Spaghetti – It’s a long time since I was involved in school-gate dashes, but I know what you mean!!

Why does this vid remind me / inspire me about the post-school-gate dash / war on weekday mornings in suburban South Dublin…..???

[...] He says he has tractors from Grandad for his war. I’ve read enough from Grandad to know he’s sending tour buses that he has riddled with bullets. [...]

Good God! You let your children read my blog?

Tell them I’ll set Tiddles on them if they don’t go up NOW.

My children have been replaying this video for the last 40 minutes and I really need to take them to bed now. You’re SUCH a bad influence!!! x

KirkM – That sounds like a fair deal. Can you trow in a fully armed Cold War submarine too? [Boomer, of course].

Thrifty – Too cumbersome. I don’t want to look like Robocop!

There is a reason not to go the whole hog and get the cybernetic-ally integrated rail gun version attached to your arm?

Grandad,

I’m sure we can swing a purchase although the initial offer is for the team and their equipment alone (rides along in your own rig) but I’m quite amenable to offering up a package deal that can be quite attractive.

Oh, and it’s not a rival offer to BrianF’s since he’s offering up a ammo reloader option for your basement and I’m offering a reload team and equipment for the ride. A combination deal that just can’t be beat anywhere. By the way, my team consists of 2 ex-Cold War Submariners with bad attitudes. Just feed ‘em burgers and really cheap beer and/or liquor and they’ll be loyal as hell. You can even use them to quiet all the building noises going on next door just to keep them busy during the off hours.

Brianf – It looks like you have a rival bid. I am interested in two of this years model. I will take the coal fired model, but am not fussed about the nationality of the stokers. Just pack them in the crates with a 2 litre bottle of water.

KirkM – Your offer sounds very tempting. Can you guarantee a 2008 model? Frankly I’m more interested in purchase than lease, but if the price is good?

Both of you – Could you please forward [in sealed envelopes] full specifications and prices. Bribes are quite acceptable.

@BrianF: Damn! and I just bought last year’s model too!

@Grandad: By the way, I’ll be offering up a full reloading crew that rides along with you with fourteen extra loads of ammo and a special modification for your gun’s setup already to go. They’ll just feed ‘em in as you go.

I haven’t figured out the lease fee yet but I’m sure to offer significant discounts to friends. Would you perhaps be interested in doing some test runs when the time comes?
