Well now, before the training video I know you can't wait to watch...
A swap I was hoping would happen in October will now happen in January, all being well. It could still be done in October, but it will be worth the wait to do it properly rather than rush it, I am told. So we'll wait.
But despite that little hiccup...
I believe there will be a lot of swapping activity over the coming weeks anyway.
In a few days I'll be mailing the whistle off to a far away land... called America I think. So it will be officially on loan until we swap in person, which might never happen. So we might end up doing a postal swap, which would be an exception I'm willing to make on this occasion, if that's the way it goes.
And aside from all that I believe we are looking at probably three swaps over the next few weeks...
Now I don't think this custom built European-style mid-engine supercar has quite the level of workmanship as a Rolls Royce or a Bentley, but still... it was a good effort!...

Course I Can!
So the well respected Leigh Reporter is another local weekly in England, and here's their page 5 story this week...
Also... Trade 12 will not be happening this weekend after all, so probably we can do it in two weeks time - watch this space.

Don't Blink
I just accepted an offer for the following items: T8_2, T9_4 and A1.
I'm sure it is a goer alright, but I'm not so sure when we can do the trade... possibly this weekend, we'll see. This one's another in Ireland.
And... another local newspaper called me this morning, story coming soon I'm told, probably this week...

So I know where the whistle is going now. Probably. To a far away land... very far... more on that in a few days I hope.
All sorts of other trades brewing too.
Yep, we could be in for a hectic Trade Fest any time soon, who knows, such is life...

Radio Blah Blah
So I did a radio type of interview last night!
It's never going to actually grace the airwaves, so it wasn't a radio interview.
But it was just like a radio interview!
I imagine.
This journalism student called Matt had contacted me. He had seen the Lancashire Evening Post story and decided trading nothing was a good subject for his project. So he asked me if I would mind being interviewed, and even offered to buy me a drink!
Yes, of course I was big time disappointed he didn't offer to buy me a meal too - students today, eh?!!
But anyway, I agreed. And Matt made his way from downtown Manchester to my local train station in, erm, rural Cheshire. And I answered his seven carefully prepared questions, to his satisfaction I hope, before he legged it for a train he had promised his girlfriend he would be on...
Here is me when I was a student, clapping my hands on the old Wembley Stadium's turf. I wonder if you can spot me!! I know I can't, but I remember my timing was spot on, so there's a clue...
