Fixed now...so turns out I didn't climb 90,00 metres today

I took a decent one to Liverpool back in the early 90s - a Vauxhall Calibra. To a place called "Pleasure Island" - they never advertised it was next to Toxteth. Came back and the car had been nicked. It was a Good Friday. Had to get someone to come out to pick us up. It was found the following day. The police had seen it but as it was a high powered sports car they let it go. Apparently there was a kid, probably less than teenager. They could barely see him and he could barely see out the windscreen. He ended up crashing it and writing off a wheel. He abandoned the car, engine running, door wide open.Nah, never any decent cars in Manchester. Only go there to stock up on drugs from the Sky shop in the Velodrome.
While all that was happening during the Saturday, I had to get a tram to Old Trafford. It was turning into a disastrous weekend. One nil down heading into injury time. Then Steve Bruce popped up to score. He scored another deep into injury time. United 2-1 Wednesday - the rest, they say, is history:pac:
For anyone who would like a reminder of that day:

Surprised you didn't dig out the first match ever played at OT. Indeed my first ever match against Liverpool was an infamous Boxing Day around 1980. To rub salt into the wound not only was I stuck in the White City car park for over an hour after the match, but the fanbelt went in my grandad's car (which I had borrowed for the day) near Hartshead Moor services on the way home. The RAC were not responding and eventually we dragged out my sister's brother-in-law family from nearby Huddersfield who was unable to source a fanbelt but his girlfriend obliged by donating her tightsNot quite as good on your first visit to Liverpool though was it

Revenge since that particular Boxing Day (OK St Stephen's Day) has generally been particularly sweet though...0 -

Just beneath the cuff of Fergie's shirt. Been sitting there since around 1982, except for 1996 when they were rebuilding the stand. They have now put my name on the seatFighting Tao wrote: »Sounds like a big match for you. Which one are you in the video?0 -

I remember it well - I was too young to go to a pub and we didn't have Sky Sports at home so I watched the entire second half in our local Xtra-vision

Frank Skinner recalls "watching" a match in the 90s in his hotel room on Ceefax. Basically just waiting for the pixelly scoreline to change on screen.I remember it well - I was too young to go to a pub and we didn't have Sky Sports at home so I watched the entire second half in our local Xtra-vision0 -

Folks can somebody give a quick explanation of the bike to work scheme. I availed of this last year and got equipment of 1000 euro from a bike shop. This was the retail price of the equipment. On my salary deductions I seem to have repaid the 1000 euro.... this cant be right can it..?
You do repay the full €1k but it comes off your gross pay, thus saving on paye, prsi and usc . That's were the benefit arises from.
Simples really
