knew that would stir u all in to action,actualy I did take the first load but the papers were wrong and it was unloaded in abu-dhabi it was magazines and Jan would maybe remember that or not :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

so you never actuelly got there then now who is lying and exagerating sorry about the spelling its not my strong point but telling the truth is (unlike you) to be honest i aint worried if you have been to the moon you aint doing the job now and dont say i would nt want to cos you read the threads so you still got an intrest in the job and every one wants to do one more just to see what its like now. graham has em ring him for a trucks all the time for all the old lads that genuinelly want to know how the job is now you got nothing to offer only bitterness by the sound of it kinda sad really

Kieth what I said was I took the 1st load for Astran destination Muscat ,my next trip was to Muscat ,and if u had been yourself early days you would know that my description of the border between UAE-OMAN was accurate ,this is great keeps all the old geezers with the memory loss active :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Hi Keith

I couldn’t be there for the big man’s funeral so Noel represented me and my dad. I heard a few stories about the ■■■■ up after from Noel though, sounds like there was a few miles travelled there!. I had a pint or two for him that night though (Noel will tell you what me a few mean’s!). I will get my arse into gear and find out the pics of the globetrotter and get them on the F10,12,16 thread. Take care on your travel’s mate and will have to catch up with you to put a face to the name and have a jar! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
