Saturday Again

[Big J R]

I know someone who has been to his house.

 

All you'll find in the kitchen is Pasta, Pasta, and more Pasta, with bottles and bottles of spring water and fresh fruit juice.

 

Not a drop of alcohol in sight, apparently.

I once met Gianluca Vialli in a restaurant on the Kings Road. He was very nice. Got through a bottle of Chianti fairly swiftly though!!

He was at Watford though!

[Big J R]

Another one of K.B.'s discards !

 

Ron (Chopper) Harris used to live half a mile from me.

 

Now there was a man who enjoyed a pint in the 'close' season !

[The Invisible Firstborn]

I've had a beer or two with Micahel Duberry, of all people. He went to school with my mate. Lovely chap. Still lived with his mum, despite being in the Chelsea first team.

 

Kevin Campell used to live round the corner from me when he was at Arsenal so, being young scamps, we used to pee in his garden.

 

Interestingly, I discovered that young Kimi Raikonnen lives in Chigwell. What a bizarre choice for a ridiculously wealthy, young F1 driver!

[Big J R]

If Kimi gets things right and has a good season, I bet he'll be off to Monte Carlo to live with the others !

Wish I was 18 again. Chigwell eh!!!! I always wanted (still do) to drive a F1 car. I've driven a F3.

One of the guys at Slough works for Finnair so he's met Kimmi and Mika Hakkinen on a couple of occassions.

Pitty you didn't know me a few years ago Lass, when I instructed at Brands !

 

I'd have love to show you round Dingle Dell !

[Halifax Lass]

 

Oh JR does this mean you could have made my dream come true? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Driving at very high speeds through Dingle Dell I mean! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[Big J R]

Well ! I could have taught you the 'Safety Aspects' of Racing, if that's what you had in mind !

COOL!! I've done a bit of karting and driven friends cars (Porsche 911, Ferrari 350 and Lotus Elise). Although the most fun was in my ex's Mazda MX5! I'm sure had I driven the sports cars flat out, it would have been a whole different ballgame!

All illegally, since I dont have a license.
Bit late for me to become an F1 driver though.

You seem to have friends with expensive tastes in cars Firstborn.

F3 was years and years ago, boyfriend who was into racing. (Daddy was paying)!!

 

I have to be careful these days as aleady have points for speeding!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[GarySTFC]

Tut tut lass.... You should know, or perhaps drive, better! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My old boss was a toff. He had the Porsche 911. It was a beautiful old 1985 model, with the air-cooled engine. It made the greatest noise and p!ssed all over a number of modern sports cars. His mate let me drive his old Ferrari, although I'm not a fan of the prancing horse in general.

A mate of mine had the Lotus. Lovely little thing.

[The Invisible Man]

Anyone know the origin of the word "toff"? Anything to do toffee, as in toffee-nosed, I wonder? Or is there a Germanic origin or something?

 

Just wondered.

 

I've got some speeding points but I think I can send off to Swansea to have them surgically removed now.

[Halifax Lass]

 

Nothing wrong with wondering (wandering) Invis!!

 

Do please be careful of having anything surgically removed there have been cases where surgeons have removed the wrong article!!

As have irate wives!

 

As for wandering - I had more of a purposeful stride in mind.

[color:"red"] No, she can't drive! But maybe Leicester Forest might be safer! [/color]

[color:"red"] No, it's likely to lengthen my stride! [/color]
