  2. I bought a video recorder years ago from Curries plugged it in and it made a terrible rattling and screeching noise so I took it straight back.

The year was 1984 and 14 members of an aircraft enthusiast club took off from East Mids in a restored 1940s Vickers Varsity heading for Speke Airport in Liverpool. Shortly after take off they encountered engine problems and according to reports the aircraft plummeted 3000ft in a matter of seconds hitting the ground Tragically killing 11 of the 14 people on board

  16. Hi shears I remember years ago my dad telling me how his brother Tony Stimpson doing exactly the same thing, I'm not 100% sure exactly what bridge it was but it was the same area as yourself but think it was nearer to I think Beeston. Here too he was freed by the fire brigade only for the following day his mates to ask him exactly how he had got his head stuck in the first place, so he showed them. And yes you guessed it out came the fire brigade who again freed him and then being taken home by the local bobby for a stern talking to in front of his mum. From what my dad says this probably

  20. Two guys sneak into a farmer's fruit garden and start eating the fruit. The farmer sees them and comes out with a shotgun. "Since you guys like fruit so much go pick 100 of which ever fruit you want," said the farmer. The first guy decides to pick grapes. When he gets 100 he goes back to the farmer. The farmer says "Now shove em' all up your ass." The guy gets all 100 up his ass. He feels really bad, but then he starts to laugh. "Why you laughing?" asked the farmer. To which the man replied, "My mate's out picking watermelons!"
