The Box

[interurban]

Hi Bob , rudy is a polite way of expressing our feelings we could be realy bad lads and say it as it is "Bloody great big thing"

Errol will know all the slang words

ie, miffed could be pissed.

But I DID`NT SAY THAT

 

[Bob Collins]

Good for you Chris. Two smily faces for you too

I was pulling your leg. Having served with the Aussies in Vietnam I pretty well know much of the slang that to me would seem to be of Brit origin. Several trips to the UK and one to South Africa reinforce my exposure too!!

Love the pix. Great work

Bob

Hi Bob
I thought something was being pulled glad it was only me leg.

 

[interurban]

What in the world do you suppose is in the crate that the sweet young thing in the red blouse is waving at so hard. And with the cop car there who ever is in it must be just one step ahead of the law. I vote for Errol and his embalming fluid. They like that stuff in Canada, you know

It`s been my experience, sweet young things in red blouses always wave goodbye to me

Or it`s a secret shipment to Ontario

By jove I think your right Bob

Happy Birthday......

Happy Birthday to "The Box"
I went back to the beganning of the thread to catch up and get a few good laughs(I've been sick last couple of weeks) when I noticed that the "Box" was a year old as of yesterday(Jan 18, 2002)!!!!
Unpack the embalming fluids....Lets celebrate!

 

[Tyson Rayles]

Hope you are feeling better 88!

 

[eightyeightfan1]

[sumpter250]

this is "loco"

I saw these in a post by Jon in the logging line, and on closer inspection realized, IT'S "THE BOX....cabs"

 

[Bob Collins]

Those look like rather interesting pieces of equipment. Bet Shamus would love to have those logs

Bob

 

[jon-monon]

Hey Pete! Thems ain't offical the gauge boxcabs! You just ran up and hit 'em with a rattle can! Anywho, glad ya didn't get caught, I hear they cane people for that.

 

[Bob Collins]

Jon;

Like your new avatar better as it is a better likeness, but I still think you need to increase your valium dosage to about double

Bob

 

[jon-monon]

Bob, if I double up onthe vallium, my purdy smile droops

 

[Bob Collins]

Oh, I see, purdy smile

Okay, but it might be replaced by a genuine s--tty grin, sort of in keeping with someone who is well connected with a certain person, who will remain un-named but lives in the highlands of a country noted for people who paint themselves blue, who keeps you supplied with plenty of embalming fluid

Bob

trouble on the MF&W

Ok, when we showed up this morning, we found vandles have moved the box from the back of the snow plow - to the bridge... so we filled the plow with coal (see plow post) and now we have to move the crane over to get the crate down again..
