    MOTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES .?
    looking through the report Johnno, didn’t look like much had changed. Still had problems with fuel guzzling——- emissions etc, Still talking big numbers.
    100 years on and no carmaker is PRESENTLY producing rotories———
    High hopes ? Just like it’s always been with that damn engine——— they should rename it

    Russkies are still popping off all their old spies that reside in England with poison nerve gas which unfortunately does not discriminate between British citizens and Russian spies. Putin is of course waving his arms about telling the world “Not me” ——— wonder who else would want to dispose of ex russkie spies——- with russkie nerve gas ?
    Anyone seen that beautiful Magnum 27 model boat on Facebook yesterday———- now, that guy is really talented——— wonder how much one of those works of art would cost ?
    Makes me feel like I should chuck all my stuff in the bin——- but like I said before——- can’t do models, and what I do is to keep the arthritis at bay and the little grey cells active!

    Onivar——- Another day, another dollar, as they say.

    Still havent cocked it up———— stand is an old aircraft window in titanium——— been under the bench for years————- just have to bend all the Fallopian tubes in the right direction and we have ———
    THE BIRTH OF THE BEAUTIFUL
    Should be able to give it one last coat of clear———— a final polish——— and I’ve nailed the bugger !

    I do have the second one waiting in the wings———- could be an ALEX AND ANI ——— or maybe put a screen and a radar arch and a wing and make it into a “ POKER RUN”. Fun boat, no idea what’ll be making exciting biting in the morning

    Sh-Tis about to hit the fan——— we threw out 26 Russkie diplomats——- which means Putin will chuck out 26 of ours———- but we boycotted the World Cup (soccer) which we never wanted to go to in the first place.
    So I suppose somebody somewhere will piss in a packet of corn flakes in some remote Tesco store in Truro and blame it on Putin————-still, let’s be fair, we haven’t had much drama since the Bay Of Pigs————-and the weathers turning much colder for the weekend———- sleet and snow———— jolly hockey sticks !!!!!

    Really is chucking it down——— God Decided to take a leak sometime during the night, must have been on the holy water, left a right mess around these parts. Screwed the car boot sale good and proper———— even an UMBERGAMP wouldn’t be much use today.
    Had to smile to myself——— Charlie Strang was one of the nicest chaps you could ever meet, funny how most of the top blokes worked for both camps——— OMC and MERCURY that is—— look down the list and it’s pretty impressive——— Strang, Leek, Hauenstien, Garbrecht, probably dozens more I don’t even know about.
    Pruett had it about right——— he spent most of his spare time with his friends in the OMC camp——— when I asked him “how come” he was pretty caustic, Garbrecht don’t pick my friends was his answer.
    I had some great times with the OMC tribe——— greatest shrimp bake I ever attended was OMC—— turned down the offer of a V8 drive, was way past it, had been retired too long——- wisest decision I ever made——— I’m still here !

    Sucker that I am——- rain held off for an hour so I wandered down the booty——— about a quarter full, stallholders not wanting to spend A tenner If was going to be a “no go”——— Saturday looks good to go. Going to be brass monkey cold, but, what thehell, if it’s not snowing or raining ———- who cares .

    Got stuck into the second “Concept” like a long dog——— once you’ve nailed one without problems, it’s amazing how brutal you can get with the second one ———— threw caution to the winds and cut straight to the chase. Result is, I managed to do in an afternoon what took me two days to achieve in the first one.
    With no interruptions tomorrow should be well on the way to the finish line. Just have to decide———-ALEX AND ANI ——- or a poker run one off with all the bells and whistles!
    If I get anything like a half decent concept, I’ll post a piccie end of the week.

    What do you know——- looks like the rest of the world agrees it’s not the done thing to go round poisoning your ex spies with nerve gas that doesn’t discriminate between Russians and English.
    Glad to see that Putin and the mad bastard with the flat top crew cut have come to realize that Donald Trump May be more “Unpredictable “than either of them———best not feck with somebody who you don’t know how to read eh?
    SO, the world didn’t come to an end when Trump was made President———— Or when Britain left the EU——— nor did we become bankrupt overnight———- just little things set to try us——— test the endeavour———- see what we are made of.
    As my sainted mother used to say, bullies are usually all chirrup and sh-te ( she was not eloquent but very wise)———-
    Putin for all his barrel thumping really does not know what Trump has at his disposal——— plus, he could be mad as a March hare, so best leave him alone—— don’t poke a sleeping bear.

    Sallied forth like a man on a mission this morning——— decided on an ALEX AND ANI all silver jobee——— with a bit of “ Artistes Licence” ———— somehow it just appealed to me, the fact they went to the unlimited show and pissed on their parade———— deserves a CONCEPT !
