Here we go again

[NorthernMonkey]

FFS. Will I never learn?

Wetherspoons, Friday night, steak consumed along with several pitchers of Long Island iced tea is NOT the time to check the ‘for sale’ thread on your handheld communications device for new posts, kids.

Alarm duly set for 05.00.....

[yes oui si]

A thread on here, or on a darker corner of the internet?

2500ish, give or take a hundred or so.

In other news, it’s fecking early.

[New POD]

Amended.

Anyway, it’s all systems go. 
 

Dogs are confused...the two lads are wondering what’s afoot but the older girlie has decided whatever it is, it’s overrated and she’s gone back to bed...

The first stage of today’s journey is the ex- @paulplom Meriva which, incidentally, is providing sterling service as my garage courtesy car.

Looks sparkly. Have you washed it?

My guess/dream  S70 2.3 T-5 btw.

[320touring]

I reckon it's an MG

It is north of the border...

[NorthernMonkey]

Bearing in mind it’ll be approaching 15.00 before we actually get to the subject of today’s fleet expansion and then there’s a six+ hour drive back home, this one is a two person mission.

Besides, it’s for her anyway so it seemed only fair.

Currently awaiting the 07.03 to Blackpool

[yes oui si]

Blackpool? You poor bastards

[NorthernMonkey]

It gets worse.

Now wedged into a stuffy Virgin cattle class carriage on our way to Edinburgh...someone with several small noisy children has just sat across the aisle and started feeding them egg sandwiches.

Mrs NM looks full of joy at the excitement of her new steed being collected ! 

[NorthernMonkey]

She’s actually in a remarkably good mood about the whole thing considering we both had around four hours sleep if that... ?

[NorthernMonkey]

Currently awaiting the next train at Edinburgh heading further north.

Its just gone from showing a 33 minute delay to simply ‘delayed’ on the board.

Nice one, LNER ?

[NorthernMonkey]

And we’re moving again. 
 

Flooding is a bit bad up here...

 

[TataBobu]

Please don't let it be a Freelander!

[NorthernMonkey]

Hahaha.

Hahahahaha.

No.

[Supernaut]

6 hour drive home, eh?

Shall I head to the station to meet you?
