trisonic Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think that driver has moved over here BTW the best place I've ever come across for parallel parking is Paris but the key idea there is to park in a space which is too short - you then lengthen it a bit by pushing against the adjacent vehicles; very interesting to watch. The New York Way, Mike. Though it worked a lot better when all the cars had those (fixed) chrome bumpers. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about 1960 Dad was commisioning a ship for BP at Dunkirk shipyard, went into town with the shipyard head for lunch in the heads brand spanking new DS, dad was rather impressed by it. After lunch they get to the car and it's wedged in, dad offers to see the head out of the tight space "no need to" comes the reply, and as Dad gets into the passenger seat the head says "I drive by ear" Bang...bang..bang....bang.........

bluebottle Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 This year's Rugby League Challenge Cup Final officials were sponsored by Specsavers... But, they never seems to miss anything and have the utmost respect from the players. When I was on the terraces at Millmoor many seasons ago, we spectators always showed the utmost respect for and sympathy with the referee. If he had difficulty in keeping up with the game, we would ask politely whether it was his guide dog's day off, or, should he be struggling to control a recalcitrant centre-forward, suggest that he " 'it 'im wi' thi white stick, ref." But, I'm sure that present-day fans also show decorum and goodwill to all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Was pointed to Facebook by my daughter to this "Excited Train Guy, New York!" video. Our stereotype? But it made me smile. This was a very successful viral marketing ploy for the Saratoga and North Creek preserved railway. It was an intentional spoof. It's still on the front page of their website. The video got picked up by multiple national news outlets - so it resulted in tons of free publicity for the railway.

peter220950 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'll apologise for this one in advance, I have a particularly dark sense of humour............................. It was a friends funeral today and I just wanted to check on arrangements for parking etc. on a day of sadness I had to have a little smile thanks to Google, they might not pay any tax, but I will let them off today for the two pages that came up in the search:- Firstly to be asked if I was feeling lucky Then the thought of why no-one had reviewed the place yet! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Having been a teacher I'm very aware of bad grammar" might not know the difference between grammar and spelling. Perhaps they weren't teaching English.
