Indeed Tribsa!
Haven’t seen him in over 20 years. I imagine , like all of us , he’s " filled out " a bit.
Unlike me of course.
I still maintain a constant 70.8 kilos as per the 1970’s and have long fair hair…Is that Paul sitting next to Steve?
I can well believe the weight Stuart. And the long fair hair? Possibly. Do you still wear the pink jeans and frilly shirt? You looked very fetching as I remember. Regards Charlie. : 
Ha! Not any more Charlie. ( if I ever did 
)
A long time gone by since those days ( particularly Sunday’s ) on the Venture / Valiant / IV etc , it would be interesting to see a few O.B.A.T.B pics. ( On board, at the bar ) and see what we were wearing back then… I’m sure there were a lot of long collars and flowery shirts going on. ( well, maybe not on Pat Scorey 
) his standard uniform was always blue jeans , black t shirt , black cardigan and black clogs. Wallet on chain stuffed in back pocket. ) bless him.
Anyone know how he is these days??
Hope the eye op went well Charlie.
Best wishes to you and the long suffering Rose. Balders.
Scorey “with a P!” is rather well and attended the August 2015 “Bash”.

Balders & John,Thank you both for your advice regarding my career moves,and yes John I did see you on Saturday night outside the General Hospital,in your nurses outfit up to your old tricks again, showing the young nurses your pickled onions.
Stu here is another Christmas party pic,who is the young fresh faced Mancunian in the bottom right hand corner ?
Regarding Len Tiller I seem to remember him having his own business with an office on an industrial estate off Wallisdown Road Bournemouth,I may be wrong.
Regards
Richard

Richard, regarding Len Tiller you are correct with him having an office on the Industrial Estate at Wallisdown Road it was just along by Ryvitas he was also did a bit of work for Partrans as I used to do a bit of subbying to him for Ridgers and I had to go to Thrapston a few times to collect tilts for shipping out through Poole. I also done a bit for a chap by the name of Peter MacDonald who lived near Brockenhurst and pulled for Vasco Line which was something to do with Van Ommeren if anybody remembers them.Regards Todd
Hi Todd,
When I’ve got some time I’ll relate a story about Len Tiller and one of my drivers.
In the meantime an old pic to keep us off page 2.
Regards
Richard
Well done Richard!
Let’s all make an effort to keep it up.
I was speaking to the local flasher here in the village yesterday.
He said he was going to retire… But is now going to stick it out for another year

Sorry Richard.Your DKV card and a photo of Gary and Valerie is all I have to eek out my meagre penson. I was hoping for a jar of pickled shallots but they seem to have done the disapearing trick. Ah well.Can`t grumble.Regards Charlie
Chas I still have ample supplies of pickled shalotts in my store they just need transport, no good posting them I did that once with runner beans and parcelled them all up to send to a friend in Wareham but when I got to the Post Office she charged me £8.25p to send them and I did not have the heart not to post as I had already told me mate they were on there way, Buzzer.
Good morning John. I have three guys who are ready willing and able to collect said shallots. However would they ever reach Alton I’m not sure. A shifty bunch.would you buy a second hand car from one of these? I think not! Regards Charlie.
Hi John
Theres a haulage firm in Segensworth white lorries blue& silver strip they might deliver the shalotts to alton
Cheers Rich
I had a very pleasant surprise this morning. Sitting in my armchair examining the inside of my eyelids when the doorbell rang.I opened the door in my pyjamas.( Funny place to have a door ) Standing there were MaggieD,Jimski and Mappo. After drinking all my coffee.Eating all the mince pies and making lewd suggestions to the girl who was doing Roses hair they dragged me out to an Inn of ill repute and forced drink and food down me.I made a token struggle but gave in and enjoyed the lunch.Many thanks to the three of you for making an old pensioner very happy. The only setback was when I got home I Found my watch,wallet and stick were missing. Ah well must not grumble. Regards Charlie

Hi Charlie,
It was nice to see you at Alton Towers yesterday, it was a tight squeeze with the four of us in Jimski’s F89 the only injury being to Mappo when he stubbed his toe after the ■■■■■■■■ his sandal broke as he was getting on the bunk. I was confused when you introduced Rose’s hairdresser as Deb as she spoke with a French accent,her French registered moped was outside and she kept asking if we knew a Gary from the Isle of Wight !!
I don’t know who has got your wallet,but if you could let me have your PIN number it would be appreciated 
Regards
Richard
It was a pleasure to see you all yesterday, gave me a chance to show off my new hearing aids… 
Just to put your mind at rest Richard, i,ve put my sandals into the local cobblers, and i,m sending Jimski the bill…
Charlie could you please let me know when Rose is having her hair done again, as i think i,ve fallen in love… 
Oh and by the way Charlie, your watch is at the menders, cos it was running slow and your stick broke under my weight… :
Have you got another one ■■
Can I just thank you three for making me laugh out loud , or " lol " as I believe the youngn’s say these days…
Great stuff. I think you should get the prize for best post of the year 
I hope you all enjoyed your meal and look forward to any pics??
