Yup ...... got plenty of that lovely Doom Bar ale sorted, plus some Cockburns Port.
Gonna stay away from that contaminated cheese that the Captain gave me at Newent. That's what I reckon that fuddled my head. Daz warned me about the Captain's antics, and I chose to ignore his Stokie wisdom. Ya lives and learns I suppose! :-[

Ah do you want me to pick up some of the Polish fireworks for this year my brother in law can bring them over, and a bit of the honey vodka as well.
I will see about a supply of kielbasa nothing like a fire cooked sausage :y
-
Put us down Byron, as long as they are bangless fireworks cos I don't want to upset the dogs like last year! :y Can I be a bit further up the site this year though please!! It got a bit smelly where I was last year and I don't think it was the "crocs" pink or otherwise!!! ;D ;D

Wasn't that due to Jimbob's "posterior" .. and certain biological contaminants emanating from it ??

Don't bring too much Paul. 8)
The venue's sandwiched-in between a 24-hour petrol station and the local gas works ..... wouldn't want us to hit the headlines if things got out of hand for the wrong reasons.
You get my drift? :o
Are you OK with your tent being next to dad1uk's trailer tent mate? ;)
-

I think that spritely Crown Green bowler Auto Addict sorts the Xmas event Matt - might be worth a PM?
Can I stick ya down for this shindig though?
Your decontamination unit medical skills might be a wise precautionary measure ..... given the venue's location :o

I'll have to speak to the long-haired general about this one as it is quite close to something else. If we do it'll have to be en-suite accomodation. I dont mind roughing it but the missus wont settle for anything other than hard-standing accomodation ;D

Can anyone confirm? :-\

Would not miss it for the world Byron :y I will sort some fireworks out which hopefully will be better than those crazy things I got last year :-X
For those that didn't go, some fell off the back of a lorry that I was fortunate to find ;D but the bloody things were exploding a little low.... plus fell over as I ran away.... a few had to play leapfrog ;D ;D Captain Ok had about Five roll ups one after another ;D ;D
A do definitely worth not missing :y

Yes we are going to come down for this one, but even though I bought a mega warm sleeping bag for last year Mrs. Loo-knee is not uo for camping. So if there is anyway you can put us up or find a local Inn or something I would appreciate it. :y

Here (as in Reply no 26):

You get my drift?
Plomien's brother-in-law is gonna be our fireworks man.
Apparently, he knows a thing or two about explosives too, so things should go off with .... well .... a bang!
Nearly forgot, an added bonus:
The petrol station flogs LPG at 25p per litre .... according to the vandalised sign. :o
Are you OK siting your 'van next to Lazydockerfueller's tent Andy? ;)

Also need a 'chef' .... can't see Mr Dent coming .... so .... ? :-\
-
I'll look at starting a 'Confirmed' list in a day or two. ;)
But we still urgently need a BBQ man (or woman). Any suggestions, anyone? ::)
-
Two people come to mind if the regular OOF Chef Mr Dent is otherwise engaged.
The first would be a duo of chefs, one male Chef Wood and one female Cheffess Seth.
They do cook a good burger and sausage between them ;D ;D
(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg200/dad1uk/DSC00066.jpg)
but it could lead to fighting because of two chefs in the same kitchen. :o :o
Otherwise it may be just Chef Wood on his own ??? :y
(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg200/dad1uk/DSC00067.jpg)
Perhaps a poll to decide? :-\

Notice that Wood fella always hangs around with his hands in his pocket, even when he has a job to do ;D

And they're 'deep' pockets too .... :o
I'm reckoning that they can accommodate a few bottles of my Newcastle Brown Ale stash .... which seemed to disappear at a rather alarming rate at the 2011 Welland Steam Rally.
Come to think of it .... I/we ain't seen sight of the blighter since .... hmmm :-\

