PostPosted: Mon Mar 06, 2017 5:43 pm 
Just thought of this one today....

There was a time when I always seemed to be stopped by a motorist and asked for directions!!!!
Now it seems ages since that last happened....must be a good few years!!!!
It's obviously down to satnavs/google maps etc!!!!
Just another thing that doesn't happen anymore!!!! sadx

I had to ask directions to a place that was well hidden even though google maps got me right on top of the place. That was only last week.

Also, I sent a fax last year. Daft thing was it was only to test it still worked, amazingly it did AND someone else still had one to receive it!

Don't know if this qualifies, but my eldest told me that the current coolest kid at school acheived his status by somehow working out how to smash a shatterproof ruler. I spent hours trying to do that.

I do Mr Mutley :)

Regularly...ish.

I don't have sat nav so for away games I print instructions from the AA and it doesn't seem to matter where I'm going, the instructions are spot on until you get within about 2 miles of the destination, then it all turns to shit and I have to ask someone.

Had to ask for instructions for Colchester the other week (I went to visit a couple of graves which were about 5 or 6 miles from the ground and got lost on the way from the cemetary to the ground).

Cambridge was a bastard as well. Once I came off whatever motorway/dual carriageway it was there were about 10 roundabouts to navigate....it was a twat getting out of Cambridge too....especially when your interior light doesn't work and you're trying to read a piece of paper using the headlights of the car behind.....not the most responsible piece of driving I grant you but the traffic was nose to tail.

Had to ask for Mansfield as well the first time we went.

I said that to someone at work the other week and got some right strange looks. I'm guessing it's a Poolie thing.

I was thinking the other day I've never heard anyone say "I'm gonna jaw you" for years, might just be because I've not lived in hartlepool for nearly 20 years now.

Plastic Bread tags you used to attach to the break cord on your BMX; just for show like; and was it lolly sticks[?] you jammed in the back wheel/mudguard of your Grifter to make it sound like a Motorbike?

White dog shit.

I know owners are supposed to pick dog shit up these days but they should be allowed to leave the white variety imo.
