OLDACE 196 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 old ace paid a suprize visit to whitehart on thursday night said it took them 15 and a half hours to get across on the ferry from shetland to aberdeen instead of usual 12 hours at the rate this weathers going it going to take him weeks to get back home it will be nearly time for him to be comming back down for rockers reunion begining of august only four months to go. We got back to the Auld Rock OK. The weather here is sunny with a slight frost at night. When we were in Notts I had hoped to visit Wollaton Park, but decided against it because of the ice underfoot. Last Saturday, St James Street near Maid Marion Way was too treacherous for my Mrs with her three wheeled perambulator to make it to the Roe Buck or the Sal, so we were marooned in the Hotel. A 330ml bottle of Tiger Beer was £7.80, so we phoned a friend who brought some cans and we had a drink in our room. We still enjoyed our trip, especially seeing the soon to retire government chief scientist on TV explaining that the cold snap was all to do with man-made climate change. I remain unconvinced. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bazza 71 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Wow get a bigger tank Stan and fill the bugger up at that price..I paid $1.28 per litre last week.Now it's gone up to $1.48 in Wesern Sydney. We get ups and downs every week. Baz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I cannot remember the last time it was below $1-20 here in Melbourne. Crafty bastarreds are advertising petrol prices for ULP on their electronic billboards BUT that price is the discounted price after your 8 cent Coles voucher. As far as ups and downs every week...you are lucky!!! I'm only allowed ups and downs on my birthday and Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fogrider 179 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 One winters day at Dunkirk fire station, I was sent on an errand to Stockhill on the fogrider Triumph Thunderbird sidecar outfit. Snow all cleared off the road, no problem. Out onto the boulevard powering left off the roundabout. The chair came right up, right hand lock to bring it down and head for a pile of cleared snow in the central reservation. Except it was 2" of snow on some re-surfacing rubble. Bang crash. I looked back at the station to see all the lads upstairs watching out of the rec room window. A concrete hydrant post was always on the floor of the sidecar to help keep it on the road. The devils had removed it before I set off , for a laugh ! One of those memories of the City that lasts a long time ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
