Good Lord, did you see the size of that Aircraft Carrier?

So many things to do & see.

Would love to just go to New York, or wherever, hire a car, & meander, slowly slowly, right across the USA, staying at little roadside motels, & eating at Diners. Doubt it'll eve happen, but you never know.

On this trip, will only be there a day, but would deffo like to see that boat thing. And Del Mar. And The Padres. See what I mean?

[Lucky]

Do you want the monies sent to your usual bank? £85 for 1%?

Yes please, Simon, though no rush yet awhile.

Can you up mine to a tooth, or whatever we call that in the fens.

Delighted to, David, thanks.

I'm assuming a "tooth" is 2%, right?

Bloody Chompy & his silly words, lowering the class here.

I'll take 2% if still available please.

Morning Alan.

How did you spot this? I've not been doing much Diary stuff lately, but people keep popping up on here. I ought to make a bit more effort to post. Just so busy with stuff.

Anyway, yes, of course, 2% BOOKED.

Will edit the list shortly.  

Thanks =I'm a  long term and regular reader of your diary.  Have PM'd you re payment and bank details.

Secret Life of the Motorway
Falling in Love
Secret Episode 1 of 3

Three-part documentary which celebrates the birth of motorways and hails the achievements of those behind the 'road revolution'. The first episode takes us from the excitement of the building of the first motorway in Britain, the M6 Preston bypass, to the celebration of the most complex, Spaghetti Junction.

With amazing archive and often hilarious public information films, we take a trip back to a time when not only were motorways exciting and new, but there was also no speed limit. Interviews with the engineers who designed them, the navvies who built them and the people who drove on them bring to life and celebrate an achievement that we now take so much for granted.


You fancy watching that?

Tikay?



I'll take that as a "yes"

[Tal]

Should I cc the editors of Bluff in?

Possible you are attending an gardening and allotment conference Stateside of course.

Nailed it, and you saved me a rather awkward reply and explanation. The Allotment Association Outing is May 31st - June 9th, mixed in with a bit of poker. All other dates are available.

It's very cheap to fly to San Diego and back from Vegas, so maybe we could do it during your trip. Ryan was telling me that Del Mar racecourse is in Dan Diego, too, and well worth a visit.

I don't believe in all this bucket list nonsense, but if I did, going racing at Del Mar would be pretty prominent on mine.

Meant to be the most beautiful racecourse in the world (although would have to go some way to be more amazing than Les landes which is breathtaking).

I believe Del Mar only has one meeting per year though - in August. But I'll check it out to make sure.

Think I've seen this before or if not it was something incredibly similar.

Very interesting series and well worth a watch.

[redsimon]

been on before, well worth watching

[Tal]

Fair enough, chaps. Looks like I'm going to miss it twice, then

Is that the new Top Gear Presenter narrating?

[MrDickie]

Been up to Foyles this morning, as I'm running short of books.

Got these three.....












Flicked through the Danny Baker books on the train back, & immediately loved it. He writes as he talks, which is perfect, EXACTLY the style I most enjoy in writing.

They'll be finished within the week.

Finished the first Danny B and according to my Kindle 71% through the second at the moment. Both a wonderful read, so much so that some mornings I groan when the train rolls into Fenchurch Street.

£85 sent by bank transfer. I was going to round it up to £100 but then remembered the grief I got on here last year.

I just hope you ENJOY it and not worry too much about cashing/working too hard when out there/spending too much time reporting back etc etc etc. Go and relax and have a bit of Tikay time for a change.

....looks like I will miss out this year but I hope I may get out there next year.

PS....I only invest every year for the wonderful Jeeves Reports.....and have never expected a return, at all . So, GL GL GL.

[MANTIS01]

Oh you better worry about cashing this time! Wasn't it zero cashes last year, embarrassing, I mean let's get back on it this time around! None of this 'I am a weak player and a pussy' talk either!

How much you want? Same deets?

[bobAlike]

Can you send bank details please. Will try and ship later but may have to wait until Friday when back in Blighty. Cheers
