Default Hello again from somewhere in the atlantic.......

Christ I'm bored.....

It's a bit blowy tonight and due to the fact the ship is rolling about like a drunk man on a bouncy castle I'm stuck down here in the engine room keeping my eye on things... So, I've decided to have another go with our carrier pidgeon speed internet and see whats what...

What have I missed? Who owns Jim Greens old Saff now? Why has Stu quit his 'job' as site admin? And who is site admin now?

Has Lee Reynolds done anything to his RS1600i project, at all?

Just in general, whats been happening?

I'm no bad mate. I think one of the lads on the ship has pulled that same fat burd and has stashed her in a cabin on one side of the ship. The rolling is due to her moving from one side of the bed to the other

I'll upload some photos of my jaunt down to the med in due course.

Tell me about it. They came into the pub at 1am, we'd been there since 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We drank till about 4... Then somehow I ended up in the back of a van, it was all very confusing.

To cut a long story short, I had to walk from the main gate to the base, all the way back to the ship. Took me 2 hours. Got lost 3 times, and fell in a ditch....

Then had to get up and work just over an hour later


It was NOT a good day

You ever been to the Falklands?


If you have, I walked out of Deanos.. Started to walk back to the den, Which is about 20 minute walk....


I managed to find a ditch, in a field, that I didnt have to walk through then a swamp, then a barb wire fence


I got back, mate was in bed, as i flicked the light on, he looked up and said "WTF HAS HAPPENED TO YOU"

I was like... "hmmmmmmm"

Adios MR2!

Well, yeah.... I'm not back on leave until Feb anyways....

So, something horizontally opposed and most likely an estate will be appearing on the drive sometime in March lol

Just MOT'd the MR2 so it's good to go.

Lets hope it shifts soon then.

The Fiesta is dead at the moment (flat battery) the one you gave me last winter, seems to have a strange appetite for them at this time of year

Mine was flat when I came back the first night..... So much for the wife running it once a week to keep the battery charged...


I am tempted by a big fucking green party hating Shogun thing

But I know I'd be longing for a bit of speed now and then so back to the Nedmobile I go!
