If you peer upwards into the distance Neal, you should just see that faint outline of a gutter...

Please rise above said outline Neal, and keep ones mind out of the gutter in future. :wink:


Besides...We can rest assured that MrPete has standards, even if his morales could maybe be bought into question....the proof being he bought an A series! :lol:

Would he compromise those standards with Dan...On the strength of his A series I would like to think "NO"!!! 8) 8) 8)

Offence??? thats wot goes round your field to keep the sheep from running off aint it??? (and to keep dwifty out!)...

Just pointing out that your mind was in the gutter...but then thats why you fit it just fine with us lot, ours spend most of the time there to!

In fact our minds would probably explode, as a side effect of extreme vertigo, if they ever went any higher! :lol: :lol:

right ladies and gentlemen!

after what was supposed to be a "holiday" for a week in Spain (god bless the banks and repo men!) and now knee deep in replacing/renovating/various levels of swearing/yet more trips to the plumbers merchant/2 weeks delay on tiles/completing my bathroom - it would appear that if i need the toilet i can only use the FogBog for the foreseeable :twisted:

i will be down Saturday afternoon and Sunday only unfortunately - will hopefully stay overnight as need a dance, a few beers and a laugh - not necessarily in that order but ALL are required to the max!!!

spent last weekend on the truck -lifted at front now and winch sorted - still more to do but no time :oops:

last weekend before footy starts again so lets make it a good un 8)

is there/was there talk of a laning session on Saturday??

brief look at the supplies list suggests all covered is there anything else or what would be the preference for some spirits to get the party going???

Heh, gimme a ring if you get stuck and I'll tow you as well as my caravan, for a price! :lol:

Looks like it's just-a me coming (hopefully Friday still, won't know till pay clears my bank account), possibly with a friend coming down for one of the days instead.
I do need to add tho that I may have bodged my truck already by blowing the crankshaft seal when I changed the oil - once again the 'book of lies' and the Fronty handbook lied with how much oil it can take! :evil:
So if I can get hold of one, would there be space (and maybe a hand or two?) to help sort it out? :oops:

Here's the list updated (inc. 2much):

Gregster and Sally... For the duration!
Andytats and andytats boss... Fri-sun,
Wilberforce... For the duration!
Bobbinsjob, Maria n Maci (the rugrat)... Saturday-Monday...caravan
cheekychick... For the duration!
Mr and Mrs RatCav ... Fri-Sun ... RatVan
Random Ross for the duration
Retro pedro for the saturday (if car is fixed in time)
Fudge and poss MS Fudge
MrPete + caravan, for the duration (payday pending for arrival); possibly +1 for one day too
Hound Dog + co (MOT pending on the 22nd)
Rospicer+wife........ Sat-Sun
Hipo1024....sat-sun
Stretch + Wench + mini stretch fri-sun hopefully
RobFog For the duration! (to be confirmed, pay and stuff)
stevey2stuck, maybe with his hanger/tent if he is staying TBC
2much - Sat afternoon and Sunday only, hopefully stay overnight

and not forgetting our Rob (horses45) from Matlockshire upon Scotland (almost)...who fingers crossed is gonna be joining us all! :dance:

Oh, and FYI Dan, you're not my type anyway :sick: :P

You'll be fine Rob I have been down to the woods and not driven round there plenty of passenger seats.
Just be careful if you get in with Greg as he puts his brain in the glove box but it's a better ride than any theme park :shock:

How much oil did you put in there then?? I know the Haynes manual is perhaps not as acurrate as it might be, but it ought not to be that far out...
