It's gonna be far more than half grasshopper

Perhaps the honeymoon could be on 323 although how the marriage would be consummated is anyone's guess

Travelling back from the wedding on the Cally Sleeper, with Ivo wearing his firstgroup woolly hat!!!

 

[Ivo]

I don't have a First Group woolly hat!!!!!

And I don't like 323s either.

 

[junglejames]

Nor was Mrs Robinson. (BTW, did we ever find out her first name? I can't imagine an affair with someone when you don't know that) Still, if I had to guess, not even half 60 for quite a while.

I'll send you a rose from my garden if we get any this year.

Oh you little sly dog. Trying to get in on Ivos patch! Youve got a fight on your hands though. Ivos already thinking about the honeymoon!!

One can admire from afar, but occasionally one has to leave it at that. Last time nearly resulted in me under the wheels of 43145. And yes, I did get the number.

How did I bring this upon myself?!

By flirting

I don't have a First Group woolly hat!!!!!

Yeah yeah, that's what they all say.

Yeah yeah, that's what they all say.

Well if he is telling the truth, at least we know what to get him as a wedding present!! Just dont get Miss Kernow an Arriva one!

 

[Ivo]

Good idea; one would not be amused!

I promise that I do not have a FirstGroup woolly hat! And even if I did, it would be a normal hat and not a woolly one!

Me thinks that wasnt just admiring. That was full on flirting!

Eh, they do say to keep clear of the platform edge. Perhaps they should add on to that- "Especially when admiring the leggy blond on platform 1"!!!

 

[LE Greys]

Well, my laptop battery's about to go flat. Have fun! Goodnight!

Well we shall get you this firstgroup woolly hat for the wedding then. Just promise to wear it when heading back on the Cally Sleeper!!

Night

 

[Ivo]

Thank you?

If you insist on getting me something with First Group on it, make it a tie

 

[90019]

A woolly tie?

 

[Ivo]

Can I have it today (i.e. for my birthday)?

We're all geared up for a potential conclusion to this highly amusing scenario, right on my birthday...

 

[90019]

Can I have it today (i.e. for my birthday)?

Of course not, it's a wedding present!


Happy birthday old man

 

[Ivo]

Just you wait 'til Tuesday...!

 

[90019]

Just you wait 'til Tuesday...!

Oh yeah?
What you gonna do, grandad?

 

[Ivo]

20 is more of a milestone than 22! The last week of being a teenager... Is it a good thing, or a bad thing? You decide

I'm going to get done for hyper-posting at this rate.

Well, my car insurance goes down, and I'll hopefully have bought me a new motor (second hand, obviously ), so I think good

 

[Ivo]

Dang

Is it a new car, or an old Ka?

 

[90019]

Is it a new car, or an old Ka?

The Ka is being sold, looking for something to replace it.
Looking at an X reg Golf with 53000 miles on the clock for £2k atm. It's a poverty spec 1.4, but I don't care, it's a Golf.

 

[Ivo]

Good call; I think I've only ever been in a Golf once, but it felt great! Mind you, one of the girls I was with (who was both German and about 10 years old) started singing "We all live in a Silver Golf Car"...

Sounds like quite a good deal, and X-reg is newer than almost every Arriva bus in Southend!

 

[90019]

Seems to be newer than a lot of the First buses in Stirling as well

Retrospective edit: 4000th post. Woo!

 

[Ivo]

How has this thread gone from the Mile High Club to buses, via (among others, andnot in any particular order other than that in which I think of them):

• Hot chocolate
• Roses
• 37s
• Postcodes
• RAIL Magazine

And more? And all the while including this "thing" between myself and a lovely lady who considers herself "Yornish", as encouraged by at least five others to varying degrees and varying lengths?

P.S.: You do realise you just wasted your 4,000th post on me, right?

Indeed, so how're the wedding plans coming along?

Yeah, and it wasn't even a very good one!

 

[Ivo]

What wedding plans? :?

...

Oh, those wedding plans! They're coming along very well! We're all geared up for a memorable ceremony in the Main Hall at the NRM, with the reception in the "outside area" (whatever it's called). And we shall be travelling to York courtesy of the Scotsman (or Tornado if not available).

As for the honeymoon, at the moment I'm thinking that the VSOE is a good idea, so I'll be looking into that with a few days' stayover in the canal city. We shall then head down to Rome for a day, again by luxury rail, and on the return possibly stop in the global fashion capital of Milan *just in case* it feels like a good idea for a honeymoon shopping spree, before returning to Venice for the return leg on the VSOE. Next, we'll use the Caley Sleeper up to Inverness, and explore the lines of the remote north, before returning south to England in First Class luxury on a EC HST to York/Doncaster, ready for one last journey to Sheffield...

...on a Pacer.

its good to finish with a bang...and a jolt...and a screech...and a lurch!

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Christ, this thread has become X-rated overnight!

 

[sprinterguy]

Yep, and tomorrows are going to be about organising this wedding!!
You could have it in the lounge car of the Cally sleeper!!
Or travel to the wedding on the sleeper, and have it up Ben Nevis!

Have it up Ben Nevis? Is that what the kids are calling it these days? Dear lord, just where is a lady’s “Ben Nevis” to be found?! hock:

I think it’ll take a very special type of girl to still be with you in the morning if that’s how you finish!

I was referring to the ride quality of the pacer to sheffield :P

It will have to be the Tornado. The scotsman is currently being re-boilered at bury

Dont do it. I had a 55 plate GTI. Had it two months, then got shut. Bone shaker, bad handler and too light on the back end. You went round a corner and almost took off.....and that was at around 20MPH!