Pity about your brother-in-law's non-availability, 'cos he's a dab hand in the explosives/pyrotechnic field (so to speak). :-X
Still, I've every confidence in your abilities ..... just don't mix too much Semtex into the Catherine Wheels ..... we really don't need things going off with 'that' much of a bang ..... know what I mean? :-[
Stuck you down for a family room - you'll be next door to Mr Cool, OK? ;)

seeing as it's my birthday on the 8th..... and i could really use a laugh after the ballache of moving house ...... (successfully completed, and moved, but jeeeezus the amount of work involved is unpleasant) someone clue me in to where ....
i got a mate from south wales with a blasting licence and stuff what goes bang,.... :D
-
Can you book SWMBO and I a pitch with awning space as well?
We can then use the awning to eat if weather not kind :)
-
I have a connection for Sparklers. They are not for children or the feint hearted, they are the Industrial version ;D
He assures me they are perfectly safe when used at arms length! :y
He also has some rockets..... not too sure about these :-\
He says these are Army Surplus but only just outside of their NATO 'use by'date :o
The guy is in West Brom so very close to J1 of the M5 so easy to get down to the Bash :y
Let me know B if you require anything :y
-

Have stuck you down for an 'all weather' pitch, mate - it's a bit close-ish to the gas storage tanks, though you should be quite safe there.
The gas people are currently removing one of the tanks, and have their mobile crane on the adjacent pitch. I've spoken with the inebriated character driving the crane, and he tells me drew a picture indicating that all work should be completed by the end of the month. Anyway, most of our caravans/tents should be sited out of the swing area of the crane.
The only 'problem' that he's had thus far, was when (somehow) a pallet of scaffold pipes got dropped through made contact with the petrol station canopy on the other side of our site. It seems that a petrol tanker was underneath said canopy discharging it's load at the time, and that prevented the complete collapse of the structure.
The crane driver's amazing skills therefore avoided a major disaster - no doubt about it in my mind!
I'd have no qualms about pitching our caravan on the 'all-weather' pitches, my friend. :y
-
Sounds great.
Do we have mains hook up as I could then bring the jet space heater as well?
Will make sure that its not too close to anything flammable.
otherwise sounds a great pitch.... many thanks
-

Of course my friend .... though you'll probably need an extra EHU lead to reach the bail hostel shore plug. Glad you mentioned that, 'cos I clean forgot about the dodgy electricity supply, which is free of charge .... apparently. ;)
And that crane driver is absolutely top notch, I can assure you.
He managed to perfectly lift a pallet loaded with flaggons of White Lightning over 150 feet up the gas storage tank for the demo lads this morning, without a hitch. They don't drink tea .... :o

Is this the geezer who Daz got them so-called fireworks from last year Si? :-\
Maybe best to leave those 'industrial' sparklers alone then, though the rockets should be fine I suppose.
Can you find out how much they'll cost, or have we gotta take a job lot?
You negotiate with him and report back, OK. ;)
-
I was chatting down t' pub and this subject came up ... really nice middle eastern guy called Sam offered me 7 rockets ?? 'Twas a tad difficult understanding him .. rather a strong accent ... but I think he was even happy to pay for me to go somewhere warm to collect them. Do you think I should take his offer ???
-
This Sam 'sort' down your boozer ....
Don't suppose he 'appened to mention if said rockets were equipped with .... er .... launchers .... per chance .... did he? :o

The local tree surgeon's just delivered a pile of trees ready to build our bonfire. ;)
Also recently-arrived are a skip-load of tyres, and I've cleaned-up the mess salvaged all the combustible Toyota Landcruiser interiors that appeared the morning after the previous 'occupants' disappeared without trace vacated the site. Still gotta shift a few washing machines/fridges etc before our crane-driver clown friend can erect the bonfire for us. :o
The Nissen Huts accomodation seems to be very welcoming, and will add a confirmed list ASAP.
Caravans/Trailer tents have their own pleasant area alongside the gas works fence. ???
The lad from the petrol station next door tells me that as a special offer to OOF members, he'll flog LPG at 25p per litre on the night. Payment must be by cash only for some reason. ::)
As you can imagine see, everything's under control! :y

dorry that i xant make it but enjoy yourselves everybody

With only a few days to go now, I reckon that it's time for an update:
The very co-operative crane-driving Mick has just about finished lifting the trees into position for us. All the tyres are piled-up into the base, though it seems that the skip which contained 'em has somehow entered the metal recycling process disappeared overnight without trace, along with the pallet-load of scaffolding pipes which were strewn across the 'hotel' car park .... after the crane jib unfortunately struck the gable end of one of the made slight contact with the roof/end wall of one of the 4-poster suites. Mick's a jack of all trades (it seems), and has carried-out a most effective repair by tying a tarpaulin over the said damage. He informs me that the affected suite now boasts air-conditioning at no extra cost to our sponsor .... fair play to the man .... I suppose :o
Anyway, the fun starts at 6pm; and we're free to arrive on site from mid-day onwards.
A full English breakfast (not sponsored by Auto Addict) will be available the following morning for a fiver each, and we all need to leave by 11am.
BBQ:
Mrs Seth (assisted by Mrs dad1uk .... apparently)
Usual fayre - including prime Wiltshire pork bangers (courtesy of Mr Entwood); 100% British-ish quarter-pounders (courtesy of ....); and marrow pickle (courtesy of Taxi Driver) etc etc.

