Pads Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Furry is that a pic of a fire ???? and get away with you ..................[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furry Knickers Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Pads, it is a fire. I thought the robin was now no longer appropriate, so I replaced him with the fire to remain in keeping with the whole heating theme that is developing at Living France with all them gnomes that are going round in the nude. That Elle was so wonderful! We stayed up all night talking about inventions that no one has thought of yet (her father invented the car suspenion known as the Macpherson strut) so she was all for new technological breakthroughs. We thought up some great things that night! I thought of the space saving light bulb and a crutch on wheels that could be strapped to seagulls with broken legs and it could even be adapted to fit other sea birds. She was a grand girl indeed! I wonder what she's doing now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 "The MacPherson strut is a type of car suspension system widely used in modern vehicles, named after Earl S.MacPherson who developed the design. Though named for him, it was actually invented by an engineer named Fornaca at FIAT in the mid-1920s" liar, liar, pants on fire................................[:D][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel used now by that Macpherson one[:(] If I had known that her father was not the inventor of the Macpherson strut, then I would never have slept with her. The cheek of some of them women!

betty Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Just thought of another one too.My OH was with a mate and was driving by when the attempt was being made to abduct Princes Anne in 1974. They thought it was a traffic accident and kept on going!! Didn't realise until they saw it on the news the next day.Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie girl Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 We used to have a tropical fish shop in west sussex and Phil Collins used to come in for fish etc, very nice guy.

betty Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 This has got to be my last one too.Used to live next door to Kenneth Baker, home secretary at the time but now Lord Baker. We lived in the top flat and our cat at the time (dear old Barney, now no longer with us) once climbed over the roof top and sneaked in one of the windows of Mr Baker's house. His wife then had to ring our doorbell and I had to go crawling under a bed in one of their bedrooms to retreive said cat! One benefit of having Mr Baker next door is that we had a premenant police guard outside next door, so no chance of being burgled!At the same time we also had Robin Cook live round the corner in one direction and Cecil Parkinson lived round the corner in another. Unfortunately we lived in a flat owned by a housing assocation whereas lots of our neighbours were rolling in it! Plenty of paparazzi around at that time too.

Just Katie Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 g'day possum,I love your "and finally" moments. Especially the one of the farmer with the lost finger.

Tresco Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Kittie, how nice to see you!That's because one lost a toe...and the other lost a glass eye.I can't find it either....But my 'And Finally...' moment was something entirely different...[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 That is such a shame. I reckon they should have put that on a sticky. and I remember your finally moment too. Something to do with the Queen wasnt it?I once had the press knock at my door over a brief encounter with a famous comedian! [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also knocked on the door of Gary Numan with a friend who had already been to his house but he was out (GN lived on Wentworth at Virginia Water along with many other celebs). Come to thing of it, my dad installed a pumping station at Elton John's house there too. I may think of more when my memory gets going again...
