Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

...the usual suspects...

25 BOTTLES OF DOM PERIGNON will do it every time——- told Sam she should have given the buggers PRUCETTO —- THEY WOULD NEVER KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!

summers here at last !!!!!

JW - did you see F1 in Baku yesterday? The last 30 minutes was the entire race. Pirelli will be burning their night lamps the entire week. Speaking of burning, Lewis Hamilton had the race on a silver platter until he torched his brakes for a 2 lap restart? Couldn't believe I was seeing this?

Somewhere in Chinkywoo province , lives an idiot with an IQ of 200+ —- but with less common sense than that of the average bed louse .
There is no other explanation for anyone creating the Lego disaster that i was sent as an apology for a gazebo !!!!!!
Wasted two days erecting a construction that should have taken two hours.
Yes, i did have the destructions in front of me the whole time —— they might just as well have been written in ancient Hebrew or Greek hyrogliphics for all the use they were .
There are one thousand ,seven hundred and forty seven ways to get the erection wrong——-but only one way to get it right .
My headmaster at Halifax Junior Technical School——— WILLIAM ROCHESTER HASWELL, [NUFFER]. Along with his Faithfull sidekick MR.SCHOFIELD [SCOFFERS]. Would have been proud of me for the intrepid way i carried myself yesterday.

I have to smile to myself W.Z.—- Hamiltons run of 54 point scoring races comes to an end ——- By default Vettel Comes second ——— he is suddenly a big hero ???????????? What’s all that about ?
seven times world F1 champion ——- 100 pole positions ——-98 wins———done more of everything than any other driver ever has ———-still they knock him.
No, i dont agree with all the BLM nonsense ——- I’m white ,proud of it and shout WLM —-so go buck a fuffalo. Doesn‘t mean that Hamilton is any less of a driver .
saw some idiot posting on facebook—-„“IM GLAD HE LOST“——- so are a lot of other folk. Five will get you ten the little sh-t will rech 100 wins this season.
another five will get you ten that vettel wont make the podium again EVER .

Those eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed a rather large flaw on the near side sponson of the RIVA TUNNEL . This was right there from the beginning , but it was such a handsome piece of mahogany that i decided to let it ride —- simply see what transpires . Which is what i did ,and why there is a flaw .
on reflection - maybe i should have just binned the chunk of wood !! But at that time , it was all i had , plus, it was the last piece of my sainted mothers WALNUT table —- that turned out to be mahogany!

Scream and fly has been having a funny five minutes for the last three days ——- tells me I’ve been suspended ??????—— can’t think of anything I’ve done thats particularly offensive !!!!!!!!! Anyone out there got any ideas why ????????

. Then of course, i have to put my reply in the wrong place—- did it before instead of after—- life can be a stone bitch without me really trying——- not to worry—im on it !!!!!!!

[jackiewilson]

As you can see from the above piccies—- i have not been sat on my rectum all day. I didn’t lay the slabs—- paid someone to do it this time . Firs time in my life i haven’t done it myself. Reason—- lifting twenty five pound slabs gives me feckin backache and makes me like WILLABEE ——-CRANKY !!!
erecting a bloody comic cuts leggo style Gazebo makes my arm ache !!!!!!
Still trying to fathom out , how the hell i fix the sunscreen without totally losing my sanity.
SUPERSHED still looks like a midding —— nowhere near tidy inside yet. Really should make a concentrated effort, get it exactly the way i want it ———one day.

Any chance you could get one of your young relatives to get your sculptures out and photo graph them all?

Not even my most enthusiastic grandchild would take that on Pilgrim——— I left about fifty concepts with my mate NIGEL when i Left BOUZIGUES ten years ago in 2011—-
I loaded my daughter SaMS place up in LOXWOOD with another thirty——-some six years ago ‘
I have a trunk full of boat concepts that i packed to send to my son in Florida——- he already has thirty or more and doesn’t really want them, postage alone is $200+ —— sooooo— we have this situation whereby there’s 20 concepts—— nobody wants—— all packed and ready to go —— but—- why the hell would i pay $200 to send a trunk full of concepts to anywhere ???????????
Sorry Pilgrim ——-thats what my sainted mother used to call —-A GOOD HIDING TO NOTHING!!!!!!

ROUGH count up yesterday—- around fifty pieces skulling the new shop [not counting those in the trunk]. Finally have the main workbench clear and tidy, all ready to start producing “SOMETHING”?
just have four more to go before I’m home and dry.
New lathe is all dusty—-i forgot to put the cover on it. Now here’s the rub. I didn’t put the cover on because i wanted to clean all the dross away first. Time goes on , it gets covered in dust. Back to the old chicken and egg situation .!!!!!!!!
temperature today forecast to top 80. Degrees—— tomorrow 0ver 85, i need to get the sunscreen over the gazebo fixed ——— its just draped over the framework at the minute —— even a gentle breeze and it’s flapping about all over the garden.
even with the doors and window open SUPERSHED was bloody hot inside ——- i played with the iPad —- discretion is getting to be one of my strongpoints ——- although i did fall out with a potential customer yesterday . Dickhead insisted he couldn’t make the shop until after noon———so i told him to leave it until after 2pm——- thats when the trouble started `!!!!!!!
OF COURSE THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT ——- UNTIL I DONT THINK HE IS .

[jackiewilson]

This is the Gazebo that never had a mother or a father !!!!!!!
it is temperaneously fixed —— i refuse to work out there under a desert sun, it provides shade—- thats all that’s necessary at this time . Bon-Continuation pour la weekend.

Had one of those lazy good for nothing Sunday’s—- took the lounger out of the shed and laid under the awning for an hour, felt good. Second hour began to fidget—- not good . Lunch , then settled down to watch England play Croatia in the European cup. For a wage bill of five million quid a week, i expected more . Tired after 90 minutes play ??????? For the sort of wages those guys are getting , even at 89 years old i could have done better .
I’m told the the only thing that matters is the result ——-err in whose opinion ???? Ok. So they won —- if thats the sale purpose of the game ,then thats me done. I would sooner watch my great grandson MAX play for Brighton Academy .
Must be getting old ——- right ONIVA —- had my day of rest— decided on the next project —- head down— arse up and tally -ho, as Percy used to say.

I thought the umpire gets paid the best, as he decides the outcome in soccer?
