Bugger, I don't beleeeve it!! I tell you, there should be a 2 week course for Chairman on running clubs.. the amount of work effort and time that goes into it.. I tell you.. you lot don't know you've been born.. up at the crack (no dazza not you) and working till its time for work then home and no time for me tea before settling down to 3 Hrs of admin.. it's little wonder that I get the odd thread mixed up.. no thanks or appreciation just public humiliation at one little mistake.. just one.. no comments about all the good work.. Oh noooo.. not one.. wouldn't mind but me sinus's are playing up and I've got a cold.. in bed I should be.. but no.. I'm here admining and sorting out very important club stuff so everyone can feel safe and secure in the knowledge that club's not in the hands of a mad man.. I mean.. I don't even have an axe.. Just some secateurs for pruning the tree.. can't do much damage with them because they're special safety secateurs.. If I really tried I could have a little finger off but that's it..... anyway.. who's taken over from Dave for the Fun day.. yes that's right.. me.. on my own.. I've booked the weather and everything.... do you know how work that takes? Dancing in the street in my UB40 Boxer shorts.. got some funny looks.. but that's commitment to the cause you see, no namby pambering.. solid club work 24/7... The divorce comes through next week.. 'It's me or the club' she said.. I'll get you bags I said... no hesitation.. the club comes first.. my lads and lasses come first.. I love you all.. really.. like a big family we are that's spread all over.. All different shapes & sizes.. some ugly, some good looking.. Some mad and some really mad.. but I love you for what you are.... and I appreciate your efforts.. don't worry about me.. I'll soldier on.. unpaid.. unloved and miles from Birmingham.. Where's me sinus relief and night nurse..??? Doesn't half mix well with Stella..

See you in the morning.. as I've got some important club work to crack on with (no Dazza, not that type.... you'll go blind you know..)

 

You missed out a word in the sentence ".... do you know how work that takes?"

 

Al, you appear to have gone


..............I'll lend you my axe then you can practice being

 

What post

 

 

Simon, I'm going straight from work which is only about 10-15mins from the Brickworks so should be there for 19:00 as I'm finishing at 18:30.

 

Apologies folks but I won't be able to make tonight.

I know I've been a bit invisible but it's manic with work (year-end tomorrow) and Helen starting her own business venture as well.

I also better admit now that I'm away for the first 3 weeks of October and will miss next month's meet since I'm off on the Thurs (27th) as a VIP of Subaru at WRC Spain

I will do everything possible to make the next meet after that (mid-monther or month end) since I will be unveiling the return of my Scoob (after it's 6 month visit to the dark side).

It's finished as far as the build goes and due for final mapping on a Rolling Road whilst I'm away so will post the figures up when I get back....

 

Cool. I'm having a mare at work but will be there!!

 

Paul /Steff - YHPM

 

am gonna take a spin up tonight with my mate (he owns a v5 sti off road til next week ) got to take it easy though new clutch needs bedding for saturday

 

Working like a loon at the moment, but might have time to pop in on mi bike...

 

...just as the clock strikes 10pm - we'll warn the kitchens to go on standby...

 

 

Sorry couldn't make it folks ,just got finished now and am cream crackered.

 

Apple you have a reply.

 

Really wish I'd bothered now!

 

A good night once again, great to see you all

Shame about the rain on the way back although I did have the pleasure of following Al or should that be terrifying experience of trying to keep up with Al down a road I don't know that I could barely see in the p*ssing rain cos the wipers and lights on a classic are ****e

 

Wasn't too clever up the road either.. good run back though.. even if the rain slowed us down and some of the headlights coming the other way did make one or two bends a little interesting...

Seeing that I missed last months.. it was good to see you all again..

Looking forward to saturday now!!

 

Shame mate.. Surprising how much this 'thinking' lark takes it out of you!

You coming to the trackday on Saturday?

 

Al, no mention of the receivers being called in to the FG due to non-settlement of accounts?

Or, someone's done a runner and we know who it is...

 

Paul - I'll give you a ring tomorrow if I get chance as I'm nearly teeing off at that time (depending on the weather )

 

Andy.. The Police are holding off pending enquiries... Anyway, the person in question has paid me more than the food was worth to keep quiet...

What was the price of two chicken and a Mixed grill again? No point asking said person, as they're not going to know..

PS.. I'll be putting Ian's name forward to offer counseling and guidance

 

And back-up from Rum* if needed as he's another one with "previous"

 

HA HA, nice evening and good run home in the c-max, the wipers on this car are very good so no rain problems for me other than the traction, Should see ya later..

 

Hope you're not moaning about being given a C-Max as a courtesy car!!!!

**** me, I'd chop the STi in for onne tomorrow (apparently they don't understeer as much as the Scoob )

What's this? We've had another 'non-paying' runner?

Well, if it were me I'd be using the defence that;

1) I was distracted by the witty banter, especially the search for a 'Track-tag Idol'

and

2) I only ate half of my mixed grill, as a late arrival tucked into the other half, even insisting that I leave my family table and join him on the 'table of isolation' just so he didn't have to reach as far. My cunning plan to prevent chip theft by hiding most of them beneath a rather succulent looking onino ring was thwarted whan said onion ring was consumed, thus exposing a tiny mountain of chips, which soon disappeared down the gullet of said late arrival

Perhaps we should have a slush fund to cover any future incidents?

 

I thought the consensus was that we're using a dog t*rd wrapped in a secondhand Impreza floor mat. I can supply both on short notice....
Yesterday eve... The Truth...

98.275% of the mixed grill was consumed by a former Evo owner.
The balance (one chip) was offered to me. I accepted that offer.
My lateness was a function of being on my bike in the dark. Such was my dedication to the club that I rode to the FG and parked said two-wheeled device in an inaccessible and inconspiuous location.

Said former Evo owner's cunning plan comprised an invitation to sit at what rapidly became the evening's busiest table, augmented by an offer (apparently since revoked...) to scoff all his bloody chips...

 

spot the ex-lawyer...

"My lateness was a function of being on my bike in the dark. Such was my dedication to the club that I rode to the FG and parked said two-wheeled device in an inaccessible and inconspiuous location."

WOW!!!!

That would be a WHOLE 200 yards, downhill!!!!!!

You can buy yer own bleeding chips next time.

And WHERE'S ME WOTW????

THAT'S why you came on the push iron (push reynolds 431?)

 

Don't you mean your WOTWAC to go wth the TOG sticker?

 

Sorry i missed the trackday too. Just got back onto shifts and they started on Saturday morning.

At least i have my days off in the week again so can start doing the Driving days again.

I HOPE to be at the next meet.

Paul.
