The Iron Heart Forum Triangle of Terror Type III Trucker Tour 2018 - Updates thread
-
It’s cold and i’m at work (as usual)
-
I promise better stuff this weekend, but for now more of the same….
-
Tonight i’m heading out into Mansfield to get drunk with the “football dads”, I will take pictures, I might wear the jacket and it will be an eye opener for those of you beer snobs and hipsters who consider beer a ritual. This will be an exercise is beer as a tool to get smashed, rather than beer as an extension of a curated lifestyle.
In the meantime, we went to get the front tyres changed on the car so we don’t die.
Jordan’s and 777-OD
What the car would look like if it was in Back To The Future.

And obviously as it is Saturday, my tips for today’s matches
-
Wearing the jacket
-
Cheers dude, for the match I think both teams to score is the only safe bet.

I was promised drunken chav photos. Where are the drunken chav photos?
-
Later….....after recovery
-
Lessons to learn…..
-
I’m out of practice when it comes to serious drinking, but I never seem to remember that.
-
When out of practice I should not drink 10 pints, a double brandy, a double whiskey and some god awful cocktail in the space of four and a half hours.
-
When you’re that drunk you will eat ANYTHING, so a 15” pizza, two fried chicken pieces and fries seems perfectly reasonable.
-
If you see people from work when you’re that drunk DO NOT APPROACH THEM!!!
Anyway, I was too drunk to take many photos of any interest, but here’s what I got....

-
Apologies for the lack of updates, it’s been too damn cold to be hanging out in a trucker jacket that my ample frame won’t allow me to button up
Anyway, brief updates from the theatre (watching the Monty Python play Spamalot), and back in my old favourite spot.
Casa del Smith in the dark…
A rainbow over the dung heap of Mansfield….

Well, it’s been a mother thrilling few days of going to work and walking the dog, hands up who’s jealous of my rock n roll lifestyle?
The wife has been in hospital for a few days too, so not many photo ops there, but I am going out in Nottingham to get gloriously smashed this Saturday, so I’ll see the jacket off we’ll and pass it on to somebody more interesting.
@neph93 , could you let me know who gets this magnificent garment next please?

@Megatron1505 Wear it like a shirt under a jacket you dope [emoji1]
Personally I have thoroughly enjoyed my virtual visit to Mansfield from the comfort of my desk chair about 2000km away. Thank you, sir!
A certain Mr. @Alex Padmore of Portsmouth, United Kingdom is next up. Who dat?! [emoji848]

@DK - US - July 2019In case Americans, Brits or Germans wish to organise meet ups/in person handovers, I'm perfectly fine with small changes to the schedule within your respective countries but I ask that you do the following: Organise it amongst yourselves via PM and then let me know the plan. As long as I can see that it works out I'll make the changes here.
