We've just transported a replica of the original 1940's olympic torch from school to school all around the uk for an awareness program.
Just a bit of inquisitive fun.
Just out of interest what's the strangest or most unique thig you've carried.

I suppose at least they're not going to start complaining about your driving or telling you that you should have turned left back there.
A crash test dummy from Northamton to Porton Down and it had to be in the passinger seat to avoid any damage to it. The miserable sod never spoke to me all morning.
Not particularly strange, but I took some ski's to London this afternoon.

I was slightly concerned having Nil Satis Nisi Optimum incorporated in my van signs but now I see a turd on Speed's ad I'm not bothered at all!
as long as everton don't sue you for copyright...don't think we're in breach of anything with our turd....unless you count good taste i guess...lol
PTC Sameday
As an Everton fan I'm sure the club would be OK about it. As for copyright, it's just a Latin phrase after all and 'Only the best is good enough' is also a phrase that applies to the service I provide. There's no need to go on the defensive about it and try to convince everyone that your ads are better than anyone else's by starting a competition. Jesus!
PTC Sameday
And please afford the club I have supported since 1963 the courtesy of a capital letter!
I wasn't gettin defensive....i think you must've had a sense of humour by-pass???!!!
it's called havin a bit of fun ffs...jeez
PTC Sameday
Sorry, when I read your posts again I realized that. If I was able to delete or edit I would have done. Nothing wrong with my sense of humour - after all, I have been supporting Everton for 49 years when my local club growing up was Spurs! Sense of humour or sense of irony? Hmmm
lol...ok...no worries

I had a call on friday night,
lady said that her other half had gone to a village near me to collect some guinea pigs and had got lost on the way back to Poole,
He had got himself to Yeovil and had lost the plot!
I went out to find him and drove down to Poole keeping an eye on the car behind to make sure he was still there!!
even with a satnav on the screen if you loose the plot you loose the plot!!
poor bloke!!

Well I suppose that fresh human semen for use by lesbian recipients must be up there with the strangest - but wishing the delivery point "better luck this time" on the third month in a row is not recomended.
