FFS. I mean, X Factor?Choice of 2 really, either when I was waiting for my little sister to get her test results back from the hospital or when they were about to announce the winner of the 2011 X factor.

Similar story, although ours is only 15 now and currently a stroppy lazy little shit, but I'm sure she'll grow out fine on the other side.Becoming a dad, we were unlucky the year before but my wife got pregnant again. But the entire time i was scared. When our daughter was born the midwives took her away for a couple of seconds to do all their checks but she was perfect I felt an immediate sense of relief and emotion. Love being a Dad I don't always get it right but she's Intelligent, funny, kind hard working so we have done something right
Coincidentally I also did my car test at 17 and bike test a couple of years later (both at Mason Road, 1971 and '73). Can't recall being too nervous at either though.Doing my driving test at 17. I’ve never been a sweaty person but I was soaked through by the time it was over. I had to have a bath and change of clothes before I could go back to work. Probably the only time I’ve experienced that. Did my bike test a couple of years later and didn’t sweat it at all.
So you passed your bike test the year I was born thenCoincidentally I also did my car test at 17 and bike test a couple of years later (both at Mason Road, 1971 and '73). Can't recall being too nervous at either though.
Yeah, alright. No need to rub it inSo you passed your bike test the year I was born then
Join the club!And a real one. Being told we can leave the hospital now after my son was born. Not a clue what to do.
I vividly remember that day, listening on the car radio in Coventry.During the London Tube bombing. I caught an earlier train than booked so missed the main bombings. But - I was at a meeting in Whitehall with a Government minister when an official came in and we were told about the bombings and informed they had a call that there was a bomb in the building. I'm amazed we weren't evacuated, but we were led to a safe room. They confiscated our mobiles and brought a big old fashioned land line in. We were able to make one quick call only. After 2 hours the Army declared it safe. Luckily a guy at the meeting drove down from Bham so I cadged a lift home with him. Really eerie walking through London, only emergency vehicles still flying around the streets. Tourists huddled around closed tube stations not knowing what to do or where to go.
A day I will never forget

Have you carried the mugging with you mmj? My mate and I were mugged at knifepoint in Birmingham as 15 year olds or so and I’ve always been pretty scared in city centresBeing mugged at knifepoint with mates for our bus money as a teenager at pool meadow, saw the guys a month later and nearly pissed myself in fear
Was in London the day of the bombings, quite surreal and it felt very weird, luckily I was away from the area and just focussed on getting home safe.
Grabbed a taxi late one night in Amsterdam, cop car pulled up alongside him and suddenly our driver (obviously scared and wanted) decided that Amsterdam was the new F1 circuit and we were in a high speed chase around town and then out of the city, hit a few bollards and posts and after about 15 mins, he had lost the car enough that he stopped, shouted for us to get out and sped off again, seconds later, the cop car sped by as 3 grown men were just left in the street hugging each other thanking our lucky stars and going wtf.
walking back into town, another cab stopped and only time we've ever asked to see his license and that he was registered.
nice punSky diving's definitely up there.
are you sure she's yours?...she's Intelligent, funny, kind hard working so we have done something right

When my lad was born He wasnt breathing, seeing the midwife pull the emergency button and loads of nurses come dashing in with him blue and not crying was horrible. Was about 20 seconds but felt like an eternity. Hes alright now though a gobby 13 YO
Mine was 38 years ago, it did properly scare us, luckily the bus driver believed us and let us on for free, never told our parents otherwise they wouldn’t have let us go swimming every week in town after school. For the following weeks, we stayed where an actual bus was and a driver until ours came in and then went across and got on it.I fell left out having never been mugged - didn't realise it was so common. We do live in a society of cunts!
