Same over here, you either die of lung cancer at an early age or get smart and give up and grow older. Bit like there's old pilots and bold pilots but no old bold pilots.
Enjoy your fag whilst you can Jas, the way things are going it'll only be legal to smoke on Feb 29th between 1200 & 1201PM and then only if it's a full moon.

[Grockle]

I'll have an inside and outside sticker please ;)

[one_iota]

I'll have an inside and outside sticker please ;)

I have designed one that can be applied to the bottom of a glass-bottomed pewter tankard.

This is a useful reminder when one has downed another pint of the best and the publican has called "time gentlemen please" that one's sorrows have also been drowned...reassured that the Taxi won't have been made in or any where near Solihull and that one has a good chance of making it home without having to call Road Side Assist.

If we can get someone to post a decent recipe for home brewed and bottled Solihull Bitter I'll organise the labels. (I know I'm going to regret this). :D

I've got plenty of empty bottles:angel:

[one_iota]

Now the Solihull Bitter label is an in joke only for Land Rover Owners in similar company and the beer is not to be consumed in the presence of others,

So I designed a label that will probably start a pub brawl further west or east, north or south:

Hey Sleeps.
Tried to park on that overgrown grass out front but there's something solid under the grass. Yow that you've turned the lights on, I can see what it is.
It's a weathered mass of blue plastic.
Hang on a moment. I'll clear some more of this grass.


Well! I never!

It's a neglected one of those Bush Rangers. You know. The Range Rovers that were turned into Mokes on steroids.

[Sleepy]

one of those Bush Rangers.

Hello everyone.
Bartender, top shelf please I'm bushed.
I'll stick up a thread soon on the journey. What a blast. No dramas. Well no big dramas.

Brought the good weather back with me too, Sunshine in Melbourne, what a novelty.

Three things I learnt today:



Interstate truckies are excellent drivers.
I miss filling at the high flow pump.
Ear plugs are the worth every cent.

[Mick_Marsh]

Good to hear you made it back safely.
I must drop in soon for a looksee.
