Muppets I have Known...

[Pilgrim]

I was on the phone last night to one of my oldest and dearest friends (who, under the circumstances, must remain nameless) and we were chatting about old times, as you do. And I gleefully took the opportunity to remind of him of a small, shall we say, 'incident' in which nobody was hurt, but left him in urgent need of alternative employment.

He's a club racer and, nowadays, has his own panel beating and car valeting business, but a few years ago he was delivering cars to customers for his (very, very much) ex-employers. Until the day he demolished the rear end of a brand new Ford Mondeo.

Unfortunately, he wasn't actually delivering the brand new Ford Mondeo, which was parked up, peacefully minding its own business by the pavement near where my mate used to work. He instead chose to demolish the rear of the Mondeo by employing, wait for it...

The front end of the equally brand new Ferrari F335 he was supposed to be delivering. Which required a total front end rebuild.

He doesn't deliver high performance sports cars any more.

Has anyone on these boards ever committed so ghastly a blunder?

A friend of mine who was a Porsche mechanic (back in the old days when there was some cachet to driving a Porsche) and he was taking a car out for a test run after serviing etc.   Unfortunately he blatted past the owner of said vehicle at some ungodly speed and got a proper telling off when he returned.

I was only expressing my view that Big H and proctology have more than a passing acquaintance!

I met a girl (from a county in the south east which rhymes with Wessex) who at the age of 24, untill we corrected her. Was convinced that everybody irrespective of which part of the world they were from, was born thinking in English! It was she summised, only during their upbringing that they forgot English and learned to think and later to speak in their native tongue.
