hiya,
Never thought about that Norm, i’ll pop out tomorrow and see if i can’t get her a part-time job as well bit of hod carrying should keep her going on her three days off and i believe they’re looking for a coal roundsman at a skyscraper block in Newcastle, i’ve got a pair of rigger boots that’ll do her if she wears two pairs of socks.
thanks harry long retired.
You could suggest, she can do a few days cleaning, on one of those cleaning firms who pick you up and drop you off at home, but then she might say she has enough cleaning up after you Harry, but no way can you let her see you on the laptop, or she might cotton on you are enjoying yourself, then she will soon put a stop to that. 
hey harry I hear they are looking for husband/wife teams to double man the M/E 
well in your case double man-woman the middle East. just don’t mention norms name when you park up at night! you could end up with a back-load of young norms to be dropped off near the lighthouse
hiya,
Jimmy regarding me and my old woman doing M/E one she would’nt climb into the shed,and two i’d get lost in the ferry park, after a working lifetime in the haulage industry i could still get lost in the UK and i’d be hopeless with them sat/nav things only used used mine once (since given it away) and it landed me in a farmyard the laugh was without the thing i could have driven to the place i wanted to be, i thought the thing knew a short cut, modern technology, bah,nowt wrong with the old map, the only navigation equiptment i ever owned was a 1954 AA handbook and a 1957 AtoZ of London, only put them into the re-cycling bin last year along with several old black book, brown book and paper expired HGV licences.
thanks harry long retired.
ha ha well harry I’ve never had one either. nor them bridge height map ones. We pull 15 6"" and 16 2" trailers and if you look at one of them height maps and try and plan a way round it is a fukcing nightmare 
best way I’ve found is just go and if you come to low bridge just go to plan B. look at your map and find the easiest most sensible way, but ■■■■ all them maps with heights marked up, you’d never get there. Ive been down some ■■■■■■ B roads to avoid bridges because I had to do it, no other choice, bet you and norm and dave and chris were the same. them 15 foot trailers are bad enough but you get diverted with one of them 16 foot ■■■■■ we pull out of batchelors at ashford, and you fukcin know about it. heres a funny for you… 
was shunting and pulled 15 6" trailer out 15 6" shed after I’d lifted trailer up on tug and pulled half the fukcing roof down. still got a job though 
on shunting and reversed trailer into unit which was about a month old. ooohhhh fuuukkkccc 
went to office to tell boss and he said well driver shouldnt have parked it there!"£■■? 
was MY fault i hit the bugger
hiya,
Jimmy m, i was a bit like the guy who pulled up on Archway and asked a local if i was in London yet, when i got the positive “yes mate” i just asked him where he wanted the load of timber dropped off, job done, piece of cake the driving game, all done with mirrors and not a sat-nav in sight, got owt up north. 
thanks harry long retired.
Harry, you must have done some M/E work, , like Bradford, Birmingham, Southall.
Norman Ingram:
Harry, you must have done some M/E work,
I did tanker work in t’far east - Immingham,Cromer,Lowestoft and a bit of middle east - Lincoln and Haverhill.Near east was Retford,maybe Worksop and a bit of Leicester and Notts chucked in.As far as Northants was concerned - well it were neither here nor there really but Corby was middle eastern Scotland I suppose
i done loads of Turkey, and chicken and beef burgers.
Whats happened to the main men off this thread,hope they are not shovelling snow again. 
hiya,
Not snow shovelling Dave just busy with medical and dental appointments over the last few days and child minding in-between, the little-uns school is one of the few locally that remained open during the recent bad weather, never went to school very often when i was of school age but i’m making up for it now spend more time going through the the school gates than i ever did as a school kid, more medical stuff over the next couple of weeks and then i get paroled for a while, i certainly get more doctors appointments than erections these days.
thanks harry long retired.

Good on you Harry,thought you and Norm had been a bit quiet last couple of days.Snow is melting quite fast here,hope it doesn’t flood the poor devils in Hereford and Worcester,they cop it if we have heavy rain or snow a few days later with flooding.
Cheers Dave.
harry we are all thinking of you.
Harry, the lads would like to know, how many doctors appointments, and most of all, how many erections? PS do not make it too many, I may not be able to compete.
hiya,
Last week now let me think, two doctors one dentist, seven erections but i had to waste a couple of those they coincided with docs appointments, i know you’re saying thats not many but i’m pushing 74 you know.
thats harry long retired.
i take my hat off to harry and norm. brilliant guys.
Harry to me it is a lot, this Diabetes is known for keeping the flag at half mast, by the time I get to attention, it takes so long, that I have forgot the reason why I wanted it for in the first place, . But when I was a young lad, I would get so excited when I had a dream, that I would sometimes pole vault out of the bed, and even out of the window
hiya,
Norm forget the diabetes i do, straight out of bed in the morning and into an ice cold bath, but i’m not being responsible if you’re old lady leaves you because of you becoming a ■■■-maniac and being over demanding in the bedroom,bathroom,kitchen and even the garden shed.
thanks harry long retired.
I do believe you can still get plaster of paris,not sure if your good ladies would appreciate that though,Harry & Norm,perhaps a packet of paxo and a jug of water.
Cheers Dave.
Dave you are as welcome as a hole in the head, still I’m British and have a stiff upper lip but that and a stiff neck is all I ever have
