Re: Floydy in the Hot Seat.
At a friend's 50th birthday party years ago, it was around the same time as my wife and myself had just got engaged, without anyone knowing.
In the middle of my friend's "thank you" speech, I (after many drinks, I might add), decided to share the band's stage and announce rather innapropriately not only that my wife and myself had got engaged that day, but also that we would be getting married. That was news to my wife to be and the look of shock on her face (and others' too) really put me in a place I wanted to hide.
She smiled about it though and congratulations were thrown around.
I felt more sorry for my friend whose party we more or less gatecrashed to make that announcement!

But at the end of the day, i now have a lovely wife and that is much better than a "what could have been" isn't it? Sod the money!

Perhaps I didn't phrase it very well. I was wondering if you've done something or achieved something maybe that you thought you couldn't do? But did it and felt proud you came through it even tho it was daunting?
(Sorry, I do seem to have difficulty lately trying to get out what I mean. I'm better speaking rather typing
)
There are things such as getting through some very difficult moments in my basic training in the RAF, which are achievements I guess, but otherwise I can't recollect anything major, except bettering myself at the gym sometimes!

They were strange cars and all came in the colour of Smarties: Bright green, yellow, pale blue, orange, red and brown. Bizarre really!
The first weekend I had it I drove all the way from Hull to Cornwall to see my sister. A mammoth undertaking for a newbie driver.
It was a good little rustbucket which I had for about three years.
