I’m the same as you Larry,never smoked,can’t stand cigarettes or to be near anyone smoking.I like a drink of beer. I don’t get down about anything.Had to call an end to my lorry driving after a bad accident,but it could have been worse.
Several of my friends are no longer with us,but that’s the way it goes.Still have plenty of good friends in haulage and drivers,always good to meet up and chew the fat.There isn’t any substitute for being out on the road in a lorry and I would go back to it tomorrow if I could rules regs the lot.
Cheers Dave.
Well I still have my class one, but this new intro. CPC, for drivers has made my mind up not to renew it next year,. Im still looking around for a Foden Tractor Unit , 50/60s. S 20/21/36.Model. , just to play with at the shows, & I can remove the 5Th wheel so I can drive it on car licence, but having said that my son could allways drive it for me, a trailer with living quarters would be good also, for the shows farther away, but the missus wouldnt be too keen Im sorry to say, she never liked wagons , just the money I earned with them, , I wonder why ■■?. Happy good old days Larry

I know of one with the haulmaster cab for sale,but that is an X reg early 80’s.It is an artic with a 265 Rolls engine.Will keep my ear to the ground there are still some good old motors around. I know of quite a few that don’t like this DCPC,its been bad enough with the registering of the TM CPC’s for this December change.Its more EU stuff we could do without.

Will send a letter to Norm forthwith Harry asking Norm to ignore the previous appeal. Will ask him instead to get you sent to the natural history museum,where your devotion to firewater can be recorded for future generations

Cheers Dave.
As far as I can see these so called do gooders Are only looking after themselves , I wont go too far on this matter, but they think every body should think like them, all I can say to them /// get a life, try being a proper wagon driver like I & a lot more did, but thats my oppinion lads , take it or leave, nothing will change me or my lifestyle, till the day I meet my maker.From a happy as Larry could ever be.
Well I have never been classed as a do gooder before,but I do like to help my fellow man .
Well no offence but as the old Gordie saying goes if the CAP FITS WARE IT, Regards Larry
hiya,
Yes Dave pack me off to the museum by all means but only after I croak at least I won’t require refrigeration I’ll be well enough pickled to lie about in there forever without the need for any further preservatives,you see Dave thoughtful to the end, I just hope they appreciate all my efforts and help finance the ongoing pickling process but until the first consignment arrives I’ll just have to consume my own diminishing stocvkpile and hope Father Christmas slips me a few bottles to top up the cellar just hope the family read this and take the hint I’ve got a wardrobe full of bleedin cardies and drawers brimming with socks, have just reduced my stockpile a little further and if I don’t down it quickly It’ll get to room temperature and start to evaporate, now wouldn’t that be a waste, goodnight and cheers hic hic.
thanks harry long retired.
You will have to get a stall on te market Harry and sell all those socks and scarves also the candles to raise some revenue for the pickling juice. As for Larry I have plenty of caps,don’t wear them much have a good head of hair.Don’t think anyone who knows me would put me in the do good-er category. .Keep drinking the malt chaps only jesting .
Cheers Dave.

Dave you look as if you have just received a delivery and ALL the bottles were empty not only had the angels water evaporated but the crates of newky brown had all leaked and knowing how much care the couriers will have taken I would guess there would be no broken bottles.
cheers Johnnie

Funny you should mention the bottles being empty.Had a home delivery from Asda about a month back.There was 12 bottles of newkie in the order,but when the driver fetched the crate in the bottles were half empty.The tops were still on,but because of the rough handling and possibly driving a lot had fizzed out,needless to say they were sent back and I had a refund
Cheers Dave.
Right lads I have read 5pages to catch up, I have not been on for two days, due to Sky, they said I had gone over my 2gb allowance, but would not penalise me this time, but if I go over in the next five months they will put me on a use as much as you like contract at £7.50 per month. 
I have been on for over 4 years and never paid for broadband. 
So you can see why I pulled back. Now I can solve the three stooges problem with women, Larry , Harry, & Johnnie for you I have sorted a pleasant way of controlling your spouses, first get a clean bucket and fill it to almost to the top with single malt and lower your head into the bucket slowly drinking, this could take several days, and the aroma when you have reached the bottom of the bucket will overpower the strongest northern lass and will not be able to get within 20 foot of you, if they try to shout abuse, just reply " What" then they think the whisky has sent you deaf. If they try to get closer they past out with the fume’s ! 
Doesn’t look as if the whisky drinkers are rising to the bait Norm ! That ain’t a bad deal getting your broadband for nowt.I suppose its part of your sky package is it.We have sky,but on AOL for the broadband which is very slow.We are two miles away from the telephone exchange and the lines in this area need updating.Its annoying as half the time we can’t watch you-tube or play music on the Internet.That’s the price for living in the sticks 
.
Cheers Dave.
Norman there is noway that it is going to take several days and I have used a large bucket but I did eat 2 spoonfuls of salt first and I have now managed to half empty the bucket

You didn’t say what size the bucket was Johnnie.Two gallon 
Don’t answer with a gob full of scotch you might spit it out and waste it .
Cheers Dave.
Oh dear, what a waste, putting malts into a bucket, no way… except .only if the bucket was lead crystal glass. mind you I may be a fussy old bugger, but my dear old grandad used to say it allways should be consumed properley, IE, in a lead crystal glass, I still have his old Decanter, & I allways keep it topped up, with only the finest malts money can buy, or what I can afford, Things are bad at the moment I have to go for all the bargains, Glenmorangie at Tescos today £28.00 per Litre, £7.00. off the normal price, well I had to goe for it, the winters comming on , & who knowes I might get snowed in , so one must have plenty off antifreeze in stock, & I dont mean the cars. Anyway the winter heating allowance is due, £200.00. , thats near enough 7 litres, cant be bad. it saves me a bit of pocket money, Regards Larry of the Glen—Morangie, consumers club. have a nice evening lads, I am.
You might be able to afford a drop more Larry.A lot of people are campaigning to get the winter fuel allowance back up to £250.
Hope they do,dropping it when everything else is going up in price is extracting the urine .
Cheers Dave.
