Great Stuff Biff - was about to ping you to see how shes doing.


Is it nice to work on something so little for a change ?

I'm under pressure form the usual suspects to get out in it again , bolt my bits on I have here etc etc and race whisper in his RC, AJ in his , maximus in his, Avocet in his - really really need to sort a ribcraft gathering .....

What are the odds of being done this week ?

Yep no probs. done the black at the front. Just got to do the Orange now. I'll put some black sealer around the overlaps on the cones to try to stop the water pressure pulling them off

Sorry old mate, I'm not moving that way, they still burn witches up there and I'll get blisters on my thumb turning my watch back 150 years

Is the boiler still going..? Definitely recommend getting that dirty old nozzle changed.....and stop trying to run it on 5:1 oil/water.

More to the point, are YOU still going.? Couldn't believe the size of that egg on your head when you answered the door.!

Hope delayed concussion didn't set in.

For Pete M

Still working ok, the guy came over and checked through co2 and cleaned it out, we had done most of his work anyway, you need to have something to concuss and I'm too hard to let a bump slow me down, It did bring a tear to my eye though

Go on, you're too big a boy to be scared of a shed
