I can hardly flipping walk and its seriously starting to piss me right off! Is it the cold weather, doubt it as I´m in the warm, whats percoolyer is that its my left hip giving me most trouble when its the right one that has the arthritis. Had to go upstairs for something and I walked like someone with a wooden leg up the stairs. Oh wo are we for we are, oh no, your not, I am getting old, your just too fat.

The Dunlop kit arrived from Holland today, excellent quick delivery, and I've spent the afternoon preparing the port side of the van for fitting it. I'll post some pics later. I have to say I was proper impressed with the hardware, looks superb quality and very well packaged. I've had to drill a couple of holes that were absent from my chassis and that was a right feckin' faff as access was poor and I'm not very nimble. I've given the holes a coat of speshul fishoil-based paint and I'll slather it all with waterproof grease when I do the final assembly. I've just come in, leaving the van all skewiff on blocks, just dropped an airbag on my foot (feck, that hurt , but it'll give Bazza a larf ). I'm aching all over, so going for a long soak with a humungous G&T. I've done very well with the eating the last couple of days, I'm feeling faint with hunger, so the G&T will prolly result in me drowning in the bath. If I don't post later, please send an undertaker to Tugboat Towers. Laterz.

Last we heard you were fitting your own suspension (which frankly is barmy) and getting in the bath with a bottle of Gin. Some on here were concerned about you. I was about to call your Carer (Again). Twat!

There has been considerable risk of me ending up like one of those half-a-Garfield things that people used to adorn their boot-lids with.
As of now, the airbags are installed (only taken a couple of days, but I had to drill and paint holes and then that twat Friggers descended on me and kept getting in the way) and the tubez led up into the wardrobe where ze comprezzor will be fitted. Then I have to fix the control panel in the cab and link it all up. Shouldn't take more than another fortnight. I'm thinking of doing it for a living, I could make a fortune.
