Hiya Dave so sorry to hear that you are still having to fight the good fight Mate but I hope it is just a “blip” and you will shortly come out on top so to speak ! Rest assured you can count on us Lads to keep you positive with all the “craic” eh! Anyway Best Wishes and here’s to you making a full recovery in the near future. Regards Dennis.
Hello Rigsby,
how are you getting on? Have you managed to get that promised breakfast from Retired Old ■■■■ yet?
Hi Dave, all the best mate, a terrible bit of news, but lung cancer is no longer the killer it once was.

More scans, poking and prodding , so now I have to go to The Christie every day for a month for radiotherapy to hold it back , or hopefully put it into remission . Only time will tell but I only look on the good side , I’ve even started reading a 10 part book series , lol . Thanks for all your concern , onward and upward . Dave
Wishing yo well rigsby, been watching the Cancer Hospital series on BBC1, last night it was lung cancer, more types of treatment options available now it would seem.

[emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] If you gave CPC courses Dave, the fee would have been worth it for the craic alone.

That’s the Spirit Dave, 
Keep it up, 
Best Wishes with the treatment.

Hiya.
Riggers my old mate keep fighting the bugga, us lorry drivers unlike
today’s so called “truckers” who are all gay curtain tugger’s and can
only steer automatic stuff not proper drivers like we was, I know
from experience and that’s of the cancer thingy you do get tired of
having to attend all the treatments but keep going Dave I want you
around for a long time yet I must get a brekkie and a tea or two out
of that well stuffed wallet that it’s said you guard like the crown
jewels and has been said stinks of mothballs, getting well mate is
my wish for you, us old bugga’s take a bit of knocking down.
thanks harry, long retired.

Just to make things crystal and to remind members of the MBC (Macclesfield Breakfast Club) just where we are in relation to actually PAYING for the grub, a) it’s Rigsby’s turn to pay and b) young Punchard foolishly volunteered to pay some months ago. Excuses abound for not meeting their obligations, DP seems to be tearing around from one end of the country to the other with half a load (poorly sheeted and secured despite his FREE R&S course) and that Rigsby chap claims to have a regular daily appointment with some medical chap in Manchester.
If I have to buy my own Full Monty Breakfast it’s going to put a fairly large dent in my state pension. I may even have to call on a certain former ■■■■■■■■ Haulage magnate for assistance. After all, he claims to have subsidised the operations of BRS when I was employed by them so he’ll hardly miss the cost of the odd breakfast, I reckon.
With regard to DP’s comment regarding CPC courses providing snap, I must yet again point out that Mr. Punchard has not, as yet paid one single penny for his course. And to be perfectly truthful, I’m not holding my breath.
As for you, Mr. Gill, you can join the queue for breakfast on Riggers, but, I suspect that, like me, you will be waiting a long time.
There is an easy way out of your predicament ROF, just make your own breakfast and sod the rest of them.
Pete.

Keeping on plodding on Harry in proper lorry driving style . Starting the radiotherapy thing on Friday for 20 sessions , so I’ll just go with the flow , I don’t much fancy the alternative just yet . I’ve got to get the better of it or poor old ROF would be heartbroken to miss a free breakfast . I’ve managed to sneak in and out of Macc without him noticing up to now but it’s only a matter of time until he finds out where I live . I reckon if I could queue for days at Liverpool docks back in the day , 20 trips to Christie for a light toasting should be a doddle . Dave

Christies will sort you out Dave, they are the best. I once knew a fella who travelled there from Yorkshire 3 times a week…but it was worth it…they sorted him out and he got many more years out of life.
This 'ere Macclesfield Breakfast Club…can anybody come or is it limited to slightly unhinged old lorry drivers AND, if outsiders can come and have to travel a fair distance…can we claim travel expenses from the host at the event. And I’m not travelling for a slice of toast and a small tea, (I’m a growing lad)
I hope I’m not being presumptuous but I assume the host will cover ALL costs for the assembled old lorry drivers.

By heck Brian , seeing as I’ve been elected to host the next meeting of the MBC I can only fall back on the poor pensioner plea . I’ll have to save my meagre spending money what "er indoors allows me , which is why I’ve been dodging ROF until the wallet fills up a little bit . I like the slightly unhinged bit , it perfectly describes the present membership . I am considering appealing for a whip-round to cover the cost of the petrol to and from Christie 20 times , but being a Yorkshireman you are excused . Dave

I’ll take that as a “not a bloody chance of paying” then.
Ye gods…I’ve heard some ‘sob stories’ in my time but “er indoors allows me”…that’s as good as it gets. I hope the other guests have been informed that they’ll have to fund themselves at this upcoming social event.

Not sure really, my invite STILL hasn’t arrived as yet? 
Purely a Post Office slip up, it will drop on the mat any day now I reckon.
