Welcome back Tom. I will join you on the pool deck with pleasure.
Cheers!!

OK pedants, my Peltor H9A ear protectors, meeting requirement EN352-1:1993 and branded with a tasteful "WARTSILA NSD" logo.

TA's tab, from my long experience of drinking with him, is rationed like Victoria Sponge during the Blitz. Although Tmac is the sole member of the crew to live thro the Blitz, a teenager.

When those habitted wimin were our charges I thought I saw him wearing one, a sort of hearing strumpet, then.

Engine Serang · #**5204** 29th June 2019, 15:33

Those habited wemin or strumpets as you so delicately put it, were Handmaids of the Lord. Lets have no more of it. OK!

We only have a knight in the company so they are rather over qualified for GD.

Are you sure they are only staff? I thought they were brides to a scion of the tribe of David (and, leading on, why exactly are we culturally monogamous when the figurehead signs them up on demand whilst his plenipotentiary on earth wants to kill Mr. Brown for suggesting he even had one?)

Old "Misery Guts" is very magnanimous with his tab unless some smart Alec down in the pit
pisses him off. Such persons? will suffer water in their beer, made in China Jamison's, AND the muff they wrap around their ears withdrawn and put to much better use. (I'm sure Tmac can find a use for a nice warm muff which is closely related to a Black Bush. )

Sparkie's on the medicinal cannabis again.

And someone is blowing his own trumpet.

Varley · #**5208** 30th June 2019, 09:31

I am always careful about trumpet blowing and the biblicals. Can do horrid things to Babylonian architecture.

(Do you think Mr. Buonarroti sculpted my best side?)

Engine Serang · #**5209** 30th June 2019, 10:57

Eddie Calvert brought the house down.

Mick Angelo as he is known in East Antrim was a handy hoor with hammer and chisel but never got a commission to do King Billy on his horse. A failed career.

Tmac1720 · #**5210** 30th June 2019, 16:41

Wee Willie and a White Horse, drunk that as an apprentice....thanks for the memory

Aye indeed Tom many a warm muff has been most welcome on a dark winter night

warmed the bits that Heineken didn't reach.... nice girl Heineken, always very accommodating to injuneers with frozen tools.

Thats not what I heard from one of ther Nun's

Gottus a quick job due to our cloaking ability. Leaving in the dead of night for Havana -- load large quantity of Cuban rum and Havana cigars and return to Miami. Everything on the QT. We get to keep 25% of the shipment in payment for our services. We can leave a hologram of the GD alongside while we are away and we'll be back before anyone notices.

billyboy · #**5213** 1st July 2019, 09:32

Nice one Tom. Quite partial to Havanahs fare as our Mr Varley, at least the cigars.

Farmer John · #**5214** 1st July 2019, 09:44

We could replace the GDs BSA Bantam runabout with one of those ancient Behemoths Cuba still has on its roads, they look quite regal and who hasn't dreamt of driving a massive gas-guzzling beast.

Varley · #**5215** 1st July 2019, 10:03

QT? Well that's convenient someone's steamed-up the Globespan again. We'll have to load slowly. I cannot do more than one quality sample per dinner.

Make mine a 1960 cherry red Buick convertible with a white top and red leather upholstery. Had a friend in Winnipeg years ago that had a "59 -- and what a sweet ride -- like floating on a cloud -- and to hell with the price of gas -- would that thing ever go --- swoosh !! Just thought the '60 looked a little more refined with the shorter fins.

Tom Alexander · #**5218** 2nd July 2019, 06:09

We have left for Havana and due to arrive in 15 minutes. Cargo already lined up on the quay ready for loading. Time machine function has restored Havana to it's 1950 "standards" for our pleasure.

YM-Mundrabilla · #**5219** 2nd July 2019, 06:13

'and what a sweet ride -- like floating on a cloud'

As a 'Yank tank' just wondering whether there was any connection with the road surface?
Did it go round corners?

(Sorry, I couldn't help it .............)

Engine Serang · #**5220** 2nd July 2019, 07:53

[/QUOTE]

Any connection with reality?
GD2 now has embellishments only known in Harland & Wolff's Skunk Works.
MI5, MI6, the PSNI and the Orange Order will use all sorts of Psy-Ops to expose the villain and then he will be found dead in a field or Knighted and given a gold plated pension.

H&W Skunk Works are at a top secret location. On Islandmagee just behind Ballylumford Power Station.

Varley · #**5221** 2nd July 2019, 09:41

Top secret? Surely asphalting has not even been on patent for years.

You forgot to include the research station at Buckna, the test facility in Stranagalwilly near Balix in Tyrone. Also not forgetting the R and R facility in Muff

It isn't the Asphalting that is secret rather it's who is buried beneath it

Farmer John · #**5224** 2nd July 2019, 16:32

Go round corners YM? You want the moon.

Tom, we have "acquired" one, and not in bad nick. Fitted with a new engine and polished to the highest shine. We'll take her for a spin when we get back to Miami.

YM-Mundrabilla · #**5225** 3rd July 2019, 01:17

FJ you will certainly get a 'spin' regardless of the location.
