Dont get SARKY Pilgrim—- it’s going to get rough before it gets smooth, that’s for sure.
But after three years of no exit and stalemates we finally got permission from parliament to leave.
Headway is being made—— but the Brits have elephant memories and the firing squad attitude of the EU will not be forgotten!
Wont be a “ Pat on the head and a biscuit exit” —— if it’s a HARD Brexit——- wonder who exactly it will be hard on?
Trump is telling Boris the Chinkies can not be allowed to install the G*5 network in Britain ——- Unfortunately they are two of a kind—— neither of them listen to anyone else !
Both are on tippy toes over Iran—— which could bite us all in the arse !
Ah, well, as Scarlet so famously said as she wiped her brow—— Tomorrow is another day!!!Last edited by jackiewilson; 01-24-2020 at 07:55 AM. Reason: Spelling

Now here’s one for all you “purists”. Parker Nine Hour —- 68/9 —- anyone out there know who that is?
Two sisters used to do the drag boat races—— Mona and Kathy Henderson !!!!
Maybe Karen May remembers them, Timekeepers at Havasu, along with Molly Ballou and Husband Kenny.
Sorry about the phoggie quality ——- it was a POLOROID taken over fifty years ago !!!

Gene—— have to tell you, you’re ten days out! My birthday is the 30th January!
We are allowed tiny slips like that when we reach four score years and eight, thanks for the birthday wishes —— you are the first!
You got that damn MALIBUSTANG up and running yet—- you don’t need to leave it much longer before the CIA start investigating—— sound mind all that malarkey?

Ok, let me explain, picture I posted yesterday was taken in Nashville around 1968/9 Driver was Jack Stuteville—- owner was Doc ????
Ronald Reagan’s son was on the scene making a real asse of himself—— Event was organised by the NBDA which got eaten up And spit out by the APBA and was never the same after that.
They raced Lake Elsinore and Lake Perris—— then moved to long beach Marine Stadium—- Mona Lake and Kathy Fromm were the timekeepers at that time.
Most of the pictures were taken by Polaroid camera—— not exactly LIECA quality in the first place—- seeing as how they were developed under your armpit !!!
Maybe FUJI or Peters can do a touch of magic on them so they’re a bit more legible???

Ben told it was the NDBA NATIONAL DRAG BOAT RACING ASSOCIATION—- sorry.
Really great bunch of racers doing there own thing for years and years—— lots of time and hard work put in by lots of true boat racing enthusiasts.
APBA does a mandatory takeover and screws the whole scene !
Same thing happened over here with powerboating—- RYA stuck it’s nose in —— interfered with what a relatively easy to run powerboat world, managed to screw it up without really trying.
UIM was just as bad—— if not worse—— managed to alienate the powerboating WORLD including the APBA, —— strange thing is, powerboating managed to survive IN SPITE OF being affiliated to the UIM.
Throughout history there’s been the dictators and little Hitlers that have been in charge at the top level, telling the world how to run a sport the know feck all about but pretending they do!.
UIM has been run by idiots for decades—— a few good men stopped them killing off the sport completely .

Now That Scarlet is guaranteed to get the numbers ticking over Fuji—— I gather you weren’t able to prove the quality of the piccy I posted from Nashville in the late sixties?
Apparently there are plenty more— but very low quality.
Teeth, Legs and cleavage—- This Scarlet has ONE of the three things needed —- You should know better than that Fuji.

With a bit of luck and a tailwind I should get the last Rolls Royce finalised—— started just before Christmas so it’s just about five weeks again.
This is the best one ever without a doubt —— but it had to be as it’s a commission jobbie—- I will post a piccie later in the day.

No, I won’t be posting piccies today—- Mitigating circumstances—— poshed it all up ready for the phoggie session and realised I hadn’t done the “ Silver Ghost” badge above the bonnet, cut out the piece of brass plate and engraved it—— fixed it all on, stood back and checked the original photo with the actual concept—— bollocks and craperootles, the headlamps are not right——- spun up a couple of fresh ones that are to die for——— SPLENDIFFEROUS— job done.
Slight problem, that’s the end of play for today—- guests for my birthday lunch !M! Well, nobody’s going to come on a Thursday are they ?
Maybe tomorrow!!!
