Holy resurrection Stanley! How are you?

Have you just come back to post as you've realised that several years absence means that someone else may catch up your post count? wink


Up yours Photobucket.

Just posting in Barnacle's thread while I remember. I drove through the village of Barnacle nr Coventry 2 weeks ago. Another one off the bucket list... AND I was in the coupé. Somehow I thought something spiritual or supernatural might happen. But then I realised that those yellow pointy things don't fit on the coupes recessed wheel nuts.....rolleyes

Good grief Stan indeed. As everyone else has asked how are you? When I came on here years ago you came across as I'd known you all my life. Obviously there is a story here, but are we allowed to know.

Hope things are all good with you... smile


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

I've not only driven through it - see the rather insulting boundary sign in my sig pic - but stayed overnight at a rather nice B&B (once we found it - it was well hidden!)

Hi folks bye

Wow! Hijacking one of Neil's threads feels *soooo* good! laugh

Thanks for the welcomes, I really do appreciate them.

Yes, there is a story to my somewhat enforced absence, and as you say, it may be worth sharing some of it, but in a thread of my own obviously.

Sorry Mr Barnacle, for the hijack, I shall now reverse out.....ouch! Just hit that flippin' dustbin again! cry

See you all in another thread, in another place, at another time, in another dress....er, hang on, wrong forum! blush

I recall when came2dance finished his posts with random numbers which hovered around the 20-mark then reduced little by little...this number was the difference between his post-count and the next highest poster, the aim being to overtake that person and knock him off the top poster list laugh


I'm trying to imagine the following the imminent conversation between Barnacle and Stan, as the topic changes too fast for Anita hehe


Team Anita and Mrs Stan = a match for any forum fossils laugh

Blimey Dave, that's going back some time there, probably about 16 years ago hehe Guess I had the advantage of being in Thailand at the time and a 7hr time difference allowed me to pull that stunt off

I think we all know what Stan's been up to for the last few years, i guess he thought since Fiat stopped making coops there was no point in staying in the EU.

This is what happened at Stan's house as soon as Neil's post count started getting close to his.
