[hodroyd]

Excellent Frank, I'm keeping trim now after getting rid of Xmas inches, Maser goes a bit faster too with the lower load..!!

 

[Parisien]

Plus hes reduced my meds.........he says it almost NEVER happens...................... well chuffed


P

 

[hodroyd]

Hey great news, that's the sort of thing that cheers you up no end and proves you are actually getting younger again...!!

 

[Parisien]

Haven't felt as well for 20 yrs..........have thrown the party pack of Viagra in the bin......




P

 

[hodroyd]

Oh that's where the 20's comes in, shame about the viagra I'm sure you could have sold them on here..!! Glad you are feeling top notch, it makes a difference..!!

How's Madame P coping with you in this young vigorous state..??

 

[Parisien]

Shes gone into hiding, even taken her name off the electoral register......


P

 

[Parisien]

Nothing has been done to Lancia over last few months, then the guy doing the work has had a heart attack a fortnight ago and won't be working for 3-6 months, hes doing well but has to take it easy and stop smoking after 55 years!

So another bout of showing my resto project to strangers who might improve her, one guy, a Hungarian has a good reputation locally so hes getting first dibs as I'd already lined him up to to the paintwork......time will tell


P

 

[hodroyd]

I'm sure it's only a blip Frank, it will get back on track soon..!! Hope your man get's himself right..!!

 

[Parisien]

A lot more grief for the guy who'd been doing it, but he'd not really cracked on when he should have been....3 guys coming to size her up!

P

 

[Parisien]

First guy been.....quote a tad high so some negotiating to be done.....will hopefully nail down by weeks end

P

 

[hodroyd]

Fingers crossed for you Frank, hope you get what you want..!!

 

[Parisien]

It'll work out Rob, plus if the favourite guy does it.....it will be done in 8 weeks....other guy has had it for 9 mths and only done 1/3 of work!


P

 

[hodroyd]

So the first guy was cheap but did not do the work, the next guy is a bit more expensive but will complete in 8 weeks, sounds simple when you look at it like that..??
