What you should know about me!

I don’t know about that but take a look at this (if the link works):

Paternoster Lift

Ian

Not seen one of those for about 50yrs, I thought Health & Safety had probably done away with them. Very efficient if you FIT or used to it.

In the early 70's I toured Australia for 3 months, as 'Roustabout' (Arena Chargehand) with Jose Canga and his French Car Stunt Team (look up Jose Canga Stuntman) sponsored by Holden, Uniroyal, Lions Club and Holiday Inn etc.

(How's this for stupid rules, because most of the drivers were French, we had to have big 6cylinder LHD Holden Torana's for the Precision/two wheel driving BUT Australia did not allow LHD cars UNLESS they were imports and tax paid on them. We had to export ALL six cars to Reunion, then a small French island, and THEN import them back again next day! Thank goodness Holden were paying.)

I daren't return to Portugal, I am a wanted man there and will be arrested.

Just to clarify: I received a notification of a fine (88 Euros) for not paying a Toll fee there in 2018. Long Story.
I tried to pay it but with this being Portugal it was easier said than done and had to come home without paying the fine.
I guess they have my moho registration in their system now so should I return, I expect to be surrounded by armed police at midnight somewhere near Lisbon.

I once drove a Paul Emery race prepared Hillman Imp round Mallory Park..

What is 88 euro's at 20% compound interest AND fines I wonder? Must cover Portugal's National Debt by now I would not bother going back!

Sell your van to someone else.What a surprise they will get. It will be interesting how they get out of the fine.

Sounds like a Viz top tip

As a teen, I was once solo in a sailing dinghy, and tried to whack a crocodile with a paddle to scare it away. It worked.

Oooh! I have an ice cream related one! I was in the farm kitchen the day that the first bowl of Snugbury's ice cream was made!!

I was the 'boy' on a Tonibell van in North London in my early teens. Max Bygraves's son Anthony came out to the van - we could see the two Bentleys on the drive- and he asked for a six penny lolly, our most expensive item. Max rushed down the driveway and snatched it from the boy's hand shouting "He'll have a tuppeny lolly like everybody else!"

IF only we had that sort of celebrity today, TODAY they would either send the minder or expect to get it for nothing!

"When it's Spring again, I'll bring again, Tulips from Amsterdam.........." OR

"Your a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush, have we met somewhere before........"

They don't write them like that anymore

I have worked on a lot of gas installations at Lasham airfield, it's not connected is it?

Glider - the only one up at the time and with snow on the ground . . . .

 

[Pappy]

My wife is far more interesting than me.

As a nurse reservist, in the RAF Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, she did two tours of Afghanistan and a tour of Sierra Leone (during the Ebola crisis).

She did a presentation on Leadership, from a Sergeants point of view, at a senior RAF Leadership Conference including the Chief of Air Staff and John Adair (a well known leadership author).

"Close"......

Just that my old man used to rub shoulders with that crowd..... Bygraves... Secombe... Vic Abbot...Sellers... Ken Conner who is/was my Sisters God Father.. All lived in that area...

 

[Shrimp]

I lived in SA for a few years and spent a bit of time living in the Bush, driving a Gypsy Jeep, trying to avoid Scorpions, going to sleep to the sound of Lions roaring and swimming in an African river-not a clever thing to do!
But I survived.

 

[CutThroatJake]

Ken Connor and I once had a great session in a Stanmore Club bar. He was miffed to tell me that the Carry On crew never received a penny in royalties from all the repeats as they were on a 'Day Rate' when the films were made!
A certain Max Hastings was tired and emotional outside and the barman wouldn't let him in!

I suffer from Cenosillicaphobia.

Many people I know also have this condition, and we have formed a support group which meets several times each week to develop coping strategies.

As a fellow sufferer I feel for you.
