Good morning POLLY -----I had a dream, and looking into my crystal ball the name Robert? or is it BOB suddenly jumped out.
Just how close is that ?
Who's a clever little bugger then?

He has done it three times already and got away with it, TIS said he has mad fits of depression.
Just like me.

This is is the winners trophy for the 2014 OFF golf tourney----went at it from a different slant, it has the makings of a great sideboard piece, if this don't turn the old fart golfers on---nothing will.
Went to lunch with an old friend of mine, Bjorn Christianson , he restores vintage motor bikes.
Has a Norton Commando and a Triumph T5 Trophy on the shop floor, have to say he's making a very fair job of restoring these two.
Watched soccer from Rio till late, so that's all your getting today, g'night all,J.
What is the trophy constructed of? Looks good. Your friend does some fine work too.

All stainless Dave, some of the neatest welding I ever saw!!Quote:

Hey Jack, no hibernation just been putting in some 85hr. weeks and finally got time to check in on your antics. I haven't been watching soccer [if I wanted to watch someone try to score for 90 mins. I'd take my friends to the local bar]. happy to see your still mucking about and enjoying the summer,at this point I'll be happy to see some snow again! I did get to take a friends new Nordic for a rip so he could see it from the beach and hear the tall block wind up! haven't even put my dock in yet or unwrapped my boats! the local outboard drags went last weekend just 10 mins from my place and my vking is still in the back of the yard wrapped up! sometimes life is all about paying the bills and not much enjoyment!
Keeps you on your toes Don, you didn't miss much apart from the surprise of the tournament so far which is the way the USA have played . For a country that doesn't have much of a liking for soccer the team played their hearts out. t this stage of the game, do not even mention that bloody white stuff.Quote:

Get your rear in gear Don, time to get the toys out!!!
Well folks it's crunch time for the USA soccer teaM.
Germany are one of the favourites to win the tournament . Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see the US stick it to the Germans. They have there tails up do the yanks and are playing with pride and passion, this could be the turning point in US soccer history. GOOD LUCK BOYS.
Ten minutes to kick off, switch on your TV and give your lads a cheer.
USA more than holding their own, got a very " lenient" referee, kraits have always been hard as nails and are really cute on shirt pulls and ankle tapping. USA not yet streetwise, could cost .'em dearly in the next half, Portugal are one up already , means Us have to score twice. Get stuck into the buggers boys.
Go USA Go...:cheers::cheers::cheers:
Well they did you proud, heroes to a man. In spite of a lenient ref. Now you have to learn the sneaky side of soccer. Schweinsteiger is a master of the art of deception and sneakology.
you need Beckham to get his stadium and teach you the finer arts, once you have that the game will snowball. USA has talent, but that on its own is not enough, you have to learn the darker side to progress on the world stage. They have to go to the Steiger school of acting and learn how to duck and dive and scream foul when they were never touched, it's all part of today's game and you're still babes in swathling bands.
Im glad your through to the next level, good luck. Bloody well done!!!

On our cruise to Norway
When we got back to our cabin each evening, this is the kind of thing the Balinese "State room" attendant did for us.
They're not called cabins any more (not posh). Just to get away from the beautiful game for a while.
Went to the car boot sale this morning, got some beautiful Admiralty coastal charts still in the printers tube for a tenner.
Had one of my mad fits and bought a single phase monster double ended grinder ( I need another grinder like I need a hole in my left elbow )
" Max the watch" took a couple of links out of the chronograph watch strap Sam bought me for Father's Day, spent a couple of hours haggling with a few of the stallholders.
Spent the day cleaning the grinder and recabling it.
Never did get around to producing anything worthwhile . Pays to have a lazy day sometimes.
So, not a lot I can tell you, time for the sandman, MYGGWY,J.
Another day , another dollar, need it to stay fine today, promised an old family friend I would sand down and oil her patio teak table-----it seats 16 and is in dire need of some TLC, has not been treated since God knows when. Will take a couple of pics and show you the " before and after" bit.
7am and the gifts are ticking, have to use them while I can.
I need to read the post before looking at pics. I thought they put a Kimodo Dragon in your bed.Quote:

Every race car driver, motor cyclist, football player and jockey has a chopper these days, ranging from Jetrangers , Eurocopters, Hueys, Gazelle, Sikorsky to Robinsons and Enstroms all makes in between, with prices ranging from $150,000 to five mill +.
They all gather at Goodwood the last weekend in June, we locals try not to leave the house, even the local watering hole is packed to the ceiling with "Hooray Henry's".
It finishes Sunday, but until then total chaos reigns, deigned to give it a miss this year.Will watch it on TV .

Did it for the widow of my old golfing friend Martin Wills, had many a long summers dinner round that table, accompanied by many bottles of wine, his favourite was Chateauneuf Du Pape which is the next village to where I used to live in Provence.
My village was Chateauneuf De Gadagne, there was no cartel in my village, the wine was less than half the price of Pape, and only an expert sommelier could tell the difference. But I'm rambling again, back to the table.
Made of teak and covered with a wine coloured glossy varnish many years ago which had seen better days. Took an 80 grit ceramic disc to clean all the crap off and finished it ready for oiling with 320. That way it didn't suck like a Parisian wh---
musn't talk like that, I'll get drummed out of the brownies. Anyway it went down real smooth and I only had time to stick one coat on as it was way past "drinky Poo" time. Close on 7pm and I was getting chronic withdrawal symptoms
Back home and in the saddle again tomorrow, sleep well, MYGGWY. J.
JW...This "Hooray Henry" has been waiting here since Wed for you to cough up for this "pint of"........See post #462!!!Quote:

