The website domain
torque-of-the-north.co.uk was bought so we could document this mad
adventure.
|
|
Input and enthusiasm from
the Manchester chapter - Albert and the North East Chapter - Dan & Adrian
is severly lacking!
|
|
Went to do some work for
a mate and discovered he had an empty garage, a
few days later his girlfriend was showing the estate agent around the house and
discovered someone had parked a Mazda 626 GLX! in the garage the exact same
colour as ours.
|
|
Input from North East
Chapter - zilch, nothing, silence, maybe the t'internet is not working in the
back of beyond (Hexham) after all they have only just got the elektrickery.
|
|
Then there were 3 ! due
to a total lack of enthusiasm and input from the "team" I have resigned.
 |
|
Our team leader Albert
sent an email, an event worth a mention and I quote, "We really need to
decide if we are going to do a theme, either dressing up or changing our
chariot as time is starting to tick"
|
|
IT HAPPENED! the weather
was perfect, thunder clouds were building and the North East chapter of the
team had a scaffold pole rigged to the roof of the house a
woglestone was positioned at the
perfect angle in the garden.
Adrian was hammering away
at the keyboard,
 Dan
keeping watch on the weather, BANG the lightning hit the scaffold pole then
bounced across the garden, ricocheted of the
woglestone into the modem, the valves
were glowing the lights were flashing the t'internet connection was live!
Dan
is telling his Dad to send the message time is running out. Adrian has no clue
which is the send key, he's an accountant"!
 "RETURN
RETURN", shouts Dan, (Adrian knows what one of those is). The enter key is hit,
will the t'internet connection hold long enough? YES, a message is sent from
Hexham.
They get on the tellingbone to Albert Its alive I tell you, the t'internet is
alive and Albert also bangs out an email.
Two emails in one day,
its more than I can cope with!
