happened to the Iranian and Iraqi guys who played in our team, they were OK guys.
Right Leon serve up your course. " Hallow............Just read Blue Skies comments which somehow were above this blog I am writing..............Hope the car did not cause too much of a problem for you...... I think they are able to pop a new clutch in now pretty quickly, as opposed to weeks, years ago. I had to laugh at Groucho's comments about the keep fit class.......... He was the original Mr Motivator, although as this occurred in Upwood he was known as " Mr Rotavator ". It used to be so funny when we said come and play football/basketball etc and he said he couldn't as he had things to do !!!! yeah right !It was more like up, up, up, (little swig from the beer can, couple of quick puffs on a ciggie), and hold.......... Oh sorry missus ........ and relax !!! Great fun for all.Interesting Paul that you said you met up with McQuiston and Wilkinson at Innsworth...SNCO'S Wonder what they are doing now?Incidentally Orange was the format of speakers that I started out using, (for Music Videos and playback for various bands but as time went on I started using a company called Bluebox (bright blue like blue skies blogs), then changed to black custom made for me by a mate. The reason for that was you could hide them easier on a shoot and get close in without being picked up by the camera. They have been used in countless jobs with my catchphrase of " Heard but not seen " which most production companies liked. However as time has marched on I don't do those anymore as now they use runners for playback and pay them 20 pence a day for the privilege as they " want to join the film industry ".......blah blah. Any way that's another story.It's now just after midday and I must go into town to collect a few bits and bobs as got a busy time starting tomorrow. All the best and cheerio..........Leon "
Well that's it for today. Anyone else feel like adding a bit feel free. As you can see it's an open forum!!
