LibDem conference,me? I’d sooner stick pins in me eyes or go back driving a Scania 81.
We vote for our new government on 29th of this month. I thought Dennis was maybe on the Isle of Man,not the Isle of Wight,you can’t act like a tax exile in an extension of Hampshire.
It could be that Dennis is not wealthy enough to settle in the Isle of Man

He can’t log on,he has PC problems.

If it’s a wireless signal problem I could hang my router out of me winder facing Morecambe so he could get a signal. 
I’m sure our Dennis has got the funds to be an IOM resident,we need ex entrepeneurs to keep the cash flowing.

hiya,
Still here Larry but feel I am unable to contribute to this fine thread having just discovered that I am not in possession of the relevant paperwork stating that I’m crackers although my good lady confirms that I’m round the twist seemingly this isn’t sufficient proof, and here was me thinking that it was just like when I got my HGV licence you received it via (grandfather rights" I am exploring all avenues to find out if i can qualify for a certificate of insanity and get back to posting my usual rubbish,
I’ll just have to live in hope and hope you don’t miss me too much in the meantime.
thanks harry long retired.

I would say that you are one of the highest qualified members for Wit and Wisdom Harry .
Cheers Dave.
you are missing the point harry , if you got your hgv on grandfather rights that’s the same as being certified isn’t it ? everybody else had to take a test to prove they were crackers . if you explained what the job was like 40 years ago to your gp he would certify you for wanting to do it . my mrs gets upset if we are stuck in a traffic jam , but when you have queued for 3 days at liverpool docks to get tipped one hour is nothing . dave

It’s the only way to be! you can’t stop that day coming when you step off, so to speak, but you have to make the best of what you have left. 
I have stayed away from this thread as I considered I’d had two lives! so when I got to mid thirties I started again! Now though, as I sit here, hopefully recovering from a second heart ‘event’ I have to concede I am in my early seventies! 
How I see it though, I woke up when it started so that has to be good and it wasn’t so severe as the first one, so there’s another bonus! You only have to look around you to see folk a lot worse off, I mean, some don’t even know about this forum, so how they get through the day I just don’t know! 
My advice is, just keep looking on the bright side and make it happen. Remember we only have to talk about wagons now, we don’t have to go and do it!
Oh Norman, in your post you put IoW, but I have had a word with the chief, in our division of the IoW Freedom Fighters and he assures me Dennis is not over here, well not through the legal channels anyway!

hiya,
Exactly Dave I had missed the point I most certainly must be round the bend when I think of it in that light, I’m going to listen to the Missus from now on when she accuses me of being stone mad I’ll agree with her and everything should quickly get back to normal, come to think of it I’m like most men I wouldn’t dare not listen to her, and how many times has the saying “you don’t have to be mad to work here but it does help” been uttered in your presence, so OK Dave point taken, happy to be ga ga.
thanks harry long retired.

I was the same as Harry then,certified by grandfather rights,and I never looked at it that way either Dave.
I remember getting up one morning about 0200 and I was getting dressed ready for work and our lass said “You are putting your boots on the wrong feet” I just said “Aye,they should be on your buggers”.
Happy days…sometimes.

A lot of people started driving lorries when the HGV licence came in.No one checked up if they had actually been driving a certain category of vehicle during the qualifying period.I know of a Pub landlord who signed for quite a few and he couldn’t drive a car.
Cheers Dave.
Well, I can join the crackers group, grandfather rights HGV licence, started in the late 50’s AND…hear this… sometime ago I was researching our family tree and in a census from the 1800’s we had a registered IMBECILE in the family. It’s all recorded, a Knottingley entry in the records of a Howram who was a “lime pit worker and imbecile”
i stand in awe brian , what an impeccable pedigree , proof positive ! i suppose you also have the final proof of insanity , a marriage licence . i often wondered why we got married and spent most of our lives down the road , but when i’d been wed a few years i knew the answer , they can’t nag when you’re not there . cheers , dave

Your memory is letting you down Brian,the HGV licence came in the 1969/70 along with the plating law and other legislation.
You meet all the criteria for this thread like the rest of us .
Cheers Dave.
