A Man’s Fairy Tale



Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess,
"Will you marry me?"

The Princess said "NO!"

And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf and dated women half his age and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.


The End

3rd fastest ever in anything I trust

That was yonks ago! All a bit silly really. The Escort was brand new and unsorted plus the circuit resembled M25 on a bad day. Fact that I got round in one piece was enough for me!

I have a Friday night story on Saturday for you. My son and his mates are in the front room but now heading of too Henley.Reason, its thier mates "Bish " birthday 21 and they allways go out and celabrate. Bish got killed 3 years ago.They were all comming back from Reading on a Friday night and got a Taxi.Bish let one of the girls have his space in the taxi and walked home. He was run over!!!. He was smashing lad as they all are, he would train with us on Tuesday evenings with my footy team,he could not play footy, just a young man keeping fit. I think its nice that the lads have never forgoten him.
RIP Bish.
Now where did i put thise con rods

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. As it was I had a great time.Ann Widdecombe made an appearance at the end. Very good sport.I do think I am becoming a grumpy old bloke. The warm up man insisted we do the Mexican wave thing. Mrs Delta most upset as just kept still in my seat.Don't like being told what to do. Especially at £50.00 a ticket.

Having a turn out of paperwork in the attic and look what I have found, I wonder how much that's worth in today's money ?
I think I'll nail it to the wall next to the cheque from an "investment firm" that I received for 2 pence

Hmmm

RPI Index rose from 5/74 (106.1) to 12/86 (393) would raise £13 to £48.15

RPI then reset to 100 and has risen to 228.4 at 12/10 which raises that to £109.79.....

Maybe you should ask Spedeworth if they'll re-issue it
