So what have I been up to?
Well, Went to a friends wedding in May. Oop North, well, the Midlands, Which to us down here, is almost Scotland. I wasn't best man, but as we've been friends for a quarter of a century, I was asked to do a speech. Great, except it wasn't. I had it all planned out in my head, but the room was so hot, it made me feel quite ill, which made me forget the majority of what I was to say. I got the first bit, then forgot the rest and ended up talking a right load of codswallop, and that's when I thought I would shut my face and sit back down. I think the bride hates me.
Been DIY-ing
I sold my Off Road motorbike. I found out early in the year I have osteoarthritis in my right foot. This made starting the bike quite difficult as it was a kickstart only machine. On the lookout for another with electric start.
Still RC racing and still driving for those top chaps at Answer RC. Mixed bag of results lately.
Organised a Vintage RC meet at TORCH back in August. Actual meeting went well, and we had a damn good day. Only disappointment was the attendance. Turns out a lot of racers are all mouth and no trousers.
Been DIY-ing, still.
Got a letter from the council. Turns out my elderly neighbours don't like me playing music too loud. Knock on my door first and ask me turn it down? don't be silly. So I've had to tiptoe around that bastard for a couple of months so far till the fuss dies down. I'm gonna mount speakers brackets on acoustic board and change walls, just to keep the peace, if you pardon the pun.
Work sucks. Feeling unappreciated. Mine is a trade that requires years of knowledge, without it, parts look shit or end up wrong. Those in charge think we're all just button nuggets, but whenever there's a prototype to be made, muggins here ends up doing it with not a single "well done" at the end.
Still DIY-ing.
Lei and I went to Torture Garden back in August, or July. I put pics up on my Instagram, lost 5 followers overnight. HA.
That is all.
Watch out for my new book out soon, and I'm doing a documentary for Discovery Channel about transdimensional gateways and stargates which is out next year. I'll also be on the Graham Norton Show bangin on about my book and talking shit, that will be just before christmas.
tatty bye
