Richard just looking and spotted this . I don't think I can put a heart felt feeling into it how can I when i lost my best mate all the way through school and work . We both saved each others life . I saved him from being drowned by a group of drunken yobs ( yes there is another hard side to me that people seldom see ) and he grabbed me as I went round a corner in a J4 van no seat belt sliding doors I slipped out of the sliding door quick as a flash he grabbed me and pulled me across the seat or I would have gone under the front wheels .

Yes I enjoyed the cruise but not the way I wanted it to be but who knows because on the 1st night June and I slinked off to a quiet room only a few mins and who should walk in but a mog mate from Manchester he has an early 1950s twin spare tyres whats the odds on that. He said you go mate I want to see it through your eyes I don't think i understand that he was so near to death did he know something I did not yet we both 100% atheists . Sorry but my cheeky grin is on my face as my eyes watched a good few Swedish women knowing my late mate would have done the same . When it was all over June and I called in to see how his wife was as she is disabled . She sent us to there bedroom to take something from Fred's box on the window sill ( I took a pair of cuff links with classic car on them . Rita shouted from down stairs " you better not get up to any naughty as I am timing you " I fired back hope your watch does milli seconds . when we got down stairs I was told " you always have an answer but so did Fred two pea's in a pod

If there was a God and he sent someone down if it was not Fred I would send him back with a blunt letter.

You will have to read this several times as I found it hard to write it sorry mate.


...early 1950s twin spare tyres..

That could describe quite a number of people on this forum innocent

Nice to see you posting John
