You've Been Framed moments

21 Sep 2005

Ever had that experience where you wish you'd had your camcorder handy to capture the moment...... keep it clean folks :thumbup:
Years ago I was standing in the concourse to Leeds train station waiting for my train to appear on the departure boards.
In those days the timetables were arranged around the concourse, a central pole with four large boards arranged at 90 degrees to each other, the bottom of the boards being around waist height.
One day I watched a blind guy enter the concourse sweeping his white stick in front of him in an arc, approaching one of these timetable boards his stick went under the board and missed the pole, giving him no forewarning of the obstacle... you guessed it, he walked straight into the board.
Now I'm not sure which was funnier (for me the observer), the walking into the board or his reaction afterwards where he took his cane to the said offending obstacle, which I would liken to Basil Fawlty thrashing his clapped out motor with a tree branch in the famous Fawlty Towers episode whip

Thankfully, the poor guy had no lasting damage as he continued on his way :thumbup: ..... and I apologise to anyone who I will have undoubtedly offended with this tale..... it was just a comedy moment, no malice intended.

the one time i really could have done with a cam,
on my way home from college one evening, there were a few of us on the train, and one of our party, was lightly dozing in his seat, now, the train we normally cought, would drop a couple of the others on a platform on the left hand side of the train, only this evening, we caught a slightly later train. anyway, we arrived at the station, and pulled up at the platform.
we awoke our slumbering friend, only for him to get out of his seat, open the door, and plummet straight to the ground. luckily, a rail worker spotted the accident, and managed to stop the train from pulling out, and only his pride was hurt, although there were 3 p155 stained pairs of trousers, it was one of the funniest things i had ever seen...he was just so cool getting out of the door, then he was gone.

Ooooooh that's not nice... if I'd witnessed that I'd have asked the blind gentleman if he wanted to complain about the design to whomever is responsible and did he need my name as a witness... poor man to have to put with things like that.
Now a camcorder moment for me was a hefty eleven year old girl being shrugged out of the saddle by a Donkey on Skegness Sands... and promply peeing on her... hilarious moment... and I can say that cos the girl was me! biggrin

Thank goodness the sea was in near vicinity to wash off... and no, I'm not into golden showers. smile

I've got one that could make a feature film, there was such a catalogue of disaster.
There's no way I could begin to describe in detail what happened when a party of Sea Scouts sailed onto South Walsham Broad in a howling gale whilst we were all moored up with a grandstand view.
Suffice to say it's the only time in 28 years of sailing holidays that I've seen a 24 foot long yacht with a 3 foot deep fin keel sailed onto dry land. It was completely out of the water, kept upright by trees on either side. Amazingly it wasn't seriously damaged (at least the blokes from the boatyard determined that it wouldn't sink if they pulled it back into the water, which they did).

My cam-corder moment:
Coming home one night on the top deck of a bus when I was a teenager, a friend got up at her stop and walked down to the stairs, turned to wave/say goodbye and promptly diappeared head-first down the steps. I swear to this day that you could see her feet disappearing as she went. Thankfully only her pride was seriously hurt ( a couple of scrapes and bruises to remind her) - not that she would've received any assistance for those of us still on the bus, we were all doubled up in agonising laughter biggrin

Oh oh oh,,, just remembered another one, again to do with buses! Another friend trying to be cool in his donkey jacket, with his hands jammed into the pockets, in the middle of winter with snow on the ground. The bus slowed to a stop, he jumped out just before it stopped (as you did back then), mis-timed it and landed right on his face with his hands still in pockets! He actually lay ther until the bus moved off so embarrassed was he!
I'm sitting here with a stupid grin now remembering! :D :D :D :D :D

when i was many years younger i tried to jump over our fence, only to end up hanging upside down by me knickers for all the street to see.
the worst bit was yet to happen, the lad i fancied over the road came to my rescue.
i could never look him in the eye again.

Many many years ago ( I was 15 at the time).....
I had just finished school for the day and was 'cruising' on my skateboard to the local shops...lots of young ladies used to gather at the bus stop (skoolies passing through to posher areas) and on spotting them, I gathered speed and placed my hands in my pockets (my attempt at looking cool...... cool

) and yes......my skateboard hit a small stone ( i think ) and I ended up flat on my face - didn't have the time to remove my hands from my pockets.....a huge shrill of laughter erupted and I rose a quickly as possible ( i was hurting too..!) and bolted as fast as I could round the corner out of sight - skakeboard under my arm....Never put your hands in yer pockets whilst riding on a skateboard..!

falling off my motorbike three times in 500 yards and ending under a bus ...it was winter and the ice ruts in the road where making my bike go all wobbly ....the final insult was when a old lady shuffled across the road to give me back the indicator lens off my bike and the bus driver grinning down on me

I would have loved to see have seen this on cam... just to remind me of how stooopid I was at 14.
Letting a younger lad have a go with the golf club I was using, teeing it up for him and then standing behind him as he took his swing... which resulted in me having 7 stitches in my eyebrow. ouch. rolleyes

Not sure which story to contribute :undecided: so I'll save it for the moment.

Going along with the bus themes..........
In the good old days.......the bus driver always used to open the door before the bus had fully stopped. Being young and cocky I always stepped off the bus on the move and walked away..................
.........except one day!!!
The doors opened and I prepared myself to depart. I watched the ground rushing past and timed my departure to perfection. I stepped out and................
..............who put that fecking lamp-post there??????
It knocked me for six redface

Several years ago I was considerably slimmer and into dance music - out on a girls night out in a really short skirt and bloody big gothy knee boots (ya know, 4 inch platform 'stompy' ones, with springs in the soles no less rolleyes

)
Walking down a big staircase into main dance floor area with a 'oooo look at meee everybody, the Queen is in the building' attitude ....(yeah you know whats coming next)
I'm about 4 steps down when those damn boots didnt connect with the step ....falling....falling....grabbed onto someone about half way down, feeling a tad embarassed but laughing about it.....got up, flicks hair, steps down wishing the ground would swallow me, and fook me slips again, and did the remainder of the staircase on my ass, legs akimbo, landing in a very uncool heap at the bottom..... redface

Now I was soooooo embarrassed, I couldnt face getting back up, so just lay there........which only made matters worse cos I opened my eyes to find a BIG crowd of people stood over me because they thought I was dead!!

There are so many embarassing stories i could tell you, heres one of many :shock:
I had only known dino for a short time and after a drink fuelled evening together, we ended up back at his house. Yes for sex :P After a drunken sex session :silly:
I needed a glass of water, so i got out of bed and threw Dino,s dressing gown on.
As i left the bedroom, and turned to go downstairs, i some how fell or tripped from the top of the stairs :shock: all the way down to the hall. I landed on my back, my legs wide open :eeek: and totally naked. I some how managed to lose the dressing gown dunno

This would have been fine, except when i looked up. There was a man standing over me, asking if i was ok redface

he then offered his hand, to help me off the floor.
Then i heard screams of laughter from Dino biggrin

as he kindly introduced me to his brother surprised

ops: :oops: :oops:

OK, Picture the scene.
there I am sitting in the drivers seat of my car waiting for my GF to leave her parents house to go out on a date with me. I've been dating her for a couple of months and the sex thing is wild and spontaneous, sooooo being keen to impress I whips my brave little soldier out, who by the way is standing to attention like every sergeant in the army has been shouting at him, and wave it at her face peering in through the window to tell me she will be ANOTHER 10 mins getting ready..........whats the problem you ask??? well it was her bloody dad at the window looking at the one eyed monster with a look of disgust on his face thats what.... I nearly died on the spot.
Anyway, I must have impressed because I've been married to that girl for almost 20 years. As her dad gets older though he has started to give me some funny looks, I think he's turning French or something.....