Phil, I've slept since then. Nothing opens on a Wednesday -? So where you been staying?---Thursday is Peasants day, and Friday is the first day of Goodwood proper .
I'm in for the whole weekend---it's manic out on the streets---you're just gonna have to settle for a cold beer outa the fridge.
Mobile is 078 2626 7733, but I'm crap with a mobile. The damn thing always needs charging, or is on charge, or I left it somewhere, or I don't hear it, or it's gone to vibrate and I think my luck has changed. Take a chance, call me. I THINK THATS MY NUMBER, I did get a call from Sam on it for my birthday last January, it's pay as you go and £10 lasts me for a year.
Looks like the chairs are next.
As long as its got a 250cc i can race tune to 550 hp, frankly my dear Johnno i don't give a sh--------whoops--------DAMN ?Quote:

Gene. I have to tell you Jilly and Karin would get on great, the toilet seat effigy would have had her screaming for the captain.
Day two of Goodwood FOS and things are much the same as yesterday , choppers and light aircraft like Mosquitos round the village pond on a hot June day.
Red Arrows buzzed the house three times, but i haven't seen the Vulcan yet.
Back ached something rotten today, was all the bending I did yesterday for four hours, guess I never will learn my limitations, so I just suffer, with the occasional "oh dear", when I stand up.
Bet you never knew SUPERMAN suffered with arthritis , flatulance, dog breath and an aching body.
I know this for a fact-----ROBIN told me. Nighty night, MYGGWY. J.
Who bit your ASS. I was merely commenting on the fine job you did on the table, it looked like the chairs could use the same.Quote:

Of course you are absolutely right the matching chairs could do with some TLC but i don't have enough time left in my life to do ALL the right things, and seeing as ROMA is 70+ its not that i am trying to get into her panties, so the chairs will be put on the back burner.
Did you hear the story of the Ferrari at Goodwood, it goes like this--------In an orchard in downtown Cincinati lay an old 1953 Ferrari -----all in bits
and pieces, So having heard there is an auction every year held at the Goodwood FOS by BONHAMS, the said car was shipped over and auctioned off on Friday for -------£10,000,000---------$17,000,000, Like i told you before my colonial friends -----hang on to your heritage and your old classics they are priceless.
Was one of those days, last day of Goodwood FOS and a chance to see the red arrows fly. Past. Thought the best place to see them would be our bedroom balcony. Heard me coming , charged upstairs , camera at the ready, hooked my left foot round the bed leg and went arse over tip and landed heavily on my right shoulder and pulled all the tendons. I have finally realized I am not Peter Pan and not immortal -----IT BLOODY HURTS-----and I never did see the red arrows.
Cant do much in the shop in this state so have decided to have a day out in the Solent with Fish and my sister on the Sunseeker, long time since I went pleasure boating.
WILLABEE and I are still throwing frisbees at each other, but it's all in good fun and he does have an amazing memory and a good library of old foggies (piccies to colonials).
Really hope he makes it to OFF 2014, would be a hell of a blast, maybe Stickle can pick him up and bring him.
Cant believe any of you have not read his "Hot Singles" thread, but if you haven't ----give it a try. J.
Didn't get my fair share of shut eye last night due to an aching shoulder----tried to drive, that proved a real problem. Jill said I was like a bear with a boil up it's rectum (she's very polite)
Sunny and warm was the forecast, but I forgot about the wind factor.
arrived in Hamble and took the water taxi to the Sunseekerj, I was about as much use as a chocolate fire guard .
wind was. Sou wester blowing 15knots---did one trip downriver into the Solent but there was a very uncomfortable short chop ,2 foot seas, not a good day for a serene cruise to the island, so we called it off for another day.
That was yesterday.
if anyone missed the USA ---Belgium match, you missed the very best of the beautiful game.
Will comment on this later in the day. It's 6am and I have to do my community service today for speeding in a restricted area starting at 7.45 am so I have to get cracking-----report on the football and the punishment later.
Well I'm glad that's over, four hours of quite intense Q&A on accidents, speeding, fines and getting up to date with the Highway Code ------getting modern to road safety!
Had a couple of issues with the lady in charge, first was the fact she thought all drivers over 70 were habitual offenders and didn't or couldn't or weren't capable of learning anything. So I asked her what the hell was I doing there then? As I didn't have four hours spare to learn nothing!
She went on about Kenetic energy-----so I asked her what she meant, had to gently remind her about there being a re-action to an action etc. But I'm the dumb one who has not learned anything. Then she got into reaction times, was itching to demo the dropped pound note routine ( or dollar )
but it would have been me just being pedantic.
This is a Speed Awareness class as opposed to community service. It's done anyway.
Was the first genuine soccer match of the World Cup -----end to end----run till you drop " ROY OF THE ROVERS" stuff, great entertainment but not the way to WIN the World Cup.
This is the age of ducking and diving, theatricals, and sneakyology, raw talent and enthusiasm is not enough------it nearly was, but not quite.
You have to look at the beautiful swallow dive Robben executed to get the penalty after he was hardly touched in the Holland match, and if a player is tripped, at least four forward rolls with a face contorted in agony is the least that is called for before an oscar nomination is awarded.
Klinsman thought hard work and ability and national pride and a bit of luck would get them to the final, he forgot the SNEAKOLOGY.
Now the USA will have to dig into the murky depths of Managers with devious, doubtful, and dubious tendencies. You think I'm kidding--------honest to murgatroyd -------I'm not!
Over 100 people read this-----not one comment ?..?
