Week? Seems like days from most of your posts. Actually I think you're in a real life Terminal situation, just you never stop moving :)

My average speed is quite high, I suppose! The last few months have been pretty quiet from a travel point of view, but this week will be a good airmiles boost, plus interesting to go to some places I've never visited before. I'd like to have spent a night in Rio, but for some bizarre reason the flight price doubled if I came back on Saturday night instead of Friday. Airlines are weird.

Morning, 8th day on bat for me, 80 odd hours last week. Feel like Newtons apprentice. Bit groundhoggy. Looks like we will finish on time if not early. Even with all the extra work they have thrown in.
Have a good day.

Benny will send you to the naughty step Phil! As you say classic French culture; should be able to run the blockades it it though.

Having completed the containers yesterday I’m playing catch up today. Alex is off to the NEC to look at motorbikes.

Have fun all....

Nothing like going back in time for a bit if historic french culture... Did the same years back with a 2CV. Drove from Scotland to Bordeaux no problem...would have loved a DS mind you.

You should grab this:

Can make some pretty patterns.

Morning you lot. Quite a committed landing at LHR this morning but nothing appeared to break apart from my lower legs which are three times their normal size.
Glad to be home. Start the Christmas stuff now :D

Morning, quiet day today after a night on the tiles.

Phil way to go...live in France, go native.

Been searching for a RHD Renault 14 for years now, keep an eye out if you see one. Plenty of LHD in France.

Scary landings at the end of a long haul are not what you want Chris; LHR-Macau for me was the most frightening, encountered a hole in the air on finals, engines screamed away as we dropped and just picked up air about 100 ft or so up, I thought we were in the drink for sure. Almighty thump but thankfully on the runway.

Glad you are back safely.

There's a blast from the past. Next door to my parents had one.

You try finding a RHD one, it’s impossible. There are about 5 left. I know they are horrendous pile of French poo but it was my first car and cut my teeth on car repairs on it.

Morning, all. Glad you made it down ok, Chris, even if bumpy. Flight to Buenos Aires was tremendous. Ate well, good wine, slept like a log and woke up refreshed. Now in an almighty immigration queue, just to even things out a bit.

Matt, why not just get a LHD? Car that small it wouldn't make much difference which side you sit.

Probably saved your life though

I'm on my way to blackburn to collect a van I bought last week from exeter

When I picked it up it had a full tank of fuel in it , I said to the guy, it's got a full tank of fuel in it

You can thank that **** for that

This guy stood next to him said , you told us to fill the Vans up every night

Not when they're for ******* sale I didn't!

So it came with £120 worth of diesel in it

That’s life Wack, some you win and all that.

Morning all, spending the day in the garage today. Making stainless chain nets at great expense.

Have fun all...
