Default Hello again (New Toy)

Well after the the disaster that was my 15 year relationship, I decided to treat myself to a new toy.. only drove it back tonight (230 miles) but with my back acheing & my pocket empty, I still manage a smile when I look at the new toy









Phil

Could be difficult at the moment Alan. I'm working away from tomorrow until wednesday night & wont get home until 9:30. then thursday I'll be home at about 8:30 & friday about 7:30, so maybe the weekend or possibly some time the week after as I'll be home by 7pm most nights. When were you thinking of ?

yes mate, had to sell it to try and keep the house after the ex shat on me from a great height. Managed to keep the house in the end ,but feel like I'm paying the national debt with this mortgage. Anyway, I decided it was time to buy myself a toy, so I went and got one .It needs a bit of TLC, but its 19 years old, so cant expect it to be perfect, but its in really good shape for its age.

Good to see you're still knocking around, hope you and your mrs are well. what you driving these days ? did you get yours fixed or is there a replacement now?

Cheers

Phil

Phil.. how about the Rhubarb Triangle pub on the A61 just a few mile off J41 down the dial carriageway on the right, opposite Burger King heading into Wakey? 4pm sound OK?

Seems central enough for most as most of the boys have been there before, does food, nice beer and a decent car park with the dual carriageway for those passenger rides - Me first!!!

We can move it if that's not convenient...

Let me know...

Or to put it another way, go down to the bottom of your road and turn right, then at the top turn left onto the A650. When you get to the big roundabout for J41 of the M1, continue on the A650. At the next roundabout go straight on, then at the next roundabout go right, second exit, you have arrived at your destination
