Harry,bugger that woodpecker off and give me hand with this camel,I want it on t’headboard so I can rope it down to leave room for some cobras over the back axle.Well I think that’s what I was told to do,'cos when I asked about the camel this Egyptian just said “a load of old cobras”. I’ve got Bradford market to do when I’ve got loaded…
T’other one standing up has got a Cairo trunk to do

Well it’s keeping 'em off the other threads (and the streets) at least
If anybody thinks that every one on this thread is mad then think again. We are all sat inside and we are all nice and warm , not like those poor lorry drivers stuck in the snow on the A57 or all over The British Isles at the moment. O.K. we’ve all been there, we have all had the shovel, the Thermos flask, the Moon Boots and we have got an endless supply of brightly coloured Smarties from The Nurse .
Is it me or don’t Smarties taste the same as they did years ago.
And when Dennis sees that photo I am sure that he can’t wait to get his hands on the job and show us how to do a couple of Barrel Hitchies .
hiya,
Who’s sat indoors in the warm i’m sitting in the garden don’t want to miss all the fun i used to have on Shap trying to get warm in an ERF with a 6lw while waiting to get underway do you think i’m soft in the head or what.
thanks harry long retired.

I’ll give you a knock “H” when the bobby comes along the line and tells me they are moving again!I’m just nipping down to the Jungle to fill my flask!!! Its “monkeys” out here on our Patio to-night though!!!Dennis.
Chris Webb:
I was just thinking who invented fractions…was it Henry the Eighth?
Charlie Drake played bowls somewhere didn’t he,I’m totally confused now.
Nothing wrong with your memory Chris, I can vouch for that.
Your dead right, Charlie Drake one of Englands greatest mariners did play bowls for Plymouth Argyle.
Is that the same team Norman plays for
Who sammie,Norman Argyle? Thanks Steve,I knew I were right about Charlie Drake - he licked Nelson at Trafalgar Square,bloody Italians.
You’ve got it all wrong you must be getting confused.Charlie Drake got sent out by Maggie Thatcher to fight the Spanish navy who came all the way from Argentina to get us.But the Argys lost their way and ended on the rocks in Scotland and Ireland.The cook on Drake’s boat,who was called Fletcher Christain,then decided that he wanted to be Captain instead so he started a mutiny.Charlie got thrown into a lifeboat and sailed it back from Trafalgar.Captain cook and the rest of the mutineers then took Drake’s ship to Australia but they decided that the Aborigine birds were’nt as good looking as the ones on the islands where they’d stopped before to fill up with diesel on the way.
you are forgetting the doodle twins , polly and wally they were called . i’m not sure what they did but they did it all the live long day …
Harry, if your sat out in the garden in this weather then just make sure that you have got your Balaclava on, your string vest, your Wooly Pully, your Dufflecoat and don’t forget your mittons with the string attached.
And if you think that the men in their little white coats are coming to get you then it’s probaly those two snowmen that the kids across the road have made and it’s time to add some more snow in that single malt of yours .

Not me Dennis,I was supervising
It was taken at the Point of Ayre,the northern tip of the Isle of Man.Cemex have a gravel pit there and - it’s a long story - but years ago when it was RMC they ordered Scammells as a fleet replacement and ended up with camels.They had a rayt job persuading The Isle of Man Steam Racket to take them back to Heysham and Chester Zoo.The wagon belongs to a local farmer,he was the only one who would load and deliver the bleating things to the Sea Terminal,he was also the only one who could rope 'em down a bit.Whitehaven Town council were approached to see if they wanted to buy 'em but they said they’d got enough hassle with Manx going over by boat at night and bloody pillaging ■■■■■■■ and we could shove the camels where the sun don’t shine.
Must go,looks like it’s starting to snow and have to go into Douglas to put some money in t’bank…
Dennis,the snow is heading your way…

Richard
Anyone seen my camel■■?
Are you sure that you had one because you’re the tenth person who’s trying to claim that they’ve lost one but we’ve only found two and they had their owners addresses on a tag round their necks.

MaggieD,they weren’t Manx camels,they came over by mistake when RMC ordered Scammells and got Camels instead. There are still one or two escapees on Snaefell but they come down and graze on seaweed on Douglas beach when weather is bad.
In fact I saw two last night when I was on my home from the pub…well I think they were camels,might have been the beer.
I’ll get a photo…

hiya,
Me talking crap i’ll have you know i represent that remark,
and those camels Chris hope you can still remember how to brick them up.

Ah the old camel jokes Harry.Getting up at 3 in a morning so you didn’t get an ugly one and to make 'em go a brick in each hand and whop 'em round their knackers.“Did it hurt? Only when you got yer thumbs trapped”.
Raining cats and dogs here now,no wonder the bloody drains are blocked.
