Today I'm happy about......

Call that a hill Spotty ? I call hills like that bumps.

Either way, you still won't find me in one of those cable cars.

Blithering crin.

^ I drive under that virtually every day. I always leave a bit of a gap to the car in front and then accelerate through if the cable cars are moving, just in case one of them drops off.

Reminds me of a game we used to play as kids when crossing over motorway bridges. We'd look down and imagine we were on the motorway and try to cross the bridge 'without getting run over'. Waiting and then running as fast as we could if the carriageway was clear.

You did that on a bridge ?!?!?

We did it on the M61 ... albeit in less congested times than today.

Yep, we did it over a bridge on the first ever motorway in Britain, which was necessary for a reason and as far as I can remember has never been short of traffic.
I bet you had a real job outrunning those Austin A5s, Morris Minors and the like.

Horses and carts don't travel so fast so hardly hugely daring

No bother, it was those bxstard Norton Dominators that screwed it up.

We used to do something similar on the train footbridge that ran between Walker's Tannery and the side of the Rose Hill Tavern. We used to run on the spot along the top of the carriages and then jump over the gaps.

Nice try, Tango, but they didn't have an M61 when you were a kid (me neither)

Trains are a whole new ball game. They used to scare the life out of me. Never used to mess with trains.

Having said that, we used to put pennies on the track and wait for them to be flattened. But who hasn't

Oh and throwing stones up at the electric cables, to see if we could hit them and hear a Star Wars 'pechow' noise like you get from a laser gun.

Back in my day we had real pennies and could get a pretty large flat disk.

Do you think that Always hopeful and his pals used counterfeit pennies then? How've you drawn that conclusion?

Er, no. But today's penny (p) is considerably smaller than the old penny (d) of my youth so there was much more mass to flatten out.

...which made them more real!

Indeed, they were worth a penny and you could buy things with them! Real money to me.

aye - you could buy a bag of chips, two pints of beer, a greyhound and a flat cap and still have change out of a penny, lad!

No that would cost at least a groat.

Today I am overly excited and happy about my haircut, just booked in with John for 11.45 tomorrow. Am guessing this might be a girlie thing and blokes don't get so excited about haircuts but then you don't usually get a cup of tea and a soothing hairwash/pamper with it. My hair hasn't been cut in months and months and its ridiculously long so well in need. Tomorrows a bit of a tough day for me so will be nice to have something to look forward to. Plus I timed it cleverly so Mr GG will have to sort the twins lunch out.
