Early start, 0600 Mon. I’ll be run across to the dealer to pick up my wagon. Trailer-change in the yard too a load for Falkirk. After that ■■
I need to get checked over at Hospital ASAP. On Fri’, parked up at Carnforth for the night. I arrived there pretty late and was feeling a bit dodgy so only had an omlette for my dinner. An hour or so later I started getting stomach pain (this happened once before and I’ve been on pills for the problem for 2 n a half months). Eventually I got dressed again and got them to call an ambulance. I was released from hospital at about 1500 Sat. Drove my wagon to the dealer for its service. Took the works van home to start my W/E off.

I start “burger flipping” for Viamaster Transport tomorrow :confused: If I agree to them putting me through my ADR I could “flip” and extra “burger” per hour too. :confused:

Not planning to be here long but sometimes you have to let your “I won’t work for less than £10/hr” standards slip so you can pay the bills at this time of the year … :frowning:

I’m soooo looking forward to my N-reg 3-series Scania too. Will see how it goes for a few weeks.

Rob,
Make sure that if you work 60/70 hours in one week that you get LARGE fries with your burgers.

I think your daughter is going to cost you a heck of a lot more than $22 over the coming years. :wink: :smiley:

So I get this phone call just before I’m about to go to bed on Sunday…
“yeah…make that an 8:30 start”
“yer 'avin a larf” sez I (or words to that effect) :angry:
…rolls in at 8:30…
“not picked, not loaded”
“yer 'avin a larf” sez I (or other words to that effect accompanied by much grumbling) :imp: :imp:
11:00 - “you’re loaded (hands over keys and paperwork) your mates around here somewhere, probably in the canteen” - fat chance, he went home hours ago, they call for replacement :open_mouth:
11:55 - new mate turns up, off we go… :unamused:

Second drop in Cragg Vale, well when I say ‘in’ Cragg Vale I mean ‘see that little squiggle going out of Cragg Vale into the back of beyond’…hmmmm, don’t put a wheel wrong because you will not get recovered from this…trees and bushes (bish, bosh), walls (scrape, crunch) gets to house at top with small yard - well, flattish area big enough for a 5 point turn - turn around for quick (yeah…right) getaway (boink)…“who put that bit of plastic on the ground, looks just like a bit of Iveco bumper” sez I (various words beginning with f,c,b,s and a). :imp: :imp: :blush:

So, finish the drops and back to the yard for 23:20. Walks into traffic office carrying spare grey plastic…
“again?” (it’s not that often - honest)
“should have sent a van like the customer said” sez I, in a colourful manner :laughing: “I’m off, I’ve had enough” and off I went for the next 3 days. At current performance levels I can look forward to another 3 days of late departures, abysmal route scheduling and “he lives where…?” drops starting on friday :unamused:

“yer 'avin a larf” sez I :stuck_out_tongue:
