Title: The season is nearly upon us
Post by: TM BILL on December 06, 2013, 01:42:55 pm
Well its nearly that time of year again when i become a temporary Jehovah's witness  ;D i don't do Christmas , its not a religious thing its just that im a tight arse  miserable bastard  ;D

But it is a time of celebration for many and i would like to wish all my forum friends a very happy holiday season in advance and a very healthy , happy, safe and successful 2014 .

A year ago today i had an driving indiscretion with the constabulary witch involved alcohol and a bit of a blue with a couple of young cops  :-[

I was not way over the limit and felt fine to drive after leaving a friends B Day party .

Tip # 1 if a cop tells you to get on the pavement, probably best not to tell him to get fuct and go and put dads uniform back in the cupboard .

 Tip #2 if the cop pushes you, probably best not to tell him if he pushes you again, his mates will be drawing a chalk mark around him .

Tip # 3 if cop pushes you again ( even though your girlfriend advised him against it ) don't side step him and push him onto his arse  :-[   

Tip # 4 DONT DRINK AND DRIVE ITS NOT WORTH IT .

This scenario happened to me a year ago today and although i make light of it , fighting it was the longest and most expensive six months of my life . I very luckily got off the charges after 5 court appearances, due to employing a top Barrister ( this bloke could have got  Michael Jackson a job in day care or Stevie Wonder a driving licence ) but it cost me more money than i care to think about .

Also the stress levels have probably taken 10 yrs off my life , the ramifications of losing my licence would have been catastrophic in my line of work .

So my point is please don't drink and drive over the season ( or anytime ) all the sensational shock advertising they use to discourage drink driving had no effect on me ( maybe im desensitized due to my work ) but the reality of looking at a loss of licence and a lifestyle change really rammed it home .

Best wishes to you and yours 

Bill

i don't do Christmas 
same same ... well not 100% like some people  :)
I wasn't going to put in an effort either, with a half hearted and half completed "Dear All" letter.

Then I started to clean out last years Christmas gear and came across an old card, with a nice tidy Maico, purple rims, DT tyres and a Jolly red man holding a champagne glass, while waving with white MX boots on............and my Christmas spirit all changed.  :)

So I've completed the "Dear All" letter, threw some decorations around and sent the Elves out to buy presents  :D
I'd like to thank you all for a superb 2013 and see you trackside in 2014.cheers Alison

I have always done the Christmas thing but this is the first year that I'm not really looking forward to it.
We've got the outlaws at ours this year and in all honesty I'd rather be somewhere else.
Merry Xmas to you all.  ;D
