Its always amusing waking up the morning after the clocks change and looking at your phone and trying to guess if it has adjusted automatically or not. Especially so waking up in Hull in the hotel after drinking far too many beers the night before with the likes of Trikey, Marina Brian, Shiner, Ricardo, Mr Doodles to name but a few, (forgot a good few more) etc. Looking around the room it was just staggering the depth of knowledge no longer on the OC. Duncan and Artic would not have looked out of place in that sort of company
We certainly got into the spirit and gave him a good send off people travelled from as far as Newcastle and Southampton (nice to see you again Dave). Even Actros made an appearance
Nice you still remember Debz Steve, been a few years since she has passed Trikey well never forget her, that was obvious last night. Debz would no doubt be happy to see Andy has found love again with Rachael who believe it or not was friends with Debz at school, she is also going to Mexico with him along with Meg (Andy & Debz dog)
Funny old world.
Welcome to all who have managed to migrate ;)

Dave....

Hi Dave.
Wow some illustrious names there including your self Dave, sound like everyone a a great time, also wishing Andy & Rachael/meg well on their new adventure, big decision to make in later life, but trikey as always been a go getter from what I've known of him and heard of, i bet the food will be good also lots of tacos.

Yes i had to set the clock in the FL2 today after noticing it had not doen it automatically and two old analogue clocks we have in the bedrooms why we keep them i don't know topped up both the FL2 and Van today also, and got 5lts petrol for our generator.

Petrol was £9.06p for the 5.89l £1.51 of that was Vat.

Diesel was £45.84p for 24.66l £7.64p of that was Vat.

The government are ripping us off have no doubt about that.

Wonder how much it will have gone up by the end of the week, my bet is another 10p wonder do Mexico have there own oil and how much is it over there.

I have not had a pint in what......Almost 70 years.

Oh I tell a lie, I remember when I was a nipper my dad took me to a party. Someone handed me his glass and said "try a drop of this Stevie boy". Incy wincy teeny weeny sip and my bloody mouth was on fire until the next day.
If at first you don't succeed, hide the evidence.

Sunny day here and about to have a mug of coffee after retrieving the bin post today's collection. Nice to hear that a good time was had by all in Hull, Dave. I was an online attendee at Deb's funeral and remember her well, also Meg who will be sharing the new adventure with Andy and Rachael. I also remember his other rust coloured four-legged friend who sadly is no longer with us and whose name escapes me atm.

I managed to adjust all of my clocks that needed doing in good time and left just one to adjust itself via what used to be called the Rugby time signal. There was only one concern and that was with my wristwatch which has a date function. I did not know until recently that damage can be caused if adjustment is done at the wrong time - namely between ~ 9pm and ~ 3am. That is when the gears which change the date are in operation and damage can be caused by any intervention. Some watches are safe by design from the problem but as I'm not sure about mine I left it for the next day until a safe time presented.

Yes, we live in interesting times re the cost of things like fuel and booze. I can't see fuel uncertainty changing for the better until a certain character is forced to come to terms with what constitutes a regime change. :gmc:
