[les_taxi]

Ok so I'm in the magazine a picture as in pen pal request type thing along with another picture of this bruiser guy so i look OK in comparison:xxgrinning--00xx3:
On the 2nd day after publication of this issue I was working in Wetherby a market town about 8 miles from Harrogate.
I was on 'half day' and so came home on the bus and approached my house.

The afternoons plan was to get changed and meet my mate for a game of Tennis in the local park:xxgrinning--00xx3:

As i walked towards my house I could see to young girls-about 15 or so stood outside my door:Erm:
As I got nearer I could see they both had a copy of 'Oh Boy'i in their hands:yikes:
Now in those days I was quite shy and thought .... what happens next:omg:
Anyway as I walked up my garden path the girls said excitedly is this you in the picture:hubbahubba:
I was crapping it and said yes-one of the girls said hmm you look better in the picture:bigcry:

Then not sure what to say after the girls had said what I'm i doing in the afternoon I came out with this classic:doh
"Oh well girls thanks for coming I'm off to play Tennnis-Do you want to come and watch me play!!!!!"

Wtf:doh What a pile of crap to say-I'm only very average at Tennis and to imply I'm worth watching was so embarrassing in hindsight
I felt a right clown and rushed inside house and waited til they were gone about 5 mins:icon_lol:
That was bloody embarasing believe me-I was mortified:laugher:

[grahamw48]

When you've got a handsome 17 year-old half-Filipino son like mine, seems they're ringing the door bell every bloody hour. :NoNo:

Tim ... now I know that is your REAL christian name. :) Likewise think] Maria. Mine too!! Tawi ... well ... I once asked him HIS - and he told me his forename. 'Joebloggs' could just as easily be called 'Joe Public' ... in so far as it is frequently referred to in precisely that context ... or even 'Joe Soap'. :icon_lol: Hence, I reckon "our" Joe's first name is something else other than Joe. :D But one thing's for sure - he's long maintained secrecy as regards his surname ... which, I'm given to understand, is so unique - that the chances of anyone here "stumbling" across it are *one in a million - *as, of course, is "Joe", himself! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
