Jurby Museum on the Isle of Man have a Safari Transporter. When we were there they had a presidential Safari on the back, but I believe they change the car on the back periodically as a mate saw it recently and it had a Citroën cabriolet of some sort.
I reckon you'll want one of these...

Er, not necessarily….!!
Been pleasantly surprised that the engineer for our boiler service turned up at 8:30 after calling in advance to check it woukd be ok instead of this afternoon as scheduled.
Wrote to the CEO of my last employer bemoaning recent service levels and that the updated banking app is not as user friendly as the previous version.

Night shift last night, went into work and found resourcing had messed up and we were mob handed.
They swapped someone from days to night leaving them short on days and us with too many on nights!!
So worked 1.25 hours and took 11 hrs leave
Working rostered night tonight....
Already have an overtime night Wednesday but now found out resourcing have messed up tomorrow night, so I've got another overtime night..... Kerching...
We don't have a staff shortage, just a resourcing unit that can't count .
You couldn't make it up!!!!!
We're a small section of 23 (with only 3 to 5 on at any one time), I can imagine what's going on with their resource planning for Airfield security with their 500+ staff

We could do,with you down here to look after the gulls…..they are really copping it with Avian flu.
Did seventeen somersaults and a back flip - plaster board delivered ready for builders coming in on Thursday to pit it up.
Has taken me less than a week to achieve what the insurance company failed to do in three months.

We wait with baited breath for the next installment called……
’where the feck are the bloody builders, supposed to have arrived Thursday”
We've got a physco gull in work!
It's nested on top of one of the buildings and has young.
Attacking everything that goes past, aircraft, vehicles, people and even the Peregrines.
Hopefully won’t be a problem…I am playing golf with the main man on Friday…..
Think we will have to wait some time for a plasterer which is a pain as we can’t really get on with the decorating until that’s done.
I think it was RAF Kinloss who used to send a Landie, with a f*ck-off loud PA speaker, up the runway playing Shirley Bassey tunes to clear the gulls out the way before a Nimmie went up.
You could try that.
We've got our vehicles fitted with a device that has speakers on the roof and recordings of various bird distress calls., we can also shout using the microphone
If that fails both barells usually works, but this thing is something else.
Daft as it sounds shouting and flapping arms works with just about every bird species except gulls and pheasant.
Pheasant are stupid, all they do is run along the ground, takes a lot of effort to make them fly.
Gulls just don't give a toss
Well for the pheasants I'd recommend tapes of Jeeves and Wooster. If they think the Hooray Henrys are on the loose then they'll soon Foxtrot Oscar.We've got our vehicles fitted with a device that has speakers on the roof and recordings of various bird distress calls., we can also shout using the microphone

There's only one weapon you can unleash on the gulls though....
I remember watching falcons (I think) being used to keep the runways clear at Lossiemouth
Birds of prey aren't really effective, once they've eaten they snooze for the rest of the day!

Back from the dentist in the last hour after a large filling and even larger bill!
Had something to eat before the injection has worn off as I know I won't want to eat later
This time instead of sleeping though I've got to get ready for a night shift
The dentist did tell me to stop whinging, as it could have been a poorly ankle

Grandkids sports day, Tilly won one of her races, Joe & Gracie won all theirs,
Hoovered the whole house, did some clothes washing and the washing up then stuck some hooks up in the gun room (downstairs bog) and hoovered that bit again which was quite enough for one morning
This afternoon I put my BSA Cadet back together in plenty of time to get a shower etc before going to the small persons school to see her receive the star of the year award for the second time
clever kid, I am very proud
