that was only one bloke - called jeremy something. I think he had a problem with a glider.sport! wrote:anyway, who recalls a couple of blokes who were in Lamb A, I believe in the mid 70s, one of whom had blonde hair, a limp and tended to wear army gear as much as possible, including some sort of scarf........anyway, their weird hobby, or was it just a myth? was going out on Big/Little Side after dark and hurling a sheath knife randomly up in the air and ........
then we had one in Col B who rather than the usual pin ups etc. in his study, decorated the walls with really sexy pictures of the new Intercity 125.
On the main topic - how weird is it to post a new topic with really unusual spelling!! Completely wired.

Not really for this theme, but some years ago and in another country, a soccer match I was playing in was suspended when a cow ate the corner flag.huntertitus wrote:Anybody have memories of kids with wierd hobbies?
Talking to cows. I got caned for doing this during a football match. The punishment didn't work; I still fall asleep if football is on the TV.

A guy in Maine A, a few years above me, used to collect other people's sport's clothes...oh no, wait a minute - he was a THIEF! It got so bad that someone actually put a notice on his study door that said 'Lost Property'. I wont mention his name as he may have good lawyer by now...
My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.

This guy sounds to me, what we called a 'Snowdropper' when I was in the police, but this usually only concerned ladies under-wear and washing lines !marty wrote:A guy in Maine A, a few years above me, used to collect other people's sport's clothes...oh no, wait a minute - he was a THIEF!

I'd love to hear some stories of the experiences you had in the police - it's one of those professions (like a doctor) where, if you are on the inside so to speak you get access to sidesplittingly funny stories - I know a few doctors and one had a vast list of objects which men had got their p*n*ses stuck into - some were quite unbelievable!J.R. wrote:This guy sounds to me, what we called a 'Snowdropper' when I was in the police, but this usually only concerned ladies under-wear and washing lines !marty wrote:A guy in Maine A, a few years above me, used to collect other people's sport's clothes...oh no, wait a minute - he was a THIEF!

I think you can say 'penises' on here, Robin.
It's not a rude word! If you talk about what they're used for, however.....
Bl*ody, on the other hand, doesn't make it past the censor.
Hope you never had a nosebleed, 'cos you wouldn't be able to describe it!