explode get hot enough to make a spectacular finale but will not say on here due to legal safety implications. ;) My previous injuries experience of this shows that it has the added advantage of extinguishing the inner eight feet of the main bonfire, making it much safer to leave unattended while you sleep. ::) ::) You do tend to end up with a lot of smaller fires scattered around but on these cold nights that must surely be a bonus as everyone benefits from the warmth. ::)
I've only done it on the allotment farmland to date but I'm sure that I am experienced enough to not cause any safety issues. ::)
Won't be long now, looking forward to seeing you again. :y We won't be able to stay over due to work commitments. ;) ;)
Safety & Liability Disclaimer: Don't try this at home kids. In fact don't try it at all. It is very very dangerous and is only to be carried out by experienced chucker-on-ers. :y I can not emphasise that enough, you play with fire, you get burnt. :(
-
Do all men get long poking sticks for the bonfire and welding gloves so that we can get our primeval fire poking urges out.
I also have some nicely spiced up pickled onions with some home grown chilli's for spice.
(I wouldn't not advise standing with your back to the fire afterwards unless you want your own fireworks)

Bring 'em with you Matt, but keep 'em away from TheBoy .... I need your solemn word on this, OK. ;)
Ooerr, that reminds me .... gotta speak with Mr Lazydocker about stocking-up with air fresheners, else their caravan'll need fumigating the following morning .... :-[

Save some pig for me, Pikey Pensioner!

Btw did you get the risk assessment done for the liability insurance and medical stuff sorted, I know I have a first aid kit in the car but there is only so much I can do

So that's how you're funding the accommodation .... ya shrewd Brummie beggar! ;D
Assuming these baps have Mrs AA's home-made apple stuffing included .... then no wonder they're so damn popular.
Hang on a minute .... what about 'our' little piggy that yer promised for Monday, Baz? .... what's to stop 'em Wulfrunian buddies of yours making off a bit sharpish with said porker .... know what I mean? :o

Errr .... I knew that I'd .... kinda 'forgotten' summat :-[
Though on reflection, the hapless yoof petrol station 'manager' next door didn't seem the slightest bit bothered about our antics .... so long as we bung 'im a burger and a can of Stella :o
And the gas works people .... well, Mick our Ukranian crane-driving mucker and his demolition buddies told me that they'd got 'em 'sorted' .... and I do know that they all previously worked together at Chernobyl, so they've a wealth of experience in these disastrous situations matters. :o
Shouldn't be any worries from the bail hostel resettlement centre at the far end of the site either, as all the inmates occupants are away in Kenya at the tax-payers expense on some kind of rehab programme safari. A couple of their lads kindly wired-up the freebie EHUs for the touring pitches this morning, in exchange for some bolt-croppers and a jemmie that I was going to chuck in the scrap bin. Fair play to 'em, they're doin' their bit for the recycling movement! ???
I'll have a word with Mick tomorrow .... just to be sure! ;)
First Aid & Medical stuff: Guffer's our man here.
I'm sure that he'll be bringing his decontamination unit paramedic equipment .... so we'll be in very capable hands .... should anything unforeseen occur. :-\

Some last-minute news etc:
Mrs Seth, bless her, spent the best part of yesterday evening sewing-together a Guy Fawkes .... ish effigy for placing atop the bonfire. Really tested her needlework skills (and patience) to the limit, but the end result was well worth the effort .... as you'll all witness tomorrow! ::)
Been over to the site this morning to have a word with Mikhail, our safety-concious Ukranian crane driver to see if he could lift/position the Guy onto the bonfire. Fair play to the bloke, he rapidly rounded-up Dmitri his Vodka-swigging assistant, and in no time at all, they had Guy Fawkes securely perched in place. We then went around to the Bomb & Dagger for a little session drinky-winky, where the lads introduced me their colleagues Boris and Sergei. Became totally slaughtered absorbed by their tales of when they were involved worked at Chernobyl. By coincidence .... apparently .... they all worked together on the bridge of the Amoco Cadiz too .... ???
One last thing I've got to do is to speak with that Entwood chap about his valued contribution .... been 'unobtainable' over the past few days .... for some reason .... :(
Things should really be going with a bang this time tomorrow evening!(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43954633/rofl.gif)

