Following your comments about Steph at lunch yesterday Jim, I thought you might like something to bring you closer together!! :-D

I used to work opposite that pub on the other side of the bridge, though that's going back 25 years now (!)

Good find Mick!

I have a very good idea as to who would be Pilot and who would be Stoker if we had one of those ;) :lol:

In my case, my new face is a vast improvement 8-)

So I'm quite happy for any day in the week ending Friday 27th June so shout out chaps and we'll take it from there. Also say if you don't fancy The Coy Carp!! :-D
Inside the M25 - can we dodge the congestion charge there Mick :?: ..

:lol:

If that car is anything like its canine namesake then it'll go really fast for a mile or so and then need to rest for a while before proceeding...

Greyhounds, especially ex-racing dogs, make great pets and I'm sure this AC would too :-D

That’s the bugger I was thinking of - for some reason I thought it was everywhere inside the M25, maybe that’s a premonition [-X now I see it’s a lot more sneaky than that!

My brother had a racing greyhound, he retired it and left it with mom when he married, my recollection of it was the horrible smells it filled the house with when it farted. :-D And the poor thing getting mauled half to death by a doberman pinscher when mom took it for a walk.
