    Nah its when you are sitting with your foot touching the clutch pedal - a little bit of pressure wears the clutch

    I had a Nissan bluebird in the early 80's.

    Had go-fast stripes and a sunroof.

    I thought it looked the dogs bollocks!

    A couple of old guys who lived nearby were disgusted with me for buying Japanese and didn't speak to me for a couple of years.

    I passed my test in a state of panic.

    I was driving a Ford Anglia that was in any case way past it's best and possibly not entirely roadworthy.

    The main reason I passed was that the Examiner told me to turn right and I instantly found myself in the middle of road works. Top get through I had to pick a path that was only an inch or so wider than the car. with foot drops on each side and workmen who had cottoned onto what had happened, pissing themselves laughing.

    His reaction was, 'bloody ell, this wasn't here yesterday, they're supposed to tell us if they are doing this'
    Then he offered to take the wheel to drive us out, this being his fault.

    I reckoned that up till then I'd probably failed so I said I'd carry on.
    I somehow got through and I'm convinced he passed me out of embarrassment.

    reminds me of a time, i played waterpolo for the Army, combined services and England, we were stationed at Maidstone in Kent, It was summer we went with the regimental team to the water polo championships being held in Aldershot, one of our attachments signalman Spuggy Brownless had a sister that was in a wrac training collage above Southampton, He phoned her and arranged a blind date for 12 ladies and 12 of us,,so after the first mach on Friday night we loaded up the Army bus we had from the regiment, with mattresses a record player from a car, the item was called a discoset and was plugged into the batteries in the center of the bus floor, and off we went, We had to treat the girls to a night out in a Basingstoke nightclub,had a great night danced with 5 or 6 and decided on the best option i thought would drop them, in my view she was the prettiest and 4 other blokes were all ower her like a rash, so we got back in the bus and off we went to their barracks, the lucky bastards had an out door swimming pool,and they invited us for a skinny dip, everything was going great , managed to talk to the lass we were snogging in the shallow end on a red hot evening, and even in the pool a got a boner on, she could see it, whipped her hands down my speedos, and all i could think was she has done this before it was heaven, right then i heard a whistle, and this monster of a wrac staff seargeant was walking up to us she looked like a Russian shot putter,

    **** out of fags have to pop out for some if anyone wants to hear the ending let me know when i get back.