Sorry about that .. been away in the "tin tent" enjoying ourselves .. :) only to come back to a very cold house with a central heating problem .... now partially sorted after a chat with my plumber friend ... we have a very good system .. I'm his "helpline" for computer problems .. he's mine for plumbing !!! He is coming round Tuesday to fix it properly we hope.... waiting for a text to confirm what time he intends to get here ..... which might influence our presence at the OOF bash ....... :(

Jees .... that ain't good news at all Nige. Hope that ya can get it sorted matey. ;)
What about those 'rockets' though? .... remember .... the ones from that Sam sort down your boozer needed bringing into the country offered to supply us with? Any news .... ???
And if you can't attend tomorrow, do you want me to come up and fetch that truck load those Moonraker Extra Tasty sausages that you intended supplying donating? :-\
-
Apparently the 7 rockets that SAM was going to provide have become something of a holy GRAIL in other parts of the world and so may not be as available as he hoped, he does have a sister called STRELA who may be able to help, but she appears to be a fan of hot (heavy ??) metal and may be somewhat unpredictable.
As to the sausages .... I think a tad too much chili powder has been added ... they are certainly a bit of a STINGER .... :)

OK; OK; OK .... I get the picture Nige .... we'll stick with the West Brom lads' efforts and Plomiens' 'Swansea Sidewinders' .... whatever 'they' are .... or do .... :o
Terrific 'visual effects' with 'em spposedly, as they're the 'surface to air' variety .... whatever that is .... :D
And those Moonraker sausages .... did Taxi Driver have any part in their making .... per chance? ???
Probably best to get the missus to visit Asda in the morning me thinks! :y

Byron, I'm sorry but I to am having trouble with the fireworks.
I went to a free display :o
(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg200/dad1uk/rocket.jpg)
Rather worrying but Mohammed assured it was down to operator error so all may still be well :y
There is a slight concern about their stability but he assured me they had sorted it
(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg200/dad1uk/imagesCA193PHG.jpg)
He has also offered me an assortment of other rockets at a very good price - what do you think?
(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg200/dad1uk/images.jpg)
and also as a finale to the event he reckons you wont do better than this!
(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg200/dad1uk/imagesCA3YBNYC.jpg)
Please advise so I can collect before leaving.
I reckon I will get them into the trailer tent so no one will realise what I am carrying :y :y
I hope to arrive just after lunch. The finale rocket will be delivered but can only move around after dark!

I saw this on the site and was concerned about toilet facilities ::)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qt95KUOX_8
Has this problem been concidered or have we to go to the garage and use their loo?
-
OK Si; as Auto Addict's footing the bill, it'll probably be alright to go ahead and get a load - mind you, that's some pretty heavy gear there. Didn't know that these could bought on the
black open market.
You sure that this Mo .. hammed character knows his stuff about the launch procedures? :o
And for gawd's sake, be careful that they don't overload your trailer-tent .... wouldn't want to become embroiled in any kinda international incident, should the floor give up the ghost. Probably best to avoid the motorways, and stick to the B-roads. ;)
Mikhail and Dmitri'll know how to handle things once you arrive .... I'm sure they will .... :-\

No no no .... definately don't use the petrol station's mugger's paradise facilities.
There was some kinda explosion incident in their toilets a few days back which clean slipped my mind when the cleaning girl slung her fag end into the bog pan. The boss had been trying to get to the bottom of a shortfall in the takings .... but they now know that it's one of the underground tanks that's leaking. Our Uzbekistani friend Boris reckons that there's nowt to worry about .... :o
De-luxe toilet/washroom portakabin facilities are available for campers/caravanners in the Nissen Hut hotel. Sorted. ;)

Hang on, Daz is passing your way to join us .... wonder if he'd help to lighten the load?
I mean, he doesn't really need to know what's in those wooden crates .... does he? :-\

No, but he is a suspicious sort of person and may go digging to see if his the missing Crocks are in there, it is an OOF meet after all, so he has the right to be cautious............ :D :D :D

