Modern Commer Replacement

[jpchenet]

Here's one not-so-modern Commer, been put out to pasture in the Antiguan sunshine. Worse ways of ending your days I guess. I remember when this old sod was still on the road, not that many years ago.

Which old sod???  The Commer or the bloke in front of it???

Fair shout Matt, the picture is a bit bad, but I'm pretty sure that that is actually the Zarse man.

True, tis I although in the pic someone seems to have drawn a set of comedy eyebrows on my face. I'm fairly sure I don't normally look like that. The sunglasses are special ones I bought mail order. They're the new Xray specs that allow you to see through women's (and men's!) clothes, old Commer engine cowlings etc. Looking forward to seeing Amanda Stretton and Milka in June. And you Matt!!!

That's not you! You're having a laugh, surely. It's your Dad, isn't it?
Look at those spindley legs - like knotted string. Come on, Andy - who is the old fart?

[Andy Zarse]

My legs were modelled on Spike Milligans I'll have you know, thin and wirey with knobbley knees. They have baffled the world's finest medical brains.

[Andy Zarse]

The Commer lives.

Rather than waste my day hob nobbing with Herbert and Smith at PQ, I spent the day digging (and I mean digging!) the Commer out of it's winter grief pit. The good news is she runs ok, but there's a terrible fuel leak and I found a Robin nesting in the sink. I don't want to move the Commer til the her brood have fledged and flown the nest. So the unveiling ceremony will have to go on hold for the time being.
