well at least it wasnt a lada or old skoda,now those were the derren browns of cars-they had a knack for making kids in them magicaly disappear in public,not only that they were pretty good at making half the parts on the car disappear to [eg, doors] if were to believe the old childrens taunts.:pac:
perhaps they are a rapper ? theyre all called dog something or other.
Try six boys in the back seat of the Ford Cortina back in the 80's. The mother used go into Quinnsworth for the shopping (to this day she STILL does a thing where she'll drive over a kerb and into a parking space rather than reverse back into it properly like normal people!) and the six of us in the height of the Summer heat, left in the car, would be shouting out the window "Ma! Ma! Will you get us a chilly willy!" :pac:
They swapped the Cortina then for a Toyota Hiace and of course my father dropping us off at school had to pull up literally outside the school gates where the principal would be standing and we'd all pile out the back of the van. It became a running joke between the principal and my father that every morning without fail almost, the principal as we were piling out of the van would go "Oh here comes the A-Team!", and the pair of them would crease themselves laughing while we would be walking into the school with big beetroot faces on us.
We were all delighted when he said he was getting rid of the van, only what did he do? Went and bought a Toyota Liteace! :mad:
Still though now I think of it, the bit more room in the back of the Liteace meant I didn't have my brothers àrse in my face when we were all standing in the back of the van huddled over because of the low roof height!

My dad is seriously socially inept when it comes to relating to younger generations bless him. Bringing fellas home used to mortify the sh1t out of me - one poor young fella asked if he could use our phone: my dad, meaning "Is there anything I could help you out with?" didn't have the polite vocabulary and just blurted out "What's your problem?" I just walked out with your man. All our friends and neighbours and exes and cousins thought my dad was odd as feck. He's actually great underneath it though.

That has me in stitches, it's just the way all families were when you think about it. I bet ye still sit around at get togethers and laugh about this.
I often think what embarrassed us then gives us such a giggle now. Happy families can't beat them.
My own father used to drop us to the bus for secondary school and every morning without fail he would be late, same routine following the bus flashings the lights like a mad man, bus would stop and all four of us would walk heads down onto the bus to the usual shouting and laughing.
This often lead to my brothers fighting once we got of the bus. I often thought why the bus did not wait but of course it would just mean my da would be be even later.
Bless him wherever he is, he gave us plenty of happy times.0 -
Just remembered this gem from my mum.
My parents picked me and a friend up one day and were dropping us back at my place, my dad is a bit of an angry driver and beeps at everyone he feels isnt driving up to his standards. He must have beeped 4 times in the space for 15 minutes.
So my mum said 'Jesus I wish you were this horny when we're in bed'
My friend thought ti was the funniest thing she's ever heard, I just sat there wanting to jump out of the moving car. They are in there 60s.
My dad turned 69 in April, and everyone was making jokes about having to have a 69 with my mum for his birthday. He hadnt a clue what we were all on about, the next day my brother said to him 'so did you get your 69 last night?' My dad replied 'No sure, I spent 30 years looking at it why would I want to look at it now'
He worked in HB for 30 years and thought we were all talking about ice cream...99s.
