Yes I think I should make it to Charmouth with 'Miro'.
I'd Better dust off the Camper Van then, with the posh hospitality unit attachment on the side. Mind you that's nothing compared to Peter Wales' 3,400hp, 28litre, 48valve V12 monster with built in swimming pool and small aircraft landing strip attachment, now that's a camper van!! Peter Wales says that eveytime he takes it out the snow disappears and the sun comes out......that would be the global warming then Peter.....
Bloody Hell, I hope he doesn't read this. (Sorry Peter)
I'm only jealous really, you see it's a power thing...
Like Chopper Jockey, and his grey Van with the rotating roof rack on the top. In his grey van he can control world! Events such as the rise and fall of world leaders, government policy and the redistribution of wealth. You see it is brisling with the latest state of the art electronics hardware, and from it he can monitor things like, the latest missile movements in North Korea, or eavesdrop on George Bushs' private chats with our PM and even hear Mrs. Nora Jones from No.42 calling her cat, Timmy, in for his tea.
Infact Chopper Jockeys van can control just about everything except the weather......Oh God, I hope he and Peter Wales don't know each other!
The other trouble is that, he causes panic in every town he stops in, as people form large queues outside their local Post Offices as they rush in to buy their TV licence. For the benefit of our American cousins, in England we have to buy a licence every year for our TVs, and to make sure that we do there are vans (like Chopper Jockeys) that go around 'detecting' unlicensed sets.......England, a'nt it quaint! :D
Oh on second thoughts I'll leave the camper van at home as I just can't compete...........

Ross, I'm delighted that Miro is on the way back .... are you going to paint the canopy the same way, or looking for other inspiration?

They do that looking for illicit drugs here, I guess they could call it the TV patrol.

Now you folks see why we crossed the pond permanantly.

Yes but that gives us the jolly old Beeb AKA BBC. They produce some excellent programs with NO commercials. Can you imagine watching Tv all day without seeing some idiot prancing around telling to buy cars from him or ads for womens sanitary products while you are eating your dinner. Yech!

I watched a program on the speed channel the other day and it had 6 commercial breaks in a 30 minute show.

This is over and above cost for cable TV? or, is there no such thing?

Commercials give me time to visit other rooms in the house and not miss a thing. :)

Game shows, 'Big Brother' and other crappy faded, jaded celebrity Z listed programs give me pleny of time to go to 'The John' as our trans atlantic cousins lovingly refer to it.
'The John' wonder where that one came from?...................hmm...

Anyway, Sara, yes 'Miro' will be back in his old glory only this time he will be running 160,000 on the turbine...This is because of a new main gear that's approx 40% stronger than the original.
It's 4mm deeper and is made of a better material, although quite what I'm going to do with all, that power, I just don't know........being a non 3D Johnny flyer.
Anyway it should be fun.

Jack, if you have to "go" 6 times in a half hour, you need to see a doctor
