Re: Stupid mistakes
The bottom of the crate I take into each site once gave way resulting in 200 odd tubz vending rolling round the pub much to the amusement of the customers.Also left it on top of the van twice and driven away.Seeing tubz vending flying off the back in your rear view mirror is not nice!

After taking the **** out of me for being a canaries supporter, I could hardly let this post slip by without replying, now could I!
Could not believe the last game as birmingham were above bottom three b4 kick off!
When Wolves get that second goal putting BCFC into the relegation zone the birmingham "fans" should have made a rousing chant so the players knew what had just happened!
seems like the penny hadnt dropped for about 10 minutes FFS!
This would never happen at Carrow road Matt, the fans would have really got behind em in seconds!
Delia would have been on the pitch "lets be havin ya"!
Its called "passion" Matt, enjoy your stay in the championship, we will probably be joining you next year unless you guys go too league one
in a nutshell
F u ck off

Re: Stupid mistakes
I made a few stupid mistakes last week:
Collected 500 trays of pringles from Makro. On the way home forgot I had a trailer with a load on. Got to the M1 and put my foot down a bit. Although I had em well strapped down the wind got under the top layer & they flew all over the place. People were flashing me, hooting me untill I realised what was going on. Lost a dozen trays in the end. A couple of days later, same road, oppersite direction. I felt the pringles machine on my roof rack slip & come loose, pulled over onto the hard sholder & carefully slowed down. Even at 35mph, when a pringles machine hits the deck there's not much worth salveging, was left with a coin mech & back plate.

...sending vibrators with the battery 'live' inside (i.e. ready to go) on CityLink, only to have some of them activate in transit and trigger a bomb scare at the local delivery depot. Officially branded as "Muppets" by the local constabulary...
