one of the reasons I’ve been absent for the last year or so And it's your round Stu, I can't hold out much longer :wink: . If you get a few bivvies (and indeed bevvies) in this year I'll finally be able to say "Wham BaM thank you MaM" again too :smile: . Think the round is long over due r...

Well the boy has just got back on shore leave till the 9th so it will a very blurred one especially as his 18th falls on the 6th ( one of the reasons I’ve been absent for the last year or so as running up and down to Portsmouth most weekends so the wife can see her little prince didn’t leave much ti...

It certainly is a cheery Friday , the young lad passes out of basic training today and he’s got a weeks leave before he starts his phase 2 training, so even mrs MAM is in good humour

Jaysus Mart , you really are gramps ,

Ton , I had a big issue with hypertension in the summer , tablets didn’t really bring it down and I’d occasionally pass out when they kept changing my pills so I stopped taking the new ones and went back to my old ones , when I was weighed I’d put on 11kg without really noticing, went on a plan call...

Thanks for reminding me Stu I’ve unfinished work on the Big Bear , hopefully I’ll get the time next year and it’s not through the middle of a snow storm again

I’m pretty sure there was a small dog in a basket on the 10th anniversary wrt , always stick out in my mind as that was my first one

I think Reg no 2 should be , it’s f@£cking sh1t at the time ( wind and torrential rain in borth comes to mind)but in a few hours you look back saying that was a mad craic wasn’t it

Right Reg, winter event booked
Stu WWB not sure yet as it’s the first weekend of the boys basic training and wife is already in bits at the thought of her little Prince being handed over to the navy , so this one might have to be a miss , but will let you know closer to date

Stu let me know where it’s gonna be when you’ve made up your mind , health’s more or less back so hopefully can arrange a weekend pass :-bd Will she let you apply for your WE pass at the same time Stu? Glad to hear the body's playing ball again. Good to have you back. Not sure , need to check the d...

It does make a difference, but don’t forget that you have to either regen or have a forced regen of euro 6 diesels which just basically revs the sh1te out of your engine till the cat gets upto around 700 degrees then dumps out all the particles and sh1te the cat was stopping , so at some point all t...

Don’t know the diameter as I’m not at home but I can say without doubt the original monkii cage takes a 1l Nalgene bottle without issues

The only other thing shaf is maybe get yourself fitted , when my young fella started running ( and he had a decent pair of shoes) getting ready to join up after about a fortnight his shins were in bits , took him to the local running shop had him filmed on a tread mill to see how his feet landed an...

Enjoy every one, I hope it’s not the same as the sun we had in run from the sun the other year

Stopped about a fortnight back when they changed my meds , was sat in the pub at lunch time with the wife , had a couple of pints , stood up to go for a pee and dropped like a sack of poor show , wife was panicking when I came round thinking I’d took a heart attack, so that was that no drink since ,...

If you don’t mind larger the becks blue isn’t bad , maybe it’s just because I’m a bit thick but I drank 6 bottles and thought to my self why aren’t I feeling a bit tipsy , wife and son were killing themselves laughing telling me it was AF , it was only then I noticed the gassy taste too it

Already emailed Stu , as I’m out too , remember me joking about my blood pressure when we were over Cannock Steve? We’ll had my check 190/120 , panicked look on nurses face grabs the doc , next thing all my meds have been changed but I get seriously dizzy at points through the day now plus I’m p1ssi...
