    When my grandfather was courting my grandmother, just after he got demobbed at the end of the First World War, he had a bike that wasn't made with a kick-start. To start it you had to run with it and jump start it, then leap onto the seat. A pillion had to leap too. I don't know the make of the bike, unfortunately;

    On one occasion, when he was out with my grandmother and after he had tuned the bike, he thought it was handling well only to look round and see my grandmother sitting in the middle of the road about 50 yards behind him.

    She still married him, which is fortunate for me.

    Get 'em in AK or whoever is behind the bar tonight...I will start with a large View attachment 8659 please and drinks all round for my fellow early doorers!

    Great win and the scummers losing makes for a great day. We are off out tonight for a surprise 21st birthday for one of Little Miss W_Y best mates - party is in a pub almost in Baghdad central so there are bound to be a few of them tramps consoling themselves and a great opportunity to ask them about how they think their club is progressing :grin: Your Uncle Joe could be quite popular tonight, no doubt I will get a yellow card from Mrs W_Y, but nothing new there...:angel:

    Wonderful story NZ - I just love the stories from the old days, as a child I used to sit under the dining room table and listen to them all, just wish I could remember more..

    How on earth had Robbie Savage managed to convince Strictly Come Dancing that he was a premiership footballer?? He has not been in the top flight since 2008 and spent most of his time out of it!!
