Big problem with camper - sad news, help!

Telly tonight - The Likely Lads

Seeing as you're all being nice to me I thought I'd return the favour and let you know that hidden away on BBC 4 at 8 o'clock tonight they're starting the first series of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LIKELY LADS (classic 70s series). Don't think its been shown on any digital channel before because James Bolam has resisted allowing it before.
Enjoy, LOL etc! :lol-049:
 
Hi Neil and Marie,sorry to hear about your ride but great news that you've found someone who can help ressurect it,he sounds like a lovely guy,wish there were more like him. Our's is due on June 10th but I always take it a month early just in case of any nasty surprises. Anyhow,hope it all goes well and that you're able to get to the Green Dragon in her,all the best.
 
I've been out tonight, back in now....

You guys are so great! I've come all over warm and fuzzy :eek: :)

Seriously, put your money back in your socks pronto! (I hope that's where you're all stashing it, cos there's some dodgy bankers on the prowl ;) )
Thank you lovely peeps for your very kind and generous offers of financial assistance, it's restored my faith in humanity :angel: :heart:

Your humbled servant,

M Mongoose :bow:

I forgot to mention the 2,000% APR Marie. :eek:
 
Well I don't want to be a tell-tale Marie, but I'm sure it was your Autosleeper that parked next to me this afternoon in Llanberis!! :drive:

The young couple seemed to be enjoying themselves, and their six kids and four dogs in the back seemed to be having a very jolly old time in there! :wacko::dog::hammer::dog::scared:

Apparently they'd hired it very cheaply from a lovely chap in Doncaster! Not sure where they were heading from there, but they did say something about trying some off-roading!! :):):)
 
:lol-049::lol-049: bet there was steam coming from maries ears just before her head hit the ceiling.......:mad1:
 
Don't think so - with all them kids & dogs on board it'd look like something out of the Flintstones.
 
Tho, did wonder why he was on the phone speaking Welsh as soon as we were on our way...

Nah, can't be - MORGANTHEB:scared:ST:scared:RD hiring our van???

(Sniffing around for 'Fragrance du Marie', no doubt :tongue:, & kidnapping kids & dogs - sure you didn't see any sheep in there, scampa?)

Nothing worse than rusty bolts and removing other bits of crap from vehicles - even I with my limited experience in such matters know that. Thanks for you efforts & sleep well.

true dedication, missing a weekend away.
 
Good news about progress on camper. It looks as though all work underneath has been successfully carried out AND our boy wonder found one or two other things that needed doing while he was down there.
Looking good. :(:):rolleyes::D

Great News

Hey Neil that is great news for you and Marie about the van getting sorted. I would also like to say well done that man old Arthur because that sure looked a real test for anyones skills sorting that very bad decay on the chassis out. So should hope to see you out and about soon. Also hope to meet old Arthur as well :rockroll:
.... Tom ....
 
Hi Marie and Neil, Im so sorry to read of all the troubles you've been having with your van, however, I'm so happy that Old Arthur is your knight in shining armour and putting the old girl back on the road.
This is what makes this site such a great place. Well done Arthur and everyone who offered help.
 
Perhaps your patron Saint should now be Old arthur rather than St George. I'm glad it sounds as though you'll both be back on the road soon.
 
Saint Arthur! :lol-061:

I vote we nominate a St Arthur's day - not the Camelot one, the Doncaster one :lol-053:

I reckon he needs a medal the size of a dustbin lid :)

Bet he didn't feel saintly doing the work!
I reckon there's been some swear words flying to make old Lucifer cringe ;) :lol-053:
 
:scared: I think Niel has jumped the gun a bit!! I said I had now completed the worst of it:hammer: there is still plenty left before test time I'm sorry to say, But it will be ready for the bank holiday ?? August one :lol-053:

P.s. I thought yorky s were good at the art of bodgin but boy have the previous N/E boys opened my eyes