What time are you/Miss Vamps looking to arrive? ::)
About lunch time, I am signed off at the moment, for another week, and I will throw a line to school to keep the Education Welfare Officers at bay........something on the lines of 'Educated off site' and I am sure she is in for an Education......... :D :D :D :y :y

Made it back from another short ban :-X ::)
I've managed to rig up a tank for the back of the car with an old oil drum and had a spare pump knocking about so should be able to spray the 200L of fuel I'm bringing... I reckon that will get it going nicely :y We'll be there lunchtime ish :y

here we go again ;D ;D ;D

The sun's shining and everything's ready for this evening.(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43954633/rofl.gif)
Be careful as you approach the site entrance .... just ignore the 'Police - Do not cross' tape (or make-out that you didn't see it, when challenged if stopped .... and searched) :o
-
Well we were going to just turn up incognito, but reading right through the thread it appears this 'do' will be a little too tame for us so we're just going to stay at home this year & set off a few catherine wheels (on next doors fence :D). Have as much fun as the White Lightning allows and try not to burn down the neighbourhood! ;D :y
-
With only a few days to go now, I reckon that it's time for an update:
The very co-operative crane-driving Mick has just about finished lifting the trees into position for us. All the tyres are piled-up into the base, though it seems that the skip which contained 'em has somehow entered the metal recycling process disappeared overnight without trace, along with the pallet-load of scaffolding pipes which were strewn across the 'hotel' car park .... after the crane jib unfortunately struck the gable end of one of the made slight contact with the roof/end wall of one of the 4-poster suites. Mick's a jack of all trades (it seems), and has carried-out a most effective repair by tying a tarpaulin over the said damage. He informs me that the affected suite now boasts air-conditioning at no extra cost to our sponsor .... fair play to the man .... I suppose :o
Anyway, the fun starts at 6pm; and we're free to arrive on site from mid-day onwards.
A full English breakfast (not sponsored by Auto Addict) will be available the following morning for a fiver each, and we all need to leave by 11am.
BBQ:
Mrs Seth (assisted by Mrs dad1uk .... apparently)
Usual fayre - including prime Wiltshire pork bangers (courtesy of Mr Entwood); 100% British-ish quarter-pounders (courtesy of ....); and marrow pickle (courtesy of Taxi Driver) etc etc.
m.ian's kindly donating a small sack of spuds to sling into the bonfire too!

Is it me or is someone missing from this list ?? I have a feeling that a certain Welshman may be staying in rather better accommodation than the rest of us ?? I bet he has decent Air Con and heating ... :(

Missed that Nige, perhaps the certain welshman is the guy so doesn't need accomodation ;D
or
perhaps after the local 'heddlu' have read this post as evidence of said welsh organiser and he may be given accomodation courtesy of the Queen! It would have a bar in but I fear no Doombar or any other such alcohol!! ;D ;D

Now there's a thought .. if he fails to provide the "facilities" to our expected standard ... we park him atop the bonfire .. just to keep him warm .... :) ... like that idea .. LOTS .. :)

Seth - Could you find some ear defenders for Holly Dog, she doesn't mind the little bangs its the huge explosions that she doesn't like. Ta muchly :)

perhaps the firework for the finale might be a little to much for poor Holly

Perhaps it may be time to join Jay and Amber buried under lots of blankets with the radio on :y ;D

Should be there soon, taking it easy though as I don't want the fireworks going off in the boot, also bringing some Polish Sausage which will go nicely on the BBQ
-
You should all have turned up on Saturday, pig roast was delicious, made a fortune selling it to the locals.

I think it's about time we lit the fire :y
I've only got a lighter on me though and I have no intention of getting close enough to light it with that :o :o

I've heard that if you park an Insignia nose first in the bonfire, you should be able to use the cigarette lighter... just run like 'Ussain Bolt' while lobbing the hot lighter over your shoulder.

Where the "Seth's" and the Boy?
Hold on just had a text but as no power at Police Station Seth unable to exercise his legal right to a phone call!!!!

