loppylugs 8,424 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Knew how to build 'em back in the day. Doubt any company could build one like that today, even if they wanted to. Those old guys didn't have much in the way of fancy construction machinery either. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wise words Ben . A bit late but think more people would laugh at our silliness. It makes the world go round and laughing is the best cure for a lot of things. Wish there was more humor in the world. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm afraid I laugh at things when I shouldn't. When I was in the army & saw someone getting a beasting I always found it funny, the NCO would sometimes clock me laughing then I'd get a beasting as well. Once I was put on a charge for laughing on parade & was fined £5, I wasn't laughing then as that was a lot of money in the 70's.... I'll be falling about laughing at sumat on the telly & my wife'll be sat there in stony silence, she can't see the funny side of things like I can, she was born in Hucknall so maybe that explains it, lol.... Mam'd say "you'll be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute!" How is that possible? Lol... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 2,002 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Collyo410 my wife was born and bred in Hucknall so I know exactly what you mean, she never ever sees the funny side of things, mind you living with me I can understand why. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
