There are quite a few plumbers around here as well as bus drivers and a couple of ladies who do the most amazing dances - they are all polish......

I had my prop off for a little man to tweak the pitch; he returned it with an engine-turned effect all over. This shininess shocked me so thought I'd do a proper Propshield job. Onto a tesco basics oven tray and 1hr in a moderate oven. Out with it and daub on the pink stuff with some old keks. Several more daubs as it cooled and a final one when back on shaft.
I now feel I've done my duty whether it works or not.

I've used DBE since last April when the prop was checked out for distortion and professionally cleaned.
We're due to visit the scrubbing grid in the near future so will report on results.













DBE is dizzy barnacle effect.

I've been reading my Irving Welch books. Allow me to translate.

Mr James, my good man, the last chap to say something similar had a few problems. H'apparently someone vomited on him in a fete.

Whilst I'm on the subject, was it you that had sex with that Anne Kirkbride after drinking a large bottle of brandy, watched by your small dog?

Nah, I'm struggling with this one. I'm pretty certain 'Ra Dug' is something to do with egyptology, Ra being the sun God. Was he excavating something?

The sexual act though, I don't think it would have been a Disney film. I don't know Jamesie, but Anne Kirkbride is no looker, so it would have been on after the watershed.

Well, don't know about the last bit, but I thought Sun Ra was pretty cool. See when I grow up, I'd like to play tenor saxophone like John Gilmore......
