Has anyone met spanish bob? 
I was introduced to bob in milan about ten years ago when he worked for murfitts
I saw him again on the train this week… 
And he still wears make-up, a big fluffy jumper, ski-pants… The looks the spanish were giving him
christ on a bike. bob still around ? how is gaylord ?. aint clapped eyes on him for 6 years at least. who is he working for john ?. bet he looked a site as always. remember once in cadiz a spaniard+a porgi had a fight over him till the obvious was pointed out .then they turned on bob. only to be laid flat out with one punch each. ahh good old days
Good to hear he hasnt changed his ways !!!
First time I met him was in the (laughingly called) drivers tea room at Murfitts, about a week after I had started
Was nattering away to the drivers when this … errrrrrr… Vision… in pink entered the room, complete with fluffy slippers skin tight pink trousers and a fluffy pink jumper, make up and few days stubble on his chin…
Not one of the old hands said a word, or batted an eyelid, and he just joined in the conversation like any other driver, while the few new guys were sitting there thinking this has to be a wind up…
After a while on the company Bob , you realised was just another driver, and despite his dress sense, had a wicked sense of humour. !!! and a reputation for being able to sort out any problems caused by his attire with a rather good right hook.
Now Splinter was a different sort of fella complettly… I wonder what he is doing now !!!

I heard that one several years ago Jon.
He didn’t say anything when I was still calling him Bob, a couple of years after I’d heard it.
it was still bob when i saw him the other week
if it was anne marie, he would say so and i’d address him as that, it wouldn’t bother me none
didn’t recognise most of those names BD but from further back; micky plant from yaxley, “geordie” geoff welford, puggy, phil wigget, tim davies, mick prokopiw (sp.?) polish tom, eric savage, tony venni, dave berwick, pete lord, eric wall, hughie ashton, nigel hales, “squeaky” neville weathall, mike baldwin, andy “hippy” belcher, mick cook, steve blackmore, dave fuller from oxford, paul godfrey, tony claxton, “sad” bob hill, rainer “herman” boehme, bob hunter, pervy simon dodd and his mate in perversion dan mcloughlin, mitch morris, and off the double teams john & lynn etherington
whoo, have to have a sit down after all that brain exertion 
Geordie is on for Eddies Stobarts at crick now for last few years.
