There comes a time when we should praise people for their faux pars. This was the reason I created the 710 web page.
Today I learnt that a number of members of the team have made a real MONG's of themselves. This goes beyond the realms of 710
Messer’s shopkeeper, jumaji and a person of pension able age we shall now call YODA, attempted to start a VW Beach Buggy. This was achieved by the shopkeeper holding a copper pipe with a funnel full of petrol. YODA holding a length of electrical cable, one side to the battery and the other to the starter motor. With Jumaji standing behind twin exhausts adjusting the carbs...
Let’s say when the bugger fired up; Jumaji was seen doing River dance like a MONG .Whilst yoda and the shopkeeper wet themselves like little puppies
1. (Mong) - Slang for spastic, but used against a person who says or does something completely idiotic by accident or without realisation. This makes every witness simultaneously raise their hands to their shoulders and shake 'em while sticking their tongue in their lower lip and making 'urrgh' noises.
Being in the right place at the right time with a camera gives a sense of contentment when you come across a fellow 710 team member doing something over and above the call of duty.
This week we witnessed a gallant feet of engineering from our very own stunt double
He only had to ask for a set of ladders! But oh no he went the full Monty. Putting his life in his own hands he single handed repaired the shutters on his chop shop. The only reason this was done was that he was under pressure from the other half to go shopping, and it was getting close to dinner time…..
Let’s now pause for a moment whilst we ponder over the picture of the fall guy in action
May I take this opportunity to note that no safety harness or High Viz were worn?
Our Billy Feb 2010
Over the past two days I have been informed that one of learned brethren, has kicked off in 2010
A little snow on the ground and our Billy cant get of his drive..... After waking up being faced by what we presume was buster, he can’t find his keys, he checks every where only to find them in the pocket of his trousers. He then engages his brain and makes his way to work, jumps in his car selects reverse and moves off, only to hear an almighty scrapping coming from under the vehicle.
AHHHHHH MANNNNN........ What the F*~K was that. He gets out, tenderly walks to the rear of the car, bends down only to find the recycling box wedged under his motor, spilling last night’s special brew cans, pizza boxes and a copy of razzle across the pavement. Billy has now achieved a new world record for the fastest green box is Quinton as it flew down the road at 100mph with his size nine behind it.
Well done Billy
