'Acid fanjo'

This thread on mumsnet is the best thing since the Korean landlord building the shed! Pure Gold!!!

Oh yeah the "Shed of Doom". A classic. It can be seen from space I hear. http://www.bcsportbikes.com/forum/showthread.php/146566-Build-to-Fail-Fail-to-Build.-What-is-this-I-don-t-even.....

FTW

Twiddling thumbs. We're both just looking forward to get the deed done tomorrow and a good piss-up afterwards.

Happy for you both.

Have I missed some news about nuptials or something?

In other news...big Yay! in the workshop earlier, as with a little guidance from the NSM guys, I split the casings on the GTR engine with no damage. This is scooter geek heaven, as I can get to the engine internals now, a key step in the engine rebuild

Xronia Polla!

pics or it didn't happen

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing you both very soon...

Launch the floral tribute in this direction would you ?

Happy Happy Joy !

Erm, It really is shatting it down and blowing a gale outside.

Bah nasty.

I got caught in it walking back from gym

Did the droplets of wind blown precipitation cascade along the profile of your impressive forearms as the eddies chased you homeward ?

Just me then.

I got feckin soaked if that's what you mean !

....and soon as I got home, the rain stopped.... typical

It happened! jimc and Ivana Tinkle are now joined at the hip. Pic below.

Very quick but moving ceremony. I was rather touched by it - misty-eyed and all that. Just as it should be.

I congratulated my new MIL for nurturing one of the most 'difficult and different' (originally MIL's words) women imaginable, and I have to say I'm so very pleased finally to be married to her.

Excellent pub lunch followed - we're now back home in our sweats looking at the beer supply for the rest of the afternoon and evening and realising we'll have to weave up the road to get some more.

If anyone should take the blame for today's event it should be Al (Aviator47) who organised the 2010 Bella Italia Rally, and the Hornet. Al - you owe me a pint - I owe the Hornet a gallon or two.

Oh Yes Yes Yes ! I'm so happy for you both.

mmmmm looking good.

Major congrats to the pair of you.

Bill X

well done that man - and woman

i recall a rideout some four years ago where jim insisted that he was all done with love and marriage - happy to learn (as i'd suspected at the time) that he was talking through his a*se

Awwwww! Could not be happier for you two. May you have an eternity of happiness together. Cupid Al...your work is finished here. And what good work it was.

You are my rock eh ?

Bill X

Congratulations, you both look so happy!

David and I got married five years ago today. A good day to get hitched, October 11.

Yes, I'd read something similar on the X9 Forum. Eat those words, Jim, and wash them down with a couple more beers Congratulations, both of you!

Congratulations!

Wow. . . big great news!! Congratulations. Wonderful.

Wishing you two the very best.

Mazel Tov!!!!

Congratulations to both of you! I remember seeing Jim in Abilene with Irvana and both looked very happy. Nothing at all in common with the grumpy old git from years before on MV!

All the best!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

I spotted this at our newly opened Bella Italia tonight

Thank heaven someone finally noticed. My son said this to me last July when we met Bill.

Congratulations!!!

You both look very happy together.

Best wishes.

Oh, cool!

Felicitations to the happy couple! See you in November!

Congratulations!

+1 - I've seen 'Vespa-Airfix' on a t shirt, but 1:1 scale is much better!

Big congrats to Jim and Kirsten

It's a really cool feature partition wall I reckon. 8)

Another picture from Bella Italia

Lovely, just lovely. Michael and I are very happy for you both!

I had a lucky find in a charity shop today: a scooter-shaped egg cup! It will go with the salt and pepper shakers I got from Secret Santa

Today we visited a vintage boot fair and classic car show on the South Bank at the suggestion of my friend Chris who was exhibiting is Rolls Royce Silver Ghost.
Chris is a bit of a dandy so both he and his new girlfriend dressed in period costumes as did many of the exhibitors. What a pair of tarts.
At least 30 vintage Vespas and Lambrettas turned up as well as an Innocenti Mini, a Morris Minor Police car and 3 Messerschmits.
Chris also has a purple Camargue which is fresh out of Thunderbirds and it's just huge but sadly that had to stay at home.
Pictures will follow at a later date.
Genie tried on clothes.

Birreh.

Mazal tov to the happy couple! Wishing you a full and happy life together.

i think whoever put that together got his/her info from ebay the last one isnt a vespa from what i can see .... n if the ages relate to the scooters then the px is well off

yep, complete fuck-up with some Chinese Zneng-clone in there
