Thanks 124works

[camerafodder]

Once again thanks to Ian and the boys for fitting me in for a service at very short notice.

A very special thanks to TrapperJohn for his extended tour of Kirkham, the surrounding tundra and its indigenous flora and fauna. This youtube link is for you TJ.

I must say I had a "hoot" with camerafodder today. He has the eyes of a sh*tehawk combined with the ornithological expertese of Billy Oddy and Kate Humble. I'm sure I saw its head move, I'm sure I did.
In the inner sanctum of 124 Works office prior to the drive we had been having a canter about a certain tyre thread. Well the car we went for our little spin in (pun intended) had just about sod all thread or tread on its rear round black things -mounted on its super fat alloy wheels. The racing slick tyres worked in pefect harmony with LSD thingy (on or off) and four inches of soft snow. Lots of action but sod all traction. Give me my old battle bus 124 any day. No electronic gizzmos on that just pure chugging traction.

Thanks Simon , a grand day out.

Our experience in the 210 did ruffle a few feathers didn't it?
I still reckon its head moved though!

Yes it was an interesting flight. Given your ornithological expertese you will know that birds do not pee! That is the white stuff in their brown stuff as it were. I think I nearly had one of them there moments myself today. A multi function disfunction!

Get a room, you two!

We tried. Apparently there is some sort of census going on and all the rooms are booked.
Even the stable was taken, some chippy and his Mrs with an ever expanding family had first dibs. The noise was unbeleiveable, some choir singing all dressed in white. And camel sh*t everywhere. Apparently 3 kings were visiting but their car had been attacked by some uni students from the Peoples Front of Judea, or was it the Peoples Liberation Front of Judea. so they had to use camels. Apparently a Messiah was due to be born but his Mum said he would probably be a very naughty boy.

I'll get me cross. Just the one.
