School Boy/Girl Errors...

Did she take out an insurance policy on you recently ? :eek:
Combination of things...main one to stop me whinging about how I never spend anything on my golf clubs and gear, and put up with 'make do' stuff all the time.

I bought my current full set of irons ~15yrs ago for £299, and my driver cost me £50 about 10 yrs ago. In the last ten years since I've maybe spent £450 on hybrid, 4w, 2xwedges and putter. I think I'm ready to, at long last, buy what will be only my 4th set of irons in 45yrs. And I should get a good deal through our Club Pro.

Besides - I think that my Mrs reckons that at the rate I buy golf clubs I won't likely be buying any more after this lot...:unsure::eek:
 
Standing around on a Sunday morning with the rest of my football team moaning about the opposition being late and talk of claiming the match. Turns out we were away. We found out a few weeks later our manager had actually spoken to the opposition manager and confirmed the venue and time. Didn't live it down for months and cost him a round at the Christmas party

Think Pathetic Shark can remember who the manager was as I'm sure he'd made the squad for that game and really enjoyed standing around a cold field in Chessington

Was up in the loft on Sunday. Putting up Christmas decorations. No fixed loft ladder - just a hatch and a separate ladder. Went to go down ladder. Foot on top tread. Mrs SILH had moved the ladder and not put it back properly. It slipped and down I started to go...fortunately my brilliant Scottish goalkeeper reactions prevented my plunging through the hatch...floorwards...

Schoolboy error. Lesson learnt. Always check ladder is firmly set before stepping down on it.
Next door but one to me ,his daughter came out screaming her dad had fallen out the loft.
I rushed in he was caught in a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs.
45 mins for ambulance and off he went.
He fell out the loft bounced of the handrail down the stairs.
Broke his little finger.

But never heard “Brilliant Scottish goalkeeper reactions “ in one sentence before.;)
 
Years ago me and Missis Tash and her sister had tickets to go and see Spandau Ballet at the NEC. The bus turned up and we went on I was the first. I got half way down the bus and the smell of patchulia oil was overpowering.I looked around and saw black leather and dirty denim everywhere. I said “ is this the bus for spandau Ballet”. A grebo said “ does it F ****n look like it”. They were going to watch motor head.

Doesn’t quite fit this thread perfectly, but I found this very funny.

Wife and I currently sat on the sofa watching a bit of TV and she says to me

“I’m going to tell you something that I hope you find funny. When I was washing up, your phone was on the kitchen worktop and it lit up. I looked to see what it was and it was the “U Swing” app. I was worried you’d signed us upto a swinging app, so I had to google what it was”

I just sat there shaking my head at her.
 
Selling a phone on fleebay and not putting uk bidders only and then the wining bid is from Lebanon!
Cue a million messages about postage and can he pay in US dollars.... ???
 
Packed up for a business trip into my new (thankfully black) rucksack. Checked the pens worked before packing them but didn’t put the lid of the highlighter back on properly. When I arrived my bag had a nice yellow sheen inside the pocket!

Thankfully a quick rinse in the hotel tub and a dry with the towels worked. I still wonder what they would have thought of the yellow stains on the towels...
 
Not mine exactly, but on one of our Scottish golf holidays a mate had booked us a cottage a couple of miles outside of Dingwall. So I booked the flights and mate 2 booked the car. So we flew into Inverness, trolled over to the car hire desk to find, eventually, that our estate car was all ready and waiting for us. In Edinburgh. Three people, three sets of golf clubs and three set of luggage didnt fit well into a hastily arranged Astra.
 
Sounds like a blessing:)

??. Brothers a West Ham fan and I went with him to watch Hammers v Man United couldn’t get in as it was sold out so went in a cafe opposite ground, then we saw a load of Man United fans appear with a ladder and about 20 climbed in. ?

Hugh, I suggest you check out a Tik Tok Video called " My first day as a hit woman " very funny , if someone could post it on the forum page :ROFLMAO:(y)
 
The wife took our young daughter to visit her mum. She got on the train at Newcastle only to find some bloke sat in her seat. She hates confrontation so looked about for other seats but the train was packed, so she summoned up her courage, went up and said "excuse me, I think you are sat in my seat". The guy says "sorry, this my seat". She gets her ticket out which shows he is in her seat. He gets his ticket out which has the same seat number. The conductor comes along, checks both tickets, and asks what date it is? My wife says "It's the second of June". The conductor says "that's right, however your ticket is for the 2nd of July".

A very expensive mistake as she had to buy new full price tickets. She is now a bit more careful when buying advance tickets.
 
I was invited as one of two guests of honour to the 25th anniversary celebrations of the finals day of a Junior league I helped set up in Surrey.
I combined it with a trip from Scotland to visit family and our in-laws on the IOW. After an overnight stay I turned up mid morning and thought it strange the car park was pretty quiet.
I was a day to early. The following day I was booked to caddy for my Daughter in the County Championship then catch the ferry.

As an afterthought it must be only a few years off their 50th anniversary now......wonder if I shall get another invite.:love:

The ladder was then used by 100 West Ham fans trying to get out ….
