The Marvelous Marty Visit

[Ian Warren]

Super Thanks Marty , today was a double whammy, boys and girls, Marty stopped in here this morning with a personally signed book - a Great Chin Wag and a break from the long weekend .. mine appears to be longer than the rest, the book COOL !

Directly in my alley , love to the Jag doing its stuff but a little late and gone now .. but there is still hope for Ashburton Aviation Museum .

, Here is the double whammy, the lawn mower Marty gifted to me over a year ago has now become a star attraction, mentioned in a previous post how one Chinese tourist was watching me and asking .. today One Chinese tourist chap asked if he could give it a try, think I might start selling tickets
I can see the regulars, Well Greg will be in for a borrow let read it , Rick will have to keep it at home , don't want to loose it , Mark .. maybe to many word s , Hanna she will have to wait .. I need my 'Planes' DVD back

Matey a bloody great morning/afternoon, 'Hazza' stopped here this afternoon , had another great chin wag .. he's mucking around with paint kits and simply need a little help in this area , I must dig up some files for him as well , research data .. markings and sorts.

It just shows that New Zealand are just two tiny little islands, where folks pop in to see each other for a chat, tea, and buttered crumpets!

Wonderful stuff!..... ....!

It doesn't happen over here!

Paul.... ...!

Paul .... New Zealand is bigger than the UK , good example was when Greg stopped in the then PC shop , simply ask if there was any flight sim nutters in the neighbourhood .. my place was targeted .. not sure why .... you don't have to live in the NZ ... Adrian Petford , Ade to us come all the way from the UK over here to meet a bunch off us all up and down the country ... that will serve him right

Buttered crumpets make your beer go flat

My days of trying to "butter-up" a piece of "Crumpet", have long since passed now!

My "magic technique" no longer works... ...!

Life is much more peaceful now, and less stressful....... ..!

Paul.... ... ...!

The gorgeous Check-out girls at Sainsbury's fall under the category of delicious; "Crumpet"....

...I chat them up/butter them up every day...

...(with no success))..... ...!

Picking up "Crumpet" on my BSA Café Racer pillion seat no longer works like it did in the 1950's...

Paul.... ...!

[Ian Warren]

Lawn Mowers:

My Forum Signature contains a reference to my one...>>>

" .....A few tasty Motor-bikes....and a Briggs and Stratton Petrol Lawn-Mower"

Waiting fo Spring to arrive, to mow my garden lawn....
...and probably needing fresh petrol after a Winter lay-up.

I gave up "Push Mowers" years ago, fearing a heart attack from pushing them round the garden!

Paul....Single-cylinder, side valve, four stroke....with sharp blades!.... ...!

This is were it all comes back to Marty , thanks to him I managed to get one "Push Mower" and a goodie .. his dads, with me its going the other way .. tests the other week show thing are getting better and better because just getting out there and doing it .. shitt only couple years back I could run circles around most half my age, away from that a simple community gifted lawn mower not only attracts attention ... 'Good I have signage on my house front' but also entertains international tourists ... NOW who's a clever BUGGER!

[Fozzer]

I wish "International Tourists" would come and mow my lawn for me, whilst I sip on a glass of Napa Valley Red, read the Financial Times, sitting on my garden deck-chair, under a sun shade...

Its when "Foreigner's" come in handy... ....

I have a couple of cracker jokes ... couple girls walk past ... I simply said to them "Some Bastard stole me bloody engine" ... works on others as well , other one that had people scratching their heads and others said "Really" some people - most laughing their heads off , "I'm bringing in my crop, Its my weed man "
