Great day at last

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

#1 Post by JIM » Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:20 am

The much looked forward to big day is here at last, i can now forget about Ham radio and its many facets.....leave the Escort alone for today.......
The excitement is so great i could not eat my breakfast.........wife is polishing the TV screen ready for the whole coverage of this super event...
even the girlfriend has combed her hair..........have prepared a large bucket of sand to stick my head into in case its too much for me.

Lol :lol: :lol:

Seems you have the same attitude to it as me, and many others on here!


P.S. - moved to "Off Topic" as this definately isn't anything to do with classic cars! ;)

I was all set to go; bike loaded up and then I discovered a hole in my tent. I have therefore decided to open the shop instead.

We're having a wedding, you're paying. You're not invited. Now run along and organise a street party in our honour. There's a good peasant.

Wife and girlfriend? :o I'm amazed you have any time for any other hobbies. You must have your work cut out keeping them apart. :)

What a complete crock of old sh***.

Yeah, that's about the size of it. You have my vote for President of the people's Republic of Britain.

At least the whole street party thing seems to be a uniquely southern concept, so none of that bollocks to worry about up here.

Some of us probably knew that the original post was ironic. ;) :lol:

I've no problem with the Royal Family and well remember the lad's late mother's wedding - I mowed the lawn that day (our old house was a Vicarage, it had a BIG lawn!).

I suspect it might be more interesting if his father was king - so the lad would be next in line to the throne and the event might seem more significant.

I've done a load of washing, watched some TV (from 7:00 until I fell asleep) and have various chores to do before walking the dog (the tide is in at the moment). I had hoped to get more done on my sandblasting cabinet, though I've run out of boiler panels! However, my friend is having trouble with his TVR (fuel pump relay I think), so I will take the big tractor with some firewood in its loader bucket (they have fires in the garden for some strange reason) and spend a while laughing at his classic (that some reckon isn't as it's a 1995 car!). Hopefully he has the boiler panels he promised me last weekend!

I'm quite happy at the moment - the Freeview box's remote isn't working properly (and the dashed box cost me a tenner to buy last month!!). Once I get it on a channel that's worth watching, it stays there for the night!

The wife and daughter are glued to it....just a thought does anyone know if Prince Harry's father was invited?
