Mrs Fungo out with friend but back any moment......had hoped SBY had surfaced hours ago....(being trucked up from Crewkerne).....
This could be very inconvenient.

I've been there mate. We sometimes sail very close to the wind. Hold your nerve and front it out. At worst you could play the" I'm storing it for a mate" card?

Thanks guys......it's good to know you are there....
Mrs Fungo just pulled up......gravel being chucked around under her tyres and car door been slammed......I don't think she's in the best of moods.
Keys now heard in the lock - back soon..........

This is not a bad thing.

Standing outside for an hour or so......now he emails saying he's in Telford and will deliver first thing....
Thoroughly f*cking annoyed with couriers right now.

Crewkerne, Somerset.
I found him via Shiply at a price of 91 sovs........
Told me he could pick up late Sunday morning but would not commit to a time.....so I told Rod (Thud) that he would be there between 10-12 today.
Around 1pm I got a snotty email saying that I should never promise times to people as this 'never works'....and he called Rod to say he'd be there at 2pm.......Rod said he turned up at 2:30pm.

Mate, really chuffed for ya! Thing is there's no rush with this one, don't put yourself under any pressure. The point is she's back home and going nowhere. Tuck her up in the back of the garage. Restore it or don't restore it. You have the option now or in 5 years time. Result mate, really pleased for you. I do hope mrs Fungo didn't inflict too much pain. Lol

I bet it's a great feeling being reunited, I would love to have some of my old bikes back even though it needs a lot of work it is in the right hands , I bet that SD cannot believe its luck  |
