If he bought the unofficial official TNUK mascot aka ‘JM’ to the gig you’d be in a constant day dream and would forget how to drive a truck…and would spend most of your time using the onside cold showers :wink: :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Nice one, sounds like it could be an interesting few days.
I saw some Peter Smit trucks with parts of a stage on today. They were heading north on the M1, then when i pulled into Leicester forest east services, one of the drivers was asleep and in the front window it said something like U2 concept truck.

A sad night for Glasgow on Tuesday unless the mighty Arsenal can do us a favour and have two football grounds quiet at the same time. :laughing:

You couldn`t forget to turn your twist locks JD by any chance. :sunglasses: :smiling_imp:

no but next week im hoping for the transam lifestyle… free food, drink and not alot of work :laughing: :laughing: the handbrake wouldnt stand for me being away like them lads do, she gets hump on with 4 nights out when that happens.

give me a shout mate when you get there, that will be one of the stages being packed and shipped away to the u.s of a, only a week left on here now

will do mat, i could do with a few ideas on some tattoo’s :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :wink: :wink: :wink:

hey JD, a bit off topic but…

i had a motor today that must have been related to yours. on the limiter with the foot on the loud pedal it did 56 but as soon as i put cruise control on it dropped to 52 and it wouldnt go any higher unless i kept my foot on the pedal and to be honest it was quite a chilled out day, hardly any overtaking apart from knob-ed car drivers pootling along at 50. i might do it again tomorrow.

anyway back to U2,

enjoy it mate
