@wearetherace@TheBishF1@rwilliams1947 A bored @MBrundleF1 “Raikkonen third” Then the voice goes higher, then higher, in pitch: “Is that Glock? IT IS!! That’s Glock!”
I had that moment on my Sky+ for a decade 👌
@TheBishF1 I think that’s one of the first facelifts where they dropped the rear tail lights to make them 6mm longer. I worked at the Castle Bromwich factory during this period and noticed the small changes in the production vehicles. Was also there for the birth of the XF.
My top British school memories:
-Stabbing holes in my rubber with a compass
-“The Apparatus”
-Very yellow custard
-A long wooden pole with a hook to open high windows in the assembly hall
-Give me oil in my lamp keep me burning
-Bringing toys and games in on the last day
-Forgetting to wash my PE kit and it festering in a bag with a wet towel
-Often being covered in mud
-Copying homework on the bus
-Five Alive and Um Bongo
-The “computer room”
-Pepsi Can pencil case
-Smell of TCP
-That one teacher who every now and then would explode with anger and go absolutely crazy, but was mostly very calm otherwise
-Ink everywhere
-Woolworths at lunch
-£5 notes in Walkers crisps
-Conkers
-Wet look gel
-Lynx
-Pogs and Tazos
-Swinging back on chairs (“you’ll fall back and split your head open!”)
-Glue guns and Bunsen burners
-Kickers
-Oxbow Lakes
-Footballs going on the roof
-Wrapping text books in paper
-Jumpers for goalposts
@thebathams@bathamsKA Regular here - going on X & asking the brewery to enforce a non-smoking policy that doesn’t exist instead of asking the superb bar staff for clarity is somewhat shallow. May I suggest that in future you’re more erudite & vigilant in choosing a pub for your family to enjoy?
@fesshole A fly flew into my van in Fakenham and was with me all the way to Kidderminster yesterday - 160 miles and 3 hours. I called him Frank and when he flew out my van when I got home I actually said out loud “bye Frank” and was genuinely disappointed. .
@TheBishF1@Motor_Sport Ah - been waiting for this; my first ever tweet to you many moons ago was clarifying your verbal altercation at a photoshoot with him 👌
@thebowlerhatman Well, what I thought was hayfever has blown into a full cold so I’ve had to stop in all day while watching people walk past my house adorned with shorts, shades and tee-shirts.
@SoVeryBritish I remember my friend’s house when we were 10 and his dad had a “video room” which was basically a VHS player and a tele in a wooden unit with about 20 VHS (all football-related) tapes. It felt like a different planet.
