hiya,
Me, rough as the proverbial bears rear so the females of the species must prefer a “bit of rough” to take me on.
thanks harry long retired.
Looks as if Norm’s the only smoothie on here Harry,not your archetype lorry driver like the rest of us,rough as the proverbial Badger or Bear’s posterior .
Cheers Dave.
My dreams are shattered, I always thought lorry drivers was tall dark and handsome, Dave said he is like his eyeball card, and only goes out at night ,so not to frighten the children.
Harry said he has aface like the back of a bus.
Chris is slow about going on Skype in case he scares someone.
Johnnie reckons he is better looking than Chris, but not by much.
Now myself being the fairest in the land and not cracking mirrors ever.
I am starting to feel like " Cinderella" but instead of having two ugly sisters.
I have got four ugly mates.

hiya,
See you managed to get a double up there Norm.
thanks harry long retired.
That is because I backed it each way.
no it was acting so slow I gave it another press, also the pointer was a little shakey, so I gave my laptop a purge, and cleared all updates I did not need, and it made it faster and solved my problems.

hiya,
Saurday did my usual lucky 15 Norm all canny prices but all second placers could have had a nice little lift if i’d backed them each way, i am now a former gambler, kaput, finito, washed-up but will still stick a few bob on the lottery English and Irish but the bookies is a no no from now on, could’nt pick my nose.
thanks harry long retired.
What a shame Harry, I can see Ladbroke going bankrupt,
but I do not think it will be long before you lapse and fill their cash box up again?

Cgeers Dave.

At least it’s cheaper doing it yourself Harry,than paying a plumber to install it for you.Thought I hadn’t seen much of you chaps on here.
Cheers Dave
Dave I got fed up with typing to myself
, then I was talking to Harry on Skype, then a couple of weeks I went on facebook, and all my nieces, nephews, and cousins and all their children overwhelmed me in search of knowledge and information, because I am the last of the family who has photo’s and information of their great great great grandparents, and they are all making their tree’s. Also I accepted Chris Webb as a friend, and saw a photo of him in a cap and a ■■■ in his mouth, and thought he reminded me of " Andy Capp", I did not see his feet, but I am sure he had his clogs on!
Sorry Chris I wear a cap also, that is a sign the hair is getting thin.

Hi Norm.
I don’t wear a cap nowadays,that was just for winter shunting.Years after that photo was taken Wincanton issued us with baseball caps and mine went in the skip.Never worn clogs,I’m not Dutch,the nearest I got to being Dutch is when I went to Amsterdam years ago.Oh,and I think my Ford Transconti was built in Holland as well.

Good to see you are ok Norm.I am on facebook myself,but rarely use it.Tracy spends quite a bit of time on there chatting to her friends and family.I was the same as Chris,wore a cap in the winter,still do occasionally.Still got a good barnet to keep my ead warm .
Cheers Dave.

I was about 48 when that was taken but I’m far better looking now,our lass says so.You can’t be like a film star and be a good driver or shunter as well.They also used to say “Keep thi cap on there’s woodpeckers about”.
As for being a wily driver I must have been 'cos I never got caught fiddling log sheets or books.
"Lend us thi face,I want to go rattin’ ". A regular statement over the two way radio and tannoy.I used to reply “I always wanted to be a warehouse supervisor but they found out me parents were married”.
