Desperation led to many a good night out back in my younger days, followed by next morning regret trying to slip out of a house somewhereDesperation.

Been up the Golf Course for a brew and a few of the team lads were there making plans for a pre-season trip, bloke sat near buy was trying to inject himself in to their conversation, laughing at jokes, making comments, despite not knowing them or having anything to do with them.Desperation led to many a good night out back in my younger days, followed by next morning regret trying to slip out of a house somewhere

Blokes wanted nothing to do with him and wondered who he was, proper pub bore.
The more they blanked him, the weirder his stories got.

From this day forth you shall all now call him Jack!! We have a lad like at work that aptly nick named Jackanorry for his immense story telling.Been up the Golf Course for a brew and a few of the team lads were there making plans for a pre-season trip, bloke sat near buy was trying to inject himself in to their conversation, laughing at jokes, making comments, despite not knowing them or having anything to do with them.

My Boss in my working days was a compulsive liar, especially about himself and his ability. A few of us were "Catholics" and, one day, when remembering being confirmed by a Church bigwig he declared he'd been confirmed by the Pope!! Not even an intelligent lie. Said he had the photo on his mantelpiece. A few weeks later his wife was at a function and I mentioned it. Her reaction was priceless.From this day forth you shall all now call him Jack!! We have a lad like at work that aptly nick named Jackanorry for his immense story telling.
If anyone talked proudly about an achievement he'd done it, and done it better. We called him Topper as he could top anyone.
His surname was Davies and we took to calling him Dagenham Davies. He asked me why and I replied "You're just a few stops short of Barking"!

A couple of randoms.
1) This morning was able to hang out some washing for first time this year
2) Driving along a dark windy road I came up behind a cyclist pootling along. I sat behind him waiting for a straight bit of road to pass him. But I didn't have to wait long as at the first opportunity he had he pulled to the side of the road to let me and the car behind me pass.

Had to Google that.The old elevenarife
But, yes!!
18 years after retirement some of us meet monthly for a beer. We never talk about "the old days" but, inevitably, we do reminisce over his whoppers

There used to be loads in the military - a lot of tall tales
And even now you see Walter Mittys pretending to be ex military -even a whole Facebook group on it

1. The guy that turned up claiming to be an admiral and was even selected to lay the honorary reef, yet all his medals were from land campaigns and ones he couldn’t possibly have got at sea
2. We had one near work just over a month ago, wearing a 22 Reg beret, with SF Medic wings, whilst wearing RAF blues! I mean there’s Walter Mitty and then theres outright make believe and not having a clue how to do it properly

Well more good family related news. My ex wife has decided to move back down South which will be just after my new job starts. So my kids will only be a 45 min drive away from me, unlike now where I have to drive Hampshire to Huddersfield every other week. Means more time with them, More flexibility for them and a lot
Less stress

If it helps I can take them for a tour of Pompey for only £5000 a kid per week (food & board extra).

Will mean a 6th form or college for the boy and a new high school for the girls. Hopefully this one doesn’t have ridiculously overpriced school tripsGood news mate. Does that mean new school as well?

I lived in Newtown, Mid Wales many years back. I went into a pub I'd never visited before. As the landlord was pouring my pint I noticed a plaque on the wall behind him with a winged dagger crest but no Who Dares Wins inscription.There used to be loads in the military - a lot of tall tales

I said "Is that the SAS insignia?" to which he replied "Can't talk about it mate".
I checked his licence over the door when I left and was surprised to find his name wasn't Walter Mitty.

My lad quickly and firmly deciding that his next move is a degree in Aerospace Engineering once exams are over.
He wants to use this to gain officer entry to the RAF. He’s 100% more focussed than I was at his age.

My brother did that at Dundee or maybe Perth
Got a good job now examining helicopters and planes, based at Glasgow airport but does a bit of travelling as well.

Engineering officers are a well sought after bunch both in and after their RAF careers. One I know has just made the jump from RAF to BA not even as an engineer they’ve offered him scholarship on their pilot scheme.
Your lads made a superb choice imo, good luck to him and if he ever wants one drop me a msg and we can sort out a Familiarisation visit for him to get a look at everyday working life. Also when he’s settled at Uni look at RAF UOTC will help him with bursaries, credits and be good on his application for officer entry

He wants to go in as pilot intake (currently doing his PPL now) but an engineering degree makes that easier.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
One of the guys at Harworth pit was called “ Two sh*ts” . He was always trying to tell better stories. One day the lads were having there snap and one of the lads said “ I was driving to work this morning and I had to stop the car as this dog was having a sh*t in the middle of the rd”. Two sh*ts said “ you will never guess what I saw this morning” a trainee piped up straight away and said “ you saw a dog having two sh*ts”. The name stuck.From this day forth you shall all now call him Jack!! We have a lad like at work that aptly nick named Jackanorry for his immense story telling.
