Who fancies a run out some time?

[RoadworkUK]

it never fails to distract me from the job in hand.

 

Multitasking!

[nigel bickle]

Why not? its a schlep -but what are cars for?

 

I'm sure I can find something ''appropriate''

FACT DU JOUR: The resident DJ in the (now closed) Pub a couple of 100 yards prior to that cafe was called Trigger (You never had a perm did you AS Trigger?).

 

I'd say that is half hour from junction 28 of the M25 (A12) shitters. If your making a day of it, the Museum of Power is 15 minutes away too.

Eh? What is this fantastical establishment you speak of? I'm local like and I ain't never heard of no Museum Of Power.

 

Jais avez un grand intriguement.

Drove past it yesterday! Not been in, er in a while, all sorts of tat!

[Electric Leyland]

I'm well up for a bit of this, either an evening once the clocks have changed, or a weekend do.

 

You can even pick your own Full English Breakfast, 75p per ingredient.

 

Lets see:

 

Bacon x 2

Egg x 2

Sausage x2 (cos they don't look that big in the photo)

Black Pudding x 2

Beans

Toast (you get 2 rounds)

 

10 x 75p = £7.50.

 

Not too bad a price that (depending on where you're comparing it to of course). I hope tea is chucked in free with that.

The miniature railway opens on the 9th April, plan?

 

It has what looks to be the worst model village on Earth, which is a bonus

[Futuramic]

Yah, why not.

[R19dude]

Flippin' marvellous! Actually, I could swear that some of those buildings arethe ones I knocked up at primary school using weetabix boxes and poster paints, how the hell did the Museum Of Power get their hands on them?!

[Mr Lobster]

Yeh, I might well be up for that. Something old is bound to need a run out. Long way like, but I like a challenge.

[Torsten2001]

take your Nan

[Angrydicky]

I will say, provisionally, that I will be up for this as it's pretty local, but I'll have to know times/dates before I say yes.

 

All my shite is very slow, so I don't much fancy the sound of that busy sliproad

[Shep Shepherd]

Sounds good. The Volvo is an A12 veteran, having been used to drive from Southend to Ipswich a fair few times in my ownership

Theres at least a couple of couples who write into the local rag on a regular basis complaining about that road.

Who is this Trigger impersonator you speak off?, Everyone wants to be me, and for the record, I've never had a perm.

[chaseracer]

Can't be. No Christmas jumper...

[boobydoo]

Might I suggest 'Drive It Day' for this outing which is Sunday April 17th, the weekend before Easter. The weather should be not too bad and there might be a few other 'old' things on the road.

 

I'll be quite happy sitting at a folding formica table in the car park noshing on a 'shite' packed lunch:

 

Limp fish paste sandwich

Value plain crisps

Club biscuit

Flask of piss-weak coffee.

 

Yum!

[trigger]

was this not you after all then?

 

Mega Roffles! God how embarrassing! That was at my MIL's 50th last year!

 

I've just noticed that i look like my mum in that photo, but with less facial hair.

 

If it is the 17th April (my birthday) i won't be able to go as I'm in London that weekend.

[hairnet]

That's 230 miles one way for me chaps. Perhaps not.

 

2.5 hours on the bike

 

possibly (in a car are you mad )
