Compo 10,328 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Along with the usual cards and cash, I keep my Australasian Order of Old Bastards membership card; I became a member in 1985. If you are approached by another member and you don't have your card with you there is a forfeit of one pint of ale to be paid to the other chappie. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 After reading this thread I need to take advice from Catfan, I need to carry money as it's for sure the lady won't and as for going to the bar, once when I was 50, same when I was 70, somehow 60 got missed. I tell everyone my ladies nickname for me is 'wallet'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Mrs. L was talking about an article she read about guys putting their wallets in their back pocket and that it could cause lower back pain and thus better to put it in a side pocket. Long story short, it got me thinking. Back in the 60s about the only thing I had in my wallet was a bit of cash. No credit or debit cards. No such thing as far as I knew. Possibly a driver's license, but no picture ID of any kind. What different days. One night I was walking home from my girlfriends when a police car stopped next to me. They asked me where I had been, where I was going etc. I didn't get sassy. Just told 'em the truth. They didn't ask for any ID. I didn't have any. They wished me a pleasant good night and went on their way. For all our technology it doesn't seem better. Now it would probably be, Your papers, Please! j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely enough, a few years ago i was travelling down to Bristol to my fathers for the weekend, and when I arrived i had a pain in my right thigh. Noticing that I was walking strange, i explained that I had a pain, whereupon he replied that he used to get the same thing when he drove up to ours. He found it was his wallet causing the problem, after that I always remove mine before driving any distance, never had a problem since !. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
