PM me your addresses and I'll post 'em off in September when I'm in the UK. *** ALL GONE *** Al. Danny - send me your addy too, we can sort axle shenanigans separately.

Astro_Al Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Mark - I'd mentally set a few aside for fellow WBBSCers anyway, and since two of them are included in the 8 'winners', I've got a bit of leeway - effectively counted them twice. Bung me your address and you can be a bonus winner! Besides, I haven't brown-nosed any moderators for at least 24 hours... Jez - yeah cool, I'll be up that weekend anyway. I thought it was nearer to the ass-end-of-nowhere than the milking parlour, but no matter, I'll simply follow the trail of John's blood, sweat and tears. Danny - I'm holding it to ransom until a front 404 lands on my desk... Maybe I got my relative values a bit out of whack there...? Ok sod it, I'll send it over! Andy - you can certainly get em, but for yours, dunno. Why not call Sip and get a definite yay/nay. Well done to all winners! Al. P.S. Now one of you reply to my bloomin welder-servicing post...

Astro_Al Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 You mean you FINISHED those hugemongous packs i brought up last time??? Y'know - the only ones the garage had, with AT LEAST 7 biscuits per packet where the wrapper weighed more than the contents... Anyway, I'm physically incapable of buying fags (blame Pavlov, my paranoid mother, a broomstick and my youth) but I will try to find something smelly to stuff in my bag. With all these security scares at airports, I'll have to go to one of those posh cheese shops though - the ones where they give you a quarantine license with every stinky wedge. No problem Mark - I got your PM, I'm off to clean myself up. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
