Tea? (Part 2)

[Night Train]

Military vehicle Club eh? There is one of those Army Surplus Stores not a million miles from here.

Here we go. http://www.mvt.org.uk/video.html
It was at one of their events, many years ago, I got the chance to tow a really big gun with my Land Rover.

Then when I joined the Duxford Aviation museum I got to drive a Stalwart and move a tank that was missing its turret.
With a Land Rover club, tagging along at heavy vehicle trials, I also got to play with some Scammells and at steam rallies I drove a Thornycroft Antar tank transporter during the arena display. I also managed to play with fire engines and got to test drive a Dodge fire engine that a friend was thinking of buying.

I eventually got my own AEC Matador artillary tractor that would normally have pulled the gun I first towed.

Be still, my beating heart...

I drove the Company of Cyclists ex-mobile library in a carnival once, all the way down St Albans high street at walking pace... My clutch foot went numb...

I didn't mean for the firemen to tie you to a fire engine, Speicher. I thought you could join them on parades, like a military goat.

Hmm, I think I better stop digging.

Tea?

It would appear that the Ashdown WW2 camp (from Night Train's Link) is not a million miles from here.

Here? Is that close to 'There'?

My main impression from that page is that mannequins really aren't designed to pose with bikes...

Hoorah. I have Freeview. This means I can watch Top Gear in Africa on Dave ja vue...

On a subject close to peeps' hearts on this thread: I have to choose the nibbles for my Mother's part of the party that will be at her house in the late afternoon/evening of her birthday.

She has said she would like Prawn Crackers (that's the easy bit, cos Tecso's only have two or three sorts on-line).

Crisps? Any favourites, or ones not to touch with a barge pole? Red Sky, Seabrooks? Doritos?

Pringles, yes, the edible sort, not the jumpers ? I will be doing an on-line order tomorrow, if you have any sensible suggestions.

 

[Night Train]

I can't eat prawn crackers. Even one will make my mouth swell up.

I like sweet chilli flavoured crisps though.

you're on the slippery slope now Arch, next stop a 50" telly and Sky HD 3D

Don't forget to watch BBC4 11pm Wellington Bomber. Ahh, that will be past your bed time. You'll be wanting a freeview recorder next, or Sky Plus.

Yes, Tyrrells do a good chilli flavoured crisp, but not on-line at Tecso's.
Red Sky might be the next best perhaps.

Alas, it will..

I'll get used to colour before I get any more fancy ideas....

Speicher - Kettle chips are good posh crisps. Vegetable crisps are an interesting addition to the buffet table.

Nuts are good - I like them salted - peanuts, cashews, macadamias...

Will there be a cheesy-pineapple-on-sticks-inna-cabbage?

Will there be dips? Those grissini breadsticks are good for dipping. I could eat my own bodyweight in cheesy-pineapple-on-sticks and breadsticks-in-dip.

Time for bed, before I make myself hungry! Night all!

Red Sky crisps are nice. I'm fond of the sea salt ones, featuring salt from Plax's neck o' the woods.
I can also vouch for Coronation Chicken, having made some earlier on.

 

[Speicher]

I like the Red Sky ones, but not Kettle Chips. Two flavours of Red Sky then, sea salt and sweet pepper.

Does anyone want me to add anything to the on-line order:

Potsy: Six boxes of Magnums?

The folding bicycle in that link, looks similar to the one in my garage. Were they made from discarded tank parts?
