Well Harry everyone seems to like your peculiar replys, so why change a winning combination, just keep being a daft old sod, " That you have had years of training at the job", by being a long distance lorry driver, over short distances. 
hiya,
Yep Norm learned the trade from the lorry driving fraternity also how to be a crackpot without really trying, i know it’s hard to believe my old pal but i’ve even come across bigger crackpots than me, you have got to be able to laugh at yourself if you wan’t to be any good at ■■■■ taking.
thanks harry long retired.
Of course I know you would never include me in being a bigger crackpot than you, 
would you 
but it would be a close run race, .
hiya,
Norm if you’re in Brighton specifically for a dip in the briny then you are definitely dafter than me, but if you are ogling all the talent out and about with their zimmer frames and on their mobility scooters, there’s plenty down there, then we may be just level ■■■■■■■ in the crackpot stakes,enjoy yourself and don’t do anything i would’nt do, cheerio.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Harry,
Norm’s gone to the annual grab a Granny contest,he could be on a winner or a whiner. 
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Knowing old Norm he’ll back a winner, should be renamed Midas or Goldfinger, but sure as hell it’ll be an each way bet, i’m still awaiting surefire racing information so’s i can win enough wonga to have a midwinter break in the sunny south and find out how our much wealthier brethren live. all good racing information will be acted upon but never payed for.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
I see there’s another British winnner on the Euro lottery,could be Norm,he seems to have some winning ways about him.
Good luck with the Horses Harry.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave i’m going to stop studying form from now on and just concentrate on the horses, check on things like has the horse got four legs, is it still breathing is it a racehorse and not a Blackpool sands donkey, i’m beginning to think i should i return to using a pin to make my selections, in the words of my teachers, yes all of them, could do better, possibly due to not spending much time at school.
thanks harry long retired.
Not to worry Harry,at least you have an interest,its better than having nothing to concentrate your thoughts on,other than women and lorries. I suppose there is a link,the horse was before the lorry,and when you parked the lorry,the woman came after,in a manner of speaking.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave the ladies have on occasion been a bit good and this has led to the lorry being parked up a little longer than it was supposed to be, but you would’nt have been able to tell, the log book never lied, they say you can’t put the cart before the horse but i’ve had a bloody good try, and i have been single a few times which sort of made things OK.
thanks harry long retired.

Go on admit it Harry,your like me,you would not be without a lady.It’s better to have one earache and all,than be on your own,mind you,a dog is good company.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do was part with my two dogs a couple of rascally Jack Russells,Eric and Ernie (Morcambe and Wise) this came about due to my illness when my blood count was very low and there was a good chance i could have caught an infection from them and i was obliged to have them kenneled outside it was’nt fair on them being restricted to the rear garden when they had become used to at least a five mile trek every day the eldest was 7 the youngest was 5 had each of them since 6 weeks old, am still told to keep away from animals and anything/body who i may catch a cold from, it’s got something to do with a weakened immune system brought about by chemotherapy, but did get a dollop of somebody’s blood, thank you, that did improve things a bit, would have another dog tomorrow but at nearly 74 i might go and croak before he did and my old lady can only tolerate dogs for my pleasure, so again that would be rather unfair on the dog having to go through the stress of the rehomeing process, but do get the job of cat sitting the daughter’s two tabby’s when she and her hubby are on holiday, and i can only tolerate cats in small doses.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
I remember you saying about the situation with your dogs before,it must have been heartbreaking for you,especially when you were not at your best as well,its bad enough when you loose them when they are old. I am like you,a big fan of terriers,this little cairn we have now is a super little dog,as heedless as hell,but a lovely natured dog,he thinks everyone is his freind,he’s going to have a shock when he meets one that doesn’t like dogs. I’m like you,not fussed on cats,don’t mind a ■■■■■ 
.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
There you go Dave I can add senility to my CV, I did’nt know that i’d spoken about my two best friends previously, and can barely remember what a ■■■■■ is,but i seem to think it’s what my old lady used to deprive me of when i could remember what it was, eh.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
It was a long time ago that you told me. I don’t remember half what I’ve put on these threads over the last 18 months or so.I even had to re register just over 12 months ago,forgot my password,so had to come on again. But not to worry,get a lot of pleasure out of these threads,we all have plenty in common lorries and bullsh#t plus a lot of banter,its all god funand passes the time.
Cheers Dave.
best friends you can have harry. i cant think what so say next so I wont.
hiya,
MY really best pal was my willy, but i can no longer see it.
thanks harry long retired.

Don’t they sell magnifying glasses up your way Harry.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Got a magnifying glass Dave but can’t find my specs so’s i can look for it, now i asked the doc if he could help me, he told me to reduce my waistline saying how do you expect anything to grow in the shade, and don’t tell me to look at my reflection i don’t do mirrors,
thanks harry long retired.
Hello lads I’m back, a few hundred smackers less due to my grandaughters, they told me when we went in a Irish pub in Bournemouth for a meal, they did not want to go in the next night, not because they did not like the food, but but because a man stared at them, it was not you Dave , I also thought I might have won the euro lottery, because I had not checked my ticket, but then they said some one had put a claim in. 
. Yes the Travelodge in Westhill road was quite good the breakfast well worth having, it was a buffet, eat as much as you want, £7-50 if you pay there, but £5-80 if booked on line.