Glad that you're all enjoying yourselves .... but me, Mrs Seth and TheBoy are presently
banged-up unavoidably detained somewhere in town .... along with four hammered inebriated geezers of Eastern Bloc origin. :o
Hard to really tell where we are due to a total blackout, but TB keeps colliding with walking into some sort of iron bars. I'm reckoning that we're at the local nick meself .... especially as some bloke by the name of Sargant-Dickson (or possibly Sergeant Dickson) mentioned the term 'bail' .... whatever that is ....
Mrs Seth's customary good nature is being sorely tested by all this darkened confusion, and just inadvertently mistakenly clouted this Boris sort TheBoy after he Boris tripped-over a pair of crocs and ended-up with two black eyes after colliding head-on with her. :-[
So .... any chance that a couple of you OOFers can get down here a bit sharpish and come to our rescue bail us out pleeease?
TB has just muttered that there'll be no post-count cull .... honest! ;)
What a night .... :'(

Wonder where we have heard that before..... ::) ::) ::)
If I get my post-count back I will be there, with cash, within the hour......still got to finish the sausages.... :D :D :D

Slight problem, Lazydocker has let my tyres down and poured me another whisky, so he is preventing me from bailing you all out I am afraid.......Sorry........... :'( :'( :'(

It all went pear-shaped when TB's new caravan became entangled in the "Police - do not cross" tape at the site entrance.
Anyway, he'd asked me not to tell anyone that in reality he's got this caravan 'thing' - that's why he arrived early, you understand. Well things went rapidly downhill from there, 'cos Dmitri was supposed to be guiding Mikhail's crane outa the site just as TB tried to give his outfit the beans in the opposite direction .... the aftermath result was .... well .... the crane jib went straight through the caravan .... which caused the Silver Bullet .... to er .... detach itself and collide embed itself into that already shored-up temporarily-repaired gable end .... of what would've been your 4-poster suite.
Mrs Seth, Mrs TB and I were following in our TD .... and the ensuing mayhem was .... er well .... like a scene depicting a bad day in Bosnia. Then some clot demolished that pylon the National Grid went down .... ::)
Mrs Seth reckons that he's confusedcussed .... though he's just mumbled something about placing a 'wanted' ad on the forum for two wings and a bonnet in Z147 Star Silver .... not sure what he meant by that .... :o
Unless someone stands bail arrives here soon, it looks like it'll be porridge for us lot in the morning .... enjoy that Horlicks ya Moonraker .... >:(

I've got a plan... Be there soon :y
Not got any money though so stay away from the outside walls where you are ;)

My plan involves SAM and the 55L or so of petrol I have left in the drum ;)
As for the driving... It's ok, I found some spotty yoof to drive me :y He even supplied a car and helped lift the drum of fuel across :y

Thank goodness for that..... ::) :-[ Right, that explains the shortage of interpreters ;) ;) Who has put up Bail since you stopped me, by plying me with whisky and sausages?........ :o :o :D
-
Its ok I found a use for the left over fireworks I brought and
blew half the police station up fitted the police station cells with aircon.
They looked happy and excited when they returned to the station after chasing some guys with bin bags though town :D
-
Well, sounds like the night went with a bang for
all most of you lot! ;D
There was a news report on SKY News earlier that the Heddlu are blaming last nights mayhem on a local Welsh Nationalist Terror Cell who apparently had Intelligence that an influx of English 'Incomers' were due to be in the area. The Freedom Fighters Terrorists are believed to have used homemade Pyrotechnics and an Accellerant believed to be a petrol/diesel fuel mix reported to have been carried by a silver coloured saloon car, which has now been positively identified as a Vauxhall Omega after Forensic Tests on the body panels left at the scene. A wrecked caravan at the site was also thought initially to be involved but the Authorities now believe from the very tacky interior decor and a hidden stash of pine scented car airfresheners, that this now points to it being dumped by transient Pikeys 'Travellers' or possibly Illegal Eastern European car valeters as a number of Cosovan's had earlier been detained at the Police Station which was also partially destroyed in a mystery blast which caused minor injuries and Concussive Amnesia to the Officers on duty there at the time. There were fortunately no other reported injuries and Police sources say no other persons were being detained at that time AS FAR AS IS KNOWN! ::) ;D ;)

