Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

Oh dear, me and my mouth, never know with my mates whether they're pissed at me or gobsmacked or simply disagree -------as you can see, nobody posted a comment, good, bad, or indifferent. Maybe I should stay clear of world events and stick to the workshop.
Another beautiful morning, good to be alive, time for my shower, enjoy your day.

I prefer the hill climb myself too many posers at the revival
Got to meet Smokey Yunick and Junior Johnson, watched the tyrell 6 wheel run amongst tons of other stuff ( 917-30 Porsche, Mclaren M8F etc etc)

The whole deal make me sick. It was obvious that he shot her intentionally. She had recently told him that she wanted to break up. For him to get his gun, he had to slide across her side of the bed - obviously she was not there. Any bit of logic would imply that it was probably her in the bathroom. But no, he did not ask "honey, are you alright?" No, he just fire numerous shots through the door. Then you have all the drama that consumed the news around the world for what seemed like forever, when other more relevant news could have been reported. In the end he is guilty of negligent homicide. The legal experts say that he probably will never have to spend a day in jail. I have no doubt that his book and movie rights will bring him countless millions. Yes, this is a real life example of the perfect murder....

Would normally totally agree with you but South Africa craves respectability and a negative verdict would set the judicial system back light years--------they cannot afford anything less than a ten year custodial or the world will see, money comes first and justice a poor second.

We are a country of posers and the "Revival" is the perfect platform, even the colonials are joining in-------this is it's 18th year and bigger than ever.
You wax lyrical about the event and your happy with the company so stop being so bloody pedantic, just enjoy the sheer extravaganza ------there's nothing like it anywhere else in the world.

Spent most of the day revamping the "Thang"-----took the biggest piece of acacia I had and made a base for it, planed and varnished the whole base but left one side natural bark----just to be quirky, It's had six coats of beeswax and finally there's a bit of patina beginning to appear.
Swirled the tail fin ,just like we used to, up in OSHBERG in the 70/s.
Been a long day and the weekend fast approaches so farewell and sweet dreams, MYGGWY .J.

Defence lawyers are now pleading that darling oscar should not serve a custodial due to his cart spring runners. Didn't seem to affect him much when he topped Sheeva.
Defence claims it would cause undue hardship to " clap him in irons" and he should be given a suspended sentence, could it really be he is going to get away scot free.
I got some bad news for oscar-----you will never make old bones------somewhere, someone is wanting an eye for an eye.
Judge said it was all " CIRCUMSTANTIAL " evidence--------I suppose it was if you ignore the fact he pumped four rounds into the girl, shot her stone dead, was found to be sane and admitted the slaughter with one of his 55 guns-----it belays belief. That judge is walking the cinder path.

Goodwood is in full swing with record crowds, last day tomorrow, then the village gets back to some semblance of normality .
Spent the day making a six foot planter for the pool room patio, her indoors wanted it done for planting the tulips in.
Bought a six foot slatted oak bed head and tail board and twenty oak fronted kitchen unit doors, have enough left over to make a couple of oak planters for the front doorstep------ cost me £7 for the lot. Tired as a 1930 Model T so bugs bite MYGGWY . J.

Hi Jackie, sorry I've been lax in responses while stuck without a real puter. Do you remember who said " her eyes were like limpid pools of Castrol GTX "? Keep posting, we're still reading and enjoying.

Was probably my sainted mother-----I think she was responsible for "your eyes are like pools----football pools" She was on occasions a sarcastic bovine.
Jilly just said she thinks it was ----Bugs Bunny, or Popeye to Olive Oil,??
Sounds like a Latino with an English twist---me myself would opt for Caesar Romero!! Or Shakespeare at Bradford Alhambra .

Man U playing a full team today------let's see what 200 mill performs like?
Beautiful day----the Indian summer in full swing, let's enjoy.

Just back in from gardening duties. The correct answer is the late James Hunt. You got the English twist right on. Have a glorious day.

That boy had a main aim in life-----if it moves, SCREW IT.
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP was just an added bonus, why am I not surprised 'twas him that that uttered the " almost" immortal words "Castrol GTI pools"!!!
Man U four up and coasting, not before bloody time, fans ain't got much for the 4mill yet, time to piss or get off the pot.
The little Irish kid always comes good when it matters, he's not even playing well but manages the odd 65/67 now and again-----time to get your rear in gear Rory if you want the 10 mill.

Re phrase that 4mill, it was over 200 mill and rising------bloody money gone mad if you ask me!

It's another dark day for the civilised world, mad lunatics with a mdieval blood lust just beheaded another human being who's only crime was to aid the rest of humanity.
Cameron has joined Obama and said what nasty people they are, but they will both sit on the sidelines until the UN has met and decided what action to take, which will probably be not much and the lunatics will behead another reporter and give the two leaders another chance to spout more nonsense. (Where is there a Churchill or a Patton when we need one).
So much for being able to pinpoint a target anywhere and nuke it from the top floor of mission not QUITE JUST YET possible HQ situated in the middle of the Mojave desert. HOGWASH.

The Goodwood Revival is over for another year, grand finale was a fly past by one of the two last surviving Lancaster bombers. They were both scheduled to fly, but the Canadian Lancaster developed bellyache and was put to bed.

Man U. finally brought home £200,000.000 of bacon, I will only believe they've come back good if they don't lose another game all season.
Yorkshire won the cricket championship, it's where I was born, but I opted for a better life south of the Thames.
The Irish kid should be putting for around $10,000,000 right now, by my reckoning that's over half a mill. per hole------now, is it me being pedantic, or does that seem to be a tad obscenely over the top for knocking the snot off'n a little white ball.

Cleaned the shop from top to bottom, opened back and front doors then blasted everything with the airline, even the spiders came out coughing and spluttering .

Thats it for tonight, dreamland beckons, MYGGWY.J.

[jackiewilson]

Rory came up short but Only got a few mill. For finishing joint something or other, tough to just get a few hundred grand per hole instead of half a mill.
Poor old GREG Norman had a fall out with a chain saw, he lost the argument, as you do with a chain saw. Seem to remember he lived next to Barry Sheene on the Nenang River at Surfers. That was in the last century though, a lot of water has run under the bridge since then.
Our Indian summer looks set to continue for the next couple of weeks with temperatures set to remain way above normal, long may it remain so.

The ships on an even keel from here on in , I found out early on in my career that's the time for upsets so fingers crossed good fortune is smiling down on me today, the workshop beckons, just need to get the little grey cells in gear. LETS ROCK!!!
