Logistical Nightmare!

My good mate Mark Crew, aka 'Mr C', or more commonly known as 'Crewy' recently contacted me to say he enjoyed my blogs but why wasn't he featured anywhere...
Well Crewy, if I informed everyone of what we got up to at TNT, then you'd be in a lot of trouble! Lol.
I'll return to our logistical partnership in a little while.

Firstly, I'd just like to briefly pass comment on a legend and a tyrant who have both recently passed away.
Sir Henry Cooper was a legend and a true gentleman.
He fought back in the day when heavyweights only weighed in around 13st, but were always a credit to boxing. He was a proud Englishman, who told it how it was, and was a very dignified man.
I had the pleasure of meeting him once, ans what struck me was how approachable he was and how friendly he was towards everyone ~ Sir Henry R.I.P.

The tyrant of course refers to Bin Laden.
Now I'm not an expert on politics, war or religion, but I would say the celebrations may be a bit overboard... excuse the pun (that is if he really was buried at sea?).
All I will say is that I think about the famous Chinese saying..."be careful of what you wish for".
No doubt now that he is dead there will be some form of retaliational action, so please be careful.
My good friends in Ireland are shortly going to be receiving visits from the American President and also the Queen, so I just wish that these historic events pass off peacefully.

Now back to Crewy and TNT.
We enjoyed a good craic whenever we could, and made the most of any sweet little victorie's that came our way. Unfortunately, the internal politics and BS that we were regularly confronted with made my position untenable in the end.
But I do still miss three things about TNT:

1. Without meaning to sound like a mercenary, I miss the money (thanks again Lucy).
I was only a glorifed mail-sorter after all, but my wages were unbelievable throughout 2007 and 2008.

2. I miss Lucy herself. After working all night with a bunch of in-bred, ugly, weirdo drivers, it was lovely to see a sweet smile on a pretty face when she arrived in for work in the morning.

3. Finally I miss my mate Crewy...I miss the banter, the McChuckles, the telepathic looks when The Drifters came on the radio, the 'stinger' victims, the industrial language, the aforementioned drivers such as 'Crocodile Dundee', and all of the 'another night in paradise' quips.

So cheers Crewy - please remember two facts which will always be true, and have proved correct over all of these years; if you always tell the truth then they can't have a go at you; and everybody gets their just desserts in the end...just ask Randall ~ Lol.

Take it steady mate.
