Used to use the battery for lamping and if it was flat on my return there was always the hand start..very useful. I also "chauffeured" a friend of ours to her wedding in it... f***ing thing overheated half way to the venue.. had to pull over and let it cool down... her and her dad sat in the back of this banger and me pretending I knew what I was doing (I'm shit with engines/cars not my thing)... got her there, fashionably late... lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 3,841 Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 (edited) Couple of years back I saw a newly married couple on the other side of the motorway. Their vintage car had broken down. It was winter. She was absolutely drenched, still in her wedding dress. Hope she saw the funny side. Edited June 30 by jukel123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 3,841 Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 When my generation left school we were reminded that returning to the school grounds was trespassing and the police would be informed. Seriously! No pretend love in those days. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Several teachers were supposed to get hammered. Unfortunately a lot of the lads didn't turn up so we were short on numbers and we chickened out. We did manage a roar and a few expletives at the final bell. and one lad set No fond memories of the crack of leather upon willow I'm afraid. We were all glad to see the backs of each other. I can only think of one teacher I rated, my English teacher. The rest were orrible, charisma free sadists. Edited June 30 by jukel123 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
