Trainee Basque Policeman on Peage

If V.O.S.A. were watching that game then they would of insisted that triangles were needed for such an overhanging load :open_mouth: .
I remember watching that game on the B.B.C. on a Saturday afternoon and I remember the incident very well but I can’t remember the score for some reason :cry: .

Not the shirley temple from Howe European ? Prato ?

no afraid not one hit prato john lol used to run my own to greece and other places for a good while then drove out of ireland for a good bit too

I heard Shirley Temple from Howe emigrated to S.Africa years ago .He was a good bloke . He was married & had a family & he used to do Prato & back wearing maroon velvet flares & a frilly shirt . He was 6’ & had long blonde wavy hair . I think his real name was Vic. It was funny , Hungry Joe got appendicitis in Prato & Vic was his replacement who arrived at Prato Station & was met by the other two Howe drivers . They had never met Vic before so when they see Vic walking down the platform in a velvet suit & patent leather shoes with shiny buckles they nearly dropped . He took a lot of stick but he turned out to be a good bloke & a good driver . He also had a beautiful wife but she never did a trip with him . Never saw Joe again .

me iam a ginger nut lol used to do all sorts of places depends how i felt lol this job had some colourfull characters in days gone by it need s them now but i doubt it most guys now days wont have stories like this to tell

Hungry Joe was from Hungary & was so patriotic pro Brit that you had to be careful what you said about Queen & Country !!

I landed on this thread as I was passing a bit of time before heading out into the garden. I started at the beginning, and got firmly engrossed in the interesting, and often amusing exchanges between the various combatants. It soon got off the subject of the ā€œTrainee Basque Policemen on Peageā€, and turned into a mass attack on ā€œColonelā€, during which he endured what can only be described as a fairly comprehensive character assassination. It got a bit personal at times, but the Colonel stuck to his guns, and fired a few broadsides of his own in response. Towards the end however, the name of that lady with the ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– , Ms. Erica Rowe cropped up, and things got to be altogether more amusing and lighthearted, as any good debate should. I,m sure even Colonel gave a sigh of relief and unalloyed pleasure,as Ms.Rowes bazookas graced the page. All in all ,it has made my day. I shall be cutting the grass with a smile on my face , thanks to the various contributors to this thread. At the age of 74 and an arf, I need a bit of a laff now and again.I can see them now, in me mind,s eye, bouncing about at Twickers. I can,t remember the score either, or even who won. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Oz lost to England 11-15 . due to the Ozzies not keeping their eye on the ball & England’s novel diversionary tactics .

It also appears to work with the guy who brings the drinks on and the physio in cricket or so I am often told :laughing: .