Good morning from Seth's Towers .... which now resembles a realistic scene from Holby City :'(
Mrs Seth's kitchen currently has an extremely confused Uzbekistanian demolition expert with suspected perforated ear drums stumbling around the place, whilst TB remains in a stable condition on the settee .... though his face currently resembles that of a panda .... undoubtedly the result of that unfortunate collision with Mrs Seths' knuckles.
Probably a case of 'wrong place - wrong time' I suppose. :-\
I ain't too bad (well .... relatively speaking) .... just cuts and bruises .... oh, and a breaked-up sprained left ankle .... which occurred after the first explosion Lazydocker blew the wrong door causing a concrete lintel to fall on eet. Whilst my foot was trapped under the rubble, a second explosion attempt at effecting our escape release was ultimately a resounding success .... except for that Mikhail sort dragging me outside .... without first releasing my foot. It seems that young Plomien put a tad too much fertilizer and marrow pickle into the volatile mixture .... 'practise makes perfect' springs to mind mate! :y
Lazyscrotebag and Tony Knome's commando tactics must be congratulated I suppose, though you need to tell the Captain that we'll 'sort' his car at Newent .... anyone got a facelift saloon bodyshell going cheap? :D
We're all planning a quiet day here .... then I've gotta repatriate take the TBs home .... just wait 'til he goes online! ;D
Right 'en .... who's up for Newent?(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43954633/rofl.gif)

It appears that someone's messin' with the controls! >:(

It's good to know you all got off relatively scott free Seth :y
You were all doubly lucky not to suffer Flash Burns as that marrow pickle is very unstable at high temperatures & has been known to leave indelible scars, although i'm told it has a very therapeutic affect on bad backs :-\ :o :y
Some good might come out of all this though, IF you can perfect the fuel/pickle ratio you could flog it Internationally as a cheaper alternative to Napalm! ;D

Looks like Busies are a bit busy down by you this morning Seth ;D

Oh, and it appears on of your lot's homemade 'bangers' didn't go off! :D

The desk sergeant at the nick isn't pleased, apparently he'd just had it lpg'd and resprayed!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't look like the copper to me Phil .... deffo gotta be that Lazydocker character surveying the damage remains of the Capitaan's car .... probably trying to think-up a 'story' .... summat like the LPG installation was .... er .... 'suspect', maybe :-[
Still, Mr Zok's a good sort .... am sure that he'll understand .... won't he?
A couple of replacement doors, seats and a windscreen .... and there's a set of alloys kicking 'round here .... and his motor'll be as good as new .... so to speak.
Probably need a full alignment though .... :o
-
Oh yes, defo some alignment necessary! ;D
-
I reckon that should 'buff out', at the worst perhaps the light use of some T-Cut.

Need to correct ya there Phil. ;)
Photo shows the present 'lock-down' situation at a bowling green in the Birmingham Midlands area.
It now seems that enquiries are being focussed there, and all leave has been cancelled. Anyone with information regarding the current whereabouts about an Insignia-owning pensioner admin should notify the law pronto .... and not approach this felon .... one source even suggests that he could be masquerading as a roast pork bap fast food vendor! :o

I/we now need some help:
TB needs to be transferredported back home .... and as me left ankle's somewhat knackered .... was wondering if some kind soul could lend an auto-boxed Omega to effect said operation task? ::)
As the keys to the OOF helicopter are 'lost' Silver Bullet is .... well .... out of action .... looks like it's gonna be another a long night .... ???
Wait a mo .... where's that Entwood chappie .... ? :-\

I is here ... :) but unable to leave the premises as my tame plumber has the boiler in bits ..... he arrived with a selection of parts and has since been heard cursing and swearing ... it would appear that my boiler is a bit like a Vx V6 .. designed to be worked on when on a bench not in situ .....

You could always call the local UK Border Force Seth, rub a bit of gravy browning on TB's physog while he's snoring the roof off dozing and Bob's your uncle, Pinkies your aunt, you needn't worry about transport :y. I'm sure TB can talk the head off a wooden donkey himself out of the smelly stuff well before Thiefrow Airport so no harm done :-\ ;D

A likely story ex mate .... :-\
Still, we've now got the logistics in place .... so to speak ....
Mrs Seth's sorted the spare room, and the TBs are staying-over tonight .... and I 'appen to know a man .... who knows a geezer .... who knows a thing or two about train travel. Reckons that he can sort 'em an iffy excellent cash deal for tomorrow .... apparently :o
The only 'sane' people here wives have just returned from the Bombbay Tandoori with some spiced-up concoction, and we're now around the table getting stuck-in to a Far Eastern feast .... wish our leader'd stop goin' on 'bout 'Gixer's Free Fitting Service .... for Poly Donut Bushes .... or summat .... ::)
