I agree Harry, I only stayed there once after tipping a load of acid at the Tate and Lyle factory. I usually ran back to Ma Butchers at Islington but a mate was staying so I joined him. A one off.

Had two or three PM’s off David from Switzerland Harry.I think we should get one of the Swiss banks to sponsor us.Will have to find the address of the gnomes of Zurich 
.
Cheers Dave.
Yes I already mentioned it on the thread Harry, I am wondering if it is Italian, French, or German Swiss, I should have told them I was almost kick out for being of weigh of 28 ton, so I told them to weigh me, I was allowed to deliver.
I took this shot yesterday on the hills around Burnhope, (near Pontop Pike mast). For some reason a hot air balloon
seemed an appropriate picture for this thread. 
It might be a good idea for the picture to be awarded on a regular
basis by the originator of the thread. Who would win it most often? 
regards Kev.

Ang, you couldn’t get me up in one of those things for a gold pig!! I don’t
like flying anyway so going up there without an engine is a no brainer. 
regards Kev.
On second thoughts a bottle of Bushmills Black might be a good incentive.
any offers■■?
Hmm, Kev I think a euro vision song would be just the job for you. Looking high high high, searching low low low, wondering why why why. 
That he drinks so so so, that last six words is not in the song, but a slight connection, 
That my heart won’t go ! Because of the whisky you might go as high as a kite. 
Norman Ingram:

Norman, when I worked for Onward I wrote a couple of stupid poems (I use the word poem very loosely) for the company magazine,
I used the nom de plume, “The Poet Lorryit”. I think I should pass the accolade on to you now. There will unfortunately be a small
fee involved to make the transfer legal. A bottle of Bushmills Black should cover the costs involved, If obtaining the aforesaid
tipple causes you any problems in the wilds of Northhant’s, I can be persuaded to accept an inferior (but still very tasty) brand,
Dimple Haig would suffice. Thanking you in anticipation, Kev.

Are you related to Kilroy Kev ?
hiya,
Related to Kilroy?? he is Kilroy.
thanks harry long retired.
hiya,
Kev set off one sunny day,
In the hot air balloon,
But quickly he ran out of gas,
And landed in the Toon
He landed near the Labour Club,
So popped in for a jar,
But he had one too many,
And couldn’t find his car.
Another poet who doesn’t know it.
thanks harry long retired.
I propose that Harry Gill is officially appointed Poet Laureate !
