Elefant Signals Officer reporting in

<Does smart salute>

At ease.

Our brave lads are on their way. Packer may be caught in Germany because
his airport has been closing runways due to to much snow.

This is his steed, ready for the off.

More news as and when.

 

Not I

 

Tsk, standards are slipping in the grammer dept.

 

And speeling....

 

And the spelling dept.

crn will be along in a few hours to point out that you've made a
spelling mistake...

 

Nice attempt at using my *deliberate* intended mispell to deflect from
your own.

 

Sir has missed the underlying humour in the reply me-thinks

 

Loukes, Bonwick, Deasy, Smith and Packer.

I think.

 

Sadly i'm out of this one.

Bulletin from last night:

"Half an hour to check at Harwich and Platy is 30miles away."

 

he made it onto the ferry.

however....Andy's bike has gone bump. same as the French trip. waiting
to be transferred to a Yamaha dealer who should fix it under warranty.

however, due to the weather conditions this may be 2-3 hours. sitting
in a layby all on his todd. probably pretty miserable by now.

And it's already started to go pear-shaped.

Bonwick's Tenere has died: all electrics dead (there seems to be a
Tenere Electrical Curse on the Elefant, doesn't there). Looks like the
same problem as caused it to die on the Alpine Run last yea.

Weather conditions are delaying recovery to a Yamaha dealer, so our
brave Commanding Officer, reported to be very unhappy, is trying to
shelter from the snow.

However, Flying Officer Platy made the boat, as the last vehicle on, I
think, after boarding had closed.

More bulletins to follow.

 

Bwa...no, shouldn't...hah...no really, it's not funny...hah...the poor
sod...hahahahahahahaha!

 

Having spent a few frozen hours with my Tenere last year, in the same
predicament, I can only....

....no, it's too funny.

BWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

I trust you've prepped the Fazer in anticipation.

Oh, FFS. Tell him to buy a nice reliable bike. He could make me an offer
for the Notrun...

 

The bike's showing a regrettable tendency in that direction too.

 

SMS messages from Bonwick, after I suggested he burn it to prevent it
falling into enemy hands, as he advised me last year (I'm enjoying
this!)

"Too fucking right I'll burn the piece of shit."

"I'm fucking freezing to death."

Because his Yamaha's broken.
