Did you not tell him to keep up with current affairs then Pat? 🤣 🤣 🤣Â
A brill compliment indeed Pat! 😜Â
Got the band to announce "The Luscious One's" birthday last night,getting her a standing ovation so the brownie point mauntain is high!! Another great weekend here meeting with blokes I hadn't bumped into in 30 yrs and quaffing the black stuff by the gallon,less so last night as I was still burned out from friday and we crept out at 10 or so back to the van. Off to the north east in a few minutes to drag her round new places for a couple of days,probably Scarborough and Whitby providing the increasingly loud van makes it!
Any photo's of the event then Pat?
Yes that would have gone down wellPosted by: @patGot the band to announce "The Luscious One's" birthday last night, getting her a standing ovation so the brownie point mountain is high!!Â

Only time a gerra standin ovation Pat iz when a fukk off, wi "Thank fukk fer that!" ringin in mi tabs!
No photos from me Bob,I don't have a camera and my little push button Nokia phone would be no good for it. I was too pissed to think of that sort of thing anyway,the 50 yard stagger back to the van from the rugby club was challenge enough for both me and her!
We've just arrived in Bridlington,quick dash round the sea front and an ice cream and off to a camp site to get cleaned up after the weekend slumming it in the car park. Off to Scarborough tomorrow then on to Whitby before heading home on wednesday,about 2000 miles round trip in all and the van has impressed with it's staying power for a 32 yr old rust bucket!
Spent some trips ta Bridlington az a bin lid Pat wi the Workin mens club bin lids charabang day out n used ta av a boat trip on The Yorkshire Bell wi most o the kids angin o,er the side givin it the owd Bill,Huey n Ralph! Scarboro a nice joint wi the owd Castle but wetch out fer the ghost of "Naa Then,NaaThen,NaaThen!" 😊 Whitby az a brill chippy, n if tha wants ta keep thi fitness levels up, run up them steps that tek thi up to the Abbey!" 😫Â
She's dreading those steps as she hates any effort in getting anywhere,moaned like f.ck on the ferry when they put us down on deck 7 with the lorries and she had about 100 steps to get up to the passenger deck! I told her Whitby was famous for it's chippies so she's looking forward to that at least! Don't think I'll be up to running up those steps either,the gammy ankle and hip are giving me gip after the last few days of strutting round the bars of brecon and juggling the pedals of the van 6 or 7 hours a day as well so I might have to resort to the stick tomorrow!
Doesn't Whitby have a funicular railway?
Â
My Daughter has just been up to Whitby, she loved it had some good weather to boot, then they Drove to Ilkley. judging by the photos they took looks like a very nice spot!
Didn't think much of Scarborough so came on to Whitby,toured the abbey then went for a great fish and chips before driving to a camp site to spend the night before exploring the full town in the morning. Then we're off towards the M6 to stop in Kendal and Penrith,before heading to Dumfries on wednesday to pop into the flying museum with it's Airborne section and to pick up some haggis before heading for the ferry home. Only home for just over a day before I've got to head for Londonistan to rent a special suit demanded by the youngest stepson for his wedding and go on the piss with him at the rugby. Oh the jet setting life's for me!
Did you get your fish and chips here Pat
Years agu Scarboro wuz famous fer its WW11 sea battle in Peashome Park. Brilliant fer kids ta wetch, realistic battle ships on the pond and wire mounted aircraft flying across bombin em. Pyrotechnics in the pond med it a great spectacle. Not sure if they still do it tho?
