[Wack]

We need to get drunk together more often , we get on much better when we're pissed 

[iainrcz]

Just don't head 30 miles east, you'll end up in Grimsby and either be raped, stolen and sold for drugs or set on fire.

I've been for interviews in both towns. And in neither case was I successful.

One thing i am glad we did 

We were planning to get a taxi back as it's really windy , only on the way down the hill we saw a guy getting ready to spend the night covered in cardboard in a shop doorway so gave him the £5 instead and walked.

It must be really shit to be homeless ?

This is a great collection thread. All good threads start with a pint.

To be honest I've been here about 35 years and my mum and dad's got burgled once that's about as much that's ever happened.

I joke about it being a shit hole, but there are arseholes in every town. Keep away from the arseholes/nail shit down and you're alright.

20st and a 1/3 hill arent compatible 

Steep Hill is so badly named.  It needs to be Fucking Steep Hill.

There is an interesting shop in Lincoln, I seem to recall a very dusty window display of old and not so old aviation equipment and other assorted randomness.

Can't remember for the life of me where though.

 

Up a narrow pedestrian area hill bit, past some cafes and to the left I think.

It's the amateur radio shop.  I came across it just near (Fucking) Steep Hill last time I was there.  Spent ages thinking it would be good idea to buy an altimeter from an Avro Shackleton...

Bollocks, I knew I'd miss something!

I also forgot to give you your complimentary Autoshite stickers!

[Wack]

Do you want it back , I can post it 

[ruffgeezer]

If it isn't putting you to too much trouble, yes please. It's one of the few I've had that fits my massive bonce nicely!

[Wingz123]

It tends to be parky maintenance vehicles that are this colour.....what's the history with this van? 

[ruffgeezer]

It is Ex forrestry commission, the colour is forrest green.

It is a decent spec being the hdi engine, electric pack etc and the bash plate underneath. 

 

[Wack]

We tried to enjoy lincoln but it proved quite difficult so we gave up , proper lashed it down right to the pennines , wipers on full blast raining all the way

 

Dead impressed with the van Tim, it drives as good as that 12 month old doblo I mentioned

I'll post the hat back to the garage tomorrow

It is an excellent idea to buy an altimeter from an Avro Shackleton! GIB!

My Mum has an altimeter from a Fairey Swordfish. She uses it as a barometer. It was given to her by a friend who used to fly said aircraft in service.

Survived the hill of death and arrived at our hostelry for the evening , holiday inn ( express no less) £53 a night inc breakfast 

Called in at the oldest pub in lincoln which shut at 9pm , shocking 

Mrs wack utterly bolloxed

I did forget to mention , we missed breakfast , didn't wake up until 9:15 which is really unlike one of us ( I think we can guess which one) so I had to shower, dress then leg it to the 10am bus , no hangover at all though.

 

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Also, just about the bravest of them all if said friend flew the Swordfish in combat.
