John52 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 In my Quest to raise the tone of this forum, I thought it would be nice to have a thread about what we are all doing today. :-D I've just moved on to Whitby after the Duncombe Park Steam Rally yesterday. We were treated to a Traction Engine pulling display in the main arena, by Mr Jack Dibnah - who was supposedly pullling 3 other engines uphill but I saw another ones flywheel going round too *-) . Took this photo of the Plaque on 'Betsy' - Freds steam roller, front end rebuilt after the incident at last drop village, which Jack inherited :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Sitting at a campsite coffee bar in Bulgaria overlooking the Balkans. Came initially for couple of nights but ended up staying for six as they have a cracking little Restaurant and the showers are large wet rooms. Glad to hear Fred's son took over though Fred himself was unique, a real "one off". Met him once at a steam fair and he was exactly the same as his tv character. Happy to chat with anyone who bought him a beer or gave him a fag! Lots of YouTube clips of him doing things which would have H&S reading the riot act! For such a small wiry guy he was damn fit and of course, totally fearless. Just watch this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryd999 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Why would you wanna raise the tone of Chatterbox FFS? Jeeeez! 8-) Ill be destroying a few Gammons on the Brexpress and social media, then going out for a spot of late lunch before probably creating a huge din with me guitar and getting pi$$ed. B-) Where is Antony by the way. I know he was off to see Michael Buble in That London but I though that was next weekend. Perhaps the shame of us finding out was too much to take. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet1956 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I’m going to indulge in some PC virtue signalling (you're not surprised eh?). I went to a Sikh celebration this am for a neighbour’s daughter’s 18th birthday. I thought Catholic ceremonies were a bit long but we’ve got nothing on Sikhs. Go Sikhs!

Tracker Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Just a normal Sunday for us, took the Bentley out for a jolly jaunt to go check on the Cessna as it's been a few days, then onto the marina and took the motor cruiser up the River Severn for a while, wonderful views from the upper deck, a lovely lunch out by the river in the warm sunshine then back home to Tracker Towers to sleep off all that exertion. It's a tough old life being retired! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryd999 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Ive had a funny old day me. Got tossed out of me kayak into the North Sea, wrote a song for Donald Trumps wife which I hope to finish for her before she goes home, had a blast to Filey cliffs on the bike and now I'm off to a free festival where I might get a chance to perform me new song, if I get kicked off ill just be back at the van drinking Leffe I suppose.

Oh I forgot he'd do a Neville 8-) .......... ......and give in >:-) .......... Err no he would do what the Government says it will never do, and always does in the end - Negotiate with them. As Thatcher said of the IRA'we don't negotiate with terrorists' (except her close friend Pinochet) and a fre years later Gerry adams and Martin McGuiness were in Downing Street every other day :-D So when Corbyn talks to terrorists you can call him a 'terrorist sympathiser' Unlike Donald Trump when he talks to Kim Jong Un. For some reason thats different in your book *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
