a fairground life
Sorry its a bit dark, I took it on my phone.
I'm a bit out of touch with the kids cartoons today. I wonder if they know of yogi, the flintstones or sylvester and tweetie??? "r" did the bugs on the front its very good and impressed me that he had hidden artistic talents. Need to do the top up now. Probably a re-colour and maybe some vinyl stickers instead of painting onto the PV material.
Easter was very quiet for us too, every one must have been at the sea side. Pity KLM wasn't last week eh? Not much happening, spending a lot of time on paper work for coming events, at least I'm feeling the benefit of my mobile b/band. Everything working well (don't jinx it) , only had a couple of tack welds to do as repairs, one on a speaker hinge the other on a motor bracket. Closed next week, but have plenty of wee jobs to do unless find a last minute gaff. Replaced 1 weekend of the time capsule, just working on the other now.

the show looks top notch showman may i say good work s and r. here in the doldrums of the scottish borders its few weeks till the local common ridings ride outs begin if your wondering what a ride out is its where they ride to check the boundaries of the town and surrouding villages in the catchment areas and good excuse fornsocial event(few beverages) as hawick is my home town our first ride out is first weekend may and the big week is first week june when the large funfair takes centre stage in the towns festivities where b's dodgems and twist etc visit. showman i will come see you on your borders fairs.cheers borderer blakey still not near internet connection. well thats my background story.
Can i just say any talent r has is very well hidden. Cant believe how much has been written in my absence. Ive been a wee bit busy of late .Bit of driving,lots of paperwork for new season,bought some property,sold a caravan and bought a replacement,and still in the middle of a complete overhaul of roundabout. This also included some necessary welding jesters. Have to thank showman for that. He comes in handy sometimes. I also got some beer in,but only after showman ran me to tesco. Talk about desperate.
With regards to the gypo debate. I myself married the daughter of a gypsy. I too have no objection to being called a gypsy,but it does tend to be said in a derogatory way. This is when it becomes objectionable.
Good news showman. Ive just packed up and moved my roundabout[mid major overhaul],so you can get all your crap on next week.
Show looks good,at least in the photo. Can anyone spot the deliberate mistake with regards the artwork. I did point it out to showman before the varnish went on,but he was too lazy to fix it. Its towards the right of the show as you look at it. You also messed up on the kia story. Its my old man's thats in garage not mine. Looks like ill have to scan all the posts ive missed so i can continue my sensorship.
With regards to the april the 4th post. Who put the tyres on your car in december.
OK OK, you're right! you did take the car in December to get the tyres put on, but if we are splitting hairs here (and it has been known) then it was actually the tyre fitter who did it. You was only the delivery boy!!!!
and if you had a kept your eye on him he might NOT have fitted a duffer!!!!!
you've got to be kidding blakey!!! "in mid overhaul" it been months, I could have built a wee machine,travelled it, worn it out and refurbished it again and it still wouldn't have taken as long as you!!!! plus I been on holiday, refurbed the show, been open at two fairs for a month and your still &%$^*&$£$ about with your juvenile!!! was it slow drying paint or something? or maybe you was doing it with a tooth flossing brush?
and don't say you've been open too, 2 afternoons in a month should hardly hold the job up.
ah blakey good to have you back the bickering has been started again lol. you should get pics up of the finished product how that sound showman? what fair you at after the mall. when the border fairs time comes round i will pop in and say hello maybe even give you a hand?. cheers borderer. hope all well.
