Get away ? Stobart's ?

In my younger day, I have beeped the horn and power saluted many a Stobart's truck.

You weren't one of those Stobart spotters were you.... sitting in their depot, taking pictures and recording truck names

Life begins lots of times. We constantly change what we want and how we try to get it.

I'm a different person now than I was when I was 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 or 25 or 30. Different reasons at different milestones bring on changes.

The biggest change for me is doing what I want to do, to be happy, rather than doing what received wisdom says makes you happy.

Thanks for the replys, thought & sentiment....

Yes, Eddie Stobart. - I'm a "Tramper".....

I have recieved, today, presents wrapped in Stobart wrapping paper (!) - and this is my Birthday cake, for my family do tomorrow.

My family don't seem to appreciate the difference between an employee & a fan / spotter....

I'm chuffed with the cake though....

Tonight, case of Cafferys, and a few bottles of Leffe.... Battlefield 2 and my mates.... (No change from the usual

)

The GF can wait until tomorrow!

When you cant pass the medical.

Based on some lorry drivers I have seen I assume it isn't exactly thorough?

You're on the decline son, 40 is no spring chicken. Get your policies in order and dust off that life insurance!

Begbie · 15 Jan 2011 at 18:17

I really don't want to get any older!

Happy Birthday. 40 is considered young nowadays, I am 37 and letter from my surgeon described me as a young fit man!! I was chuffed but when you look at it we are young in today's life. Enjoy it, I know I have enjoyed my mid 30's more than my twenties!!
