I thought he only did live comedy

I did meet him once at a party

I have seen another thread that goes on about how your avatar looks more like an apple than a plum

Wrong shape, wrong colour

I am still convinced that your real name is The Big Apple

Must do some work now

He didn't look very amused when I pulled his chin at the party

Okay.....and why would you want to pull his chin? That sounds like a kind of dangerous thing to be doing.

I knew it could be dangerous but his chin is so big and sort of squishy that I simply couldn't resist it

I do think he almost punched me and I would have deserved it

You must have done something foolish that you knew you'd regret but just couldn't stop yourself?

Well there was an occasion at Highbury watching a match. I was in the away supporters stand and we were watching our glorious lads die heroically at the hands of the Gooners and this policeman walked past us. I don't know why but it just occurred to me that it would be a jolly jape to steal his helmet, which I proceded to do. I had fully intended to just give it back but the guys around me took it and passed it around the ground. The copper went nuts and I spent several hours at the local copshop saying sorry.

I had better not tell you about the time I was on the way to an important lecture at art college and, in order to get rid of a particularly unpleasant hangover we, or rather big Linda fron Liverpool decided to douse the headache with a bit of martini and then a bit of gin in it

Short cut to college meant using a supermarket barrow which we only slightly lost control of

Picture grannies scattering like pigeons

I was caught having a pee against a derelict house by Welsh plod and I was a tiny bit rude and when he heard my English accent....

My brother-in-law works at Bangor Uni and he says that an English accent is a sure fire way to get the local police all over you. We don't go there very often for some reason.

I thought Lancashire was spped camera heaven, then I went to North Wales!

My brother-in-law is so used to all the cameras and traps that he has become the ultimate in slow annoying drivers

That happened to me after my 1st flash

I drove at the exact speed limit and everyone was calling me a w****r and hooting their horns, flashing headlights etcetera

I found the answer recently buying a tom tom thing which warns you of approaching cameras as well as directing you to where you are going

And it really works!

MY husband's identical twin brother is chairman of the bench in Solihull so we always have to crawl around the West Midlands.

You just wait till you get an unmarked police car come up behind you and the tomtom goes crazy. I borrowed a friend's device and only worked it out when they drove passed me laughing their heads off! Barstewards!

sends you into unfordable riveers and down unsuitable lanes you mean.

I am all for technology but listening to some harridan saying 'you should have turned right', when you should be concentrating on the road, no thanks.

Don't I know it! (Have you noticed where I live?) Very well known to the locals that you do NOT speed - however there are certain roads which never have the cameras and I wish they would!
