Having been quite a fan of this thread, I just had a realisation.
In August, in Africa, I volunteered myself as a designated driver, but had no idea where to find the handbreak/how to get my brother in law's swish automatic car into reverse and with no one to guide me was swiftly turfed out.
Frankly it was a tight/complex steep downhill manoeuvre anyway so it was probably for the best not to prang his Merc.
Totally failed in my moment of glory to be an African car reverser...

This thread should never be off the first page.

Probably 12 months ago I was sat on the new mower happily  cutting  the semi rough on the £35k machine. Unfortunately on one bank it slid , I lost control, shot down the side of the 9th and finished up embedded in a tree in woodland. I had to walk to find the course manager and his first words were " what the fuckin hell were you thinking about ". My reply was " I wondered whether my shit would run out the bottom of my trousers ".

He used to wear purple trousers. Possibly still does.

They started off navy blue and after a couple of washes they are back to their best.

Probably 12 months ago I was sat on the new mower happily  cutting  the semi rough on the £35k machine. Unfortunately on one bank it slid , I lost control, shot down the side of the 9th and finished up embedded in a tree in woodland. I had to walk to find the course manager and his first words were " what the fuckin hell were you thinking about ". My reply was " I wondered whether my shit would run out the bottom of my trousers ".

Were you able to restart the mower where it lay or move it away from the trees, restart it there and take the penalty ?

Got towed out and amazingly not too much damage. Straightened up the front deck...gave the seat a good clean   !! And we were good to go.

So don’t complain
About your useless employment.
