Clubs and Dances, Pubs, were truckers delight

hiya,
Me flirt with tasty ladies Dave I wouldn’t dare I value what’s left of my
life too much, Jennifer “Hawkeye” Gill would kill me, but I do practice
the art when allowed out on my own which I manage on a daily basis,
a pretty middle aged lady at my local newsagents who I make a point
of visiting every day is a recipitent of my chat up lines one of them,
“first name” (keeping her real moniker a secret) I’d give you’re old
fellah’ something to worry about if I was a million years younger that
usually gets me a cuddle for all my trouble. I did once try the old line
where have you been all my life but her reply took the rug from under
me, she replied well I wasn’t born for the first half of it.
thanks harry, long retired.

They all in enjoy a bit of flattery Harry. A harmless bit of fun makes the day go better.
Cheers Dave.

The Wynsford in Cardiff,Wed night.The Coop rooms in Newcastle,Monday night-park on St James park.,Earl de Grey(sp) in Hull–any night!!!In fact any large town/city when trucks could park in the centre,before lorries became the spawn of Satan to be sent off to MSAs;and when you were working sensible hours.If in digs you had to park by 6.00 for evening meal and breakfast was 7.30.15/- night out money in 1967!!!(75p).The difference was that a lot of trucks were carrying own-account goods,transport costs written in to the price of products so transport did not have to make a profit.

IT was known as the parachute club … sure to get a jump :laughing:

Norm’s threads seem to have slipped off the front page :exclamation: :wink:

hiya,
Norm’s most likely parading up and down the Golden Mile doing a bit of
“bird watching” wonder is he getting his bottom squeezed by the young
chambermaid in the hotel, randy little devil.

No Harry, all Norman got was a young lad in his globhoppers who would not sit down, but stood looking out of the tram window, it lurched and he trod on my right foot, it was only felt a little.But next morning four toes was black & blue. After my hectic weekend with my daughter & my leg damage at the snooker club, my luck changed. I put £10ew on Brown Panther at 7/1 it won for Micheal Owen on Thursday, so I put £40 win on the horse thats owned by friends son, it won easy at even money Montiridge is a very good horse.

Sounds as if what wasn’t the best week you have had, turned out to be better at the end Norm.
Cheers Dave.

You have a very good point there Harry. My old man was a betting man, always studying and backing horses. You always heard when he had won, but I never saw the bookies going out of business.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
I think you’re correct Norm you couldn’t put a dent in a rufty tufty lorry driver
with only a twenty five foot drop, he’d bounce and be at work next day.
thanks harry, long retired.

I. Remember a few drivers who sheeted a high load who jumped down, their. Knees must have been knackered in their old age.

Jumping out of the cab didn’t help much either!

Viking:

hiya,
I never saw many drivers getting into climbing out of the “shed” using the steps provided
I certainly never did and have the knackered knees to prove it, too late now.
thanks harry, long retired.

I never jumped down, I always hooked the rope on one side and threw the coil over, then sort the sheets out, then abseil down the side, I was pretty good on the ropes at gym at school. Once thump a bloke who was baiting me in the army, he was a nasty piece of work, he got two of his mates to have a go at me , they took me in the gym, I was up the rope like a monkey, and pulled the end up, they couldn’t get to me. they shouted we will get you, I replied if you do, I will wait to get you one at a time on your own, and your own mother won’t know you, :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: they left me alone after that. :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Yesterday I went to a pub for a birthday meal, my bowling mate was 98 :laughing: years old.

Poor old lad,he get’s beat everytime on the Green and then gets it “rubbed in” again by having to pay for the meal and copious amounts of drink for his “guest” :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :frowning: :wink: Anon 1.

Nah Dennis, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: Tom Smith is very competitive, he curses me when I take his wood off the jack and beat him at domino’s,no wonder you win on the horses, you are so bloody lucky. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: But he still gets his own back sometimes. I am doing my best to get him to his 100!
