cheeky feckers the lot of you...
AS for the gash (that is NOT a euphemism) on my head, .... that happened on my last day at work when a wooden beam fell on my head... my own fault for not ducking fast enough when I tightned up the box section it had been keeping wedged apart.

You should have said it was from fighting off a crazed, knife wielding lorry driver who thought you were an immigrant Rog

26 YEARS in IT followed by 2 years restoring vintage fairground rides - ergo, lots of banging, grinding, painting and woodwork. Early retirement will be a godsend! I particularly like like the latter job, having been involved with the Save Dreamland campaign for over a decade. It's always been a bit of an "if I won the lottery" fantasy of mine to own a Maxwell Waltzer ride and have it permanently set up in the back garden of my mansion.

We've spent quite a lot of time down at Dreamland... we restored the Gallopers,Jets,double-decker kids, Orton and Spooner Speedway and more recently the Brooklands Electric racing track - I don tthink the brooklands is up and running yet though as the new wheels/tyres that were supplied by one of our competitors (doh) were NOT up to the job... ergo they keep coming off so we're having to have a new mould cast from the original wheels and then have rubbber new ribber ones pressed on. It''s costing a fortune and make us look bad eveon though rundles specced the ones we tried using.
Even though I'm now on gardening leave, pending redunandcany at the end of Sept, I did enjoy that job. - shame there wasn't enough profit in it for the boss to keep it going... actually there probably was but he spent it all up front so we've been playing catchup ever since lol
