Well, he was a Scotsman, so it was difficult to tell! The company I worked for at that time was Clan Line - all ships named after a Clan & registered in Glasgow. A large number of the officers were Scottish. One miserable voyage, myself & another Junior Engineer were the only English on the ship! If they weren't persecuting the Sassenachs, they were divided into 'proddies' and 'papists' - it was a hellish four months, and afraid coloured my attitude to those north of the border for many years.................Thanks Neil, trying and most of all enjoying the attempts. Its a good job most of the two under the tractor won't be seen
Sounds like a nightmare , did he survive ?
You know me well Jim for bases, in my element now.Hi John
Frankenstein figures look fine. Really fit as mechanics. Tarp looks to have worked well. Base is off to a fine start.
That's serious research.
Kia collect your car - that's good. I had to take mine and kill time at the main dealer although to be honest I only used the main dealer as the car was due a recall. Normally I use a local garage who are great but even they don't collect.

.I hate waiting when it comes to servicing the car and the local garage doesn't have a decent place to sit without getting an oily smudge.
Cheers,

Problem on a ship is that you can't really avoid people - It was commonly said that that a psychologist would have the time of their life, studying the behavior of people confined together for 4-5 months at a time! We all developed some form of change, especially towards the end of a trip ( 'the channels' )Have worked and known a few, they would often take the micky and say how they had come to save the English ! So know how you feel.
The thought of being stuck like that must have made you wonder why you carried on Dave.Problem on a ship is that you can't really avoid people - It was commonly said that that a psychologist would have the time of their life, studying the behavior of people confined together for 4-5 months at a time!

Hi Si, yes the old tracks again, every time I think I can do them and then it all goes down hillAfternoon Mr R,
Just having a bit of a catchup and sad to see that the plastic track curse has struck again !!
The rest of it is looking good though mate…..dare say you’ll pull it all together sir
When you're young, you can accept things, that later on in life would have you running for the hills!The thought of being stuck like that must have made you wonder why you carried on Dave.
YMC...A? I'll get my coatLooking good now John. The picture of the three figures after surgery makes them look like a dance troupe though LOL….

My word madness comes to mind, I got hot just walking to the top of the garden Jim, well done the team.Hi John
Too hot here for me. Been supporting my son in law and others who set a new Guinness record for playing rugby. 33hrs 33mins 33sec. Fancy choosing such a hot weekend. Mind you he did the London marathon a few years ago and that was one of the hottest ever.
Door looks great. Your years of working with wood really show
Jim
