Fred has arrived however.....

Rincewind · 8th May 2008, 18:10

... he won't be going to India at all - neither will I!!!!!

Due to a monumental firkin up by those that I'm going to see, the programme I was going out there to see and test ahs been delayed a bit.............. end of September now so I'm VERY annoyed and frustrated that people have gone to a lot of effort to get Fred to me and I've been dumped on from a great height.

Found out at 4pm this afternoon so rode home on my trusty VFR not in a good mood at all.

So, who would like Fred now??? I'll make sure that he arrives asap at the next person just PM me with your address or respond to this thread.

Really sorry to let you down guys and Fred for that matter, but there's nowt I can do unfortunately, I'm at the mercy of the manufacturer on this one!

Glad to hear he arrived ok. I don't think Fred will really mind, especially as he may be going to Mexico in November. He did have a great time in the Grand Design French manor house at the weekend.
Here he is settling in to the Hummingbird suite

Testing out the copper bath

Outside the house

And a photo with Doug and Denni, who restored the house

Fred can thoroughly recommend this place if you want to get away from it all.

That's a shame Nic that Fred wont be going to India at the moment - perhaps he might join you again later this year before off to Mexico in November.

Fred can still enjoy a few weeks with yourself before he need travel again though so make the most of Fred and show him a good time whilst he in your company

Steve - Looks like Fred had a splendid time in France. Bet he loved the French house to bits with all that antique furniture and that huge bed to bounce about on (as bears like to do).

Fair enough, I'll let him have some fun here then. I may even let him try 2 wheels for a change too! In fact I may take him out on a ride this weekend!

If all goes to plan (and it better) I'm orf to India at the end of September so if he doesn't mind coming back here I'll take him then - plus when I go it will be one of the festivals out there (Ganesh) so he may even get treated to some fun by the locals!

Did you watch the episode on this house? Huge amount of work to restore it - those two worked like loonies. Good on 'em.

Can any one tell me if Fred has made out to the Middle East yet, I have been out of touch for the past few months settling in over in Sunny Dubai with the new job, have finally got internet connection and so am back on line and reading the posts.

I need to get my camera going a bit to as I have never seen so manay
R75's , I never thought I would see any over here but they are very popular.

I am visiting the UK on w/e of the 23rd for a week then I go back to Dubai till December. If Fred would like a trip and it can be arranged to meet some place in the UK during that week then I would like to give him a bit of fun in the sun.

Cheers,
Andy
