Granny Danger Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I was once in a limo convoy with one of the (then) most powerful politicians in Europe; we had police outriders who stopped the traffic so our journey was uninterrupted. I lived in a Council flat in Arden at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearthammer Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I won Scottish Schools Senior 4 x 100m relay gold medals two years running () in the mid 70s. One was at Scotstoun and the other at Pitreavie. Was never good/fast enough to compete for the individual sprints, but was part of a solid team that had 2 sprinters who were excellent and who could compete. Me and the other guy were the makeweights to compliment the genuine athletes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was at Scotstoun and the other at Pitreavie. I ran the 800m at Pitreavie as part of a Scouts athletics event, standing in for somebody who never turned up just so that our group wasn't disqualified for a no show. Very much a forced "don't care if you're in jeans, just cross the line in last place and that'll be fine" type thing. Having absolutely no running experience or warm-up, I sprinted the first lap thinking that would have been standard style, somehow ended up winning the bloody thing (albeit by a few seconds), but popularity rapidly waned as I proceeded to spew in full view of the packed stand having pulled a whitey after stopping. Watching me bolt into a 200m odd lead must have been a hilarious sight to behold. Surprised I wasn't approached for a film opportunity given the popularity of the true-underdog-athlete genre (Cool Runnings, Eddie the Eagle, etc). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I was once a mascot at a Falkirk game. Colin McNair scared the shit out of me by throwing the ball at my head as hard as he could in the changing room. He missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Underground exploration is my hobby. I am a spelunker. My name is Hedgecutter the Spelunker. I hunt for, discover, and map Scottish caves (and some ancient mines). Most recent joint 'discovery' was a breakthrough dig into a mile-long extension to an old limestone mine near Kilsyth, part of which was a stone-lined pit-pony-driven railroad containing giant iron nails, last seen by somebody who lived at the time of George III. Picture of the Kilsyth mine, with me pointing at a featureless bit of rock for artistic effect. You can see why they used small kids as labour. F*** crawling through that daily. Often perceived as the thing of nightmares by some people, but being the first person in the history of humankind to set sight on a previously undiscovered part of Scotland is a feeling that never grows old. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try this on Tesco. 21 hours ago, johnnydun said: In 2002, I was just a couple of millimeters shy of having a World Record of a longest body part.
