Big City Girl Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Years ago I went on a mountain hike with work, a freezing fog came in at the top, stranding us on the mountain with zero visibility. It was bloody cold and the compass was no use at all. As well as the risk of exposure, I slipped and started sliding to what was a sheer drop of about 1000 feet, but one of my colleagues grabbed my hood in time. We ended up going down the other side of the mountain and spent the night in a pub (which was ace!). Quote
Burndens Bogs Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 A number off here have met her mate. Grown up tall, fit and beautiful but after a previous nasty encounter in another forum, I am loathe to post a photo of us both on Scotts doorstep or under the North Stand with Zoz, Bogsy and a few more off here. Some disrespectful bags of shit out there in cyberland who think nothing of typing something they wouldn't have the bollocks to say to your face. A natural fatherly reaction to be a little over protective of daughters mate - just as I am being here. Let's be honest. We know what we are like! I can confirm - a stunner indeed!, but you're probably right not to put the photo's on here Quote
Danny G Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 How i didnt die when I was a child is beyond me, I am not sure if i was fearless or just stupid (No funny comments please No Balls) Me and my mates would walk across the bridge over St Peters way behind Burnden, underneath on the girders without a care in the world but a gust of wind very nearly lifted me off once, on a seperate occasion i was walking accross a wall on the bridge on Lever edge lane ( the old railway ran beneath in years back) and fell off 25 feet to the pathway below, luckily i bounced up off the floor and had missed a few stone blocks by a foot. i didnt have a scratch on me I broke my arm in two places as a 10 year old doing the same thing 2 years later I got stung over a hundred times by a swarm of bees when i was about 7, Quote
bolty58 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I got stung over a hundred times by a swarm of bees when i was about 7, Wasps in my case! Around the same age too. Dobbins Field on Crompton Way. Me grandma had to pluck the stings out with tweezers. The little bastards got everywhere, ears, arse crack - everywhere. Quote
no balls Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Speaking of swarms, and I know I didn't make this up, but I remember being attacked by a plague of ladybirds. I was probably about 5 or 6. Quote

Mona Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 That'sjust brought back a horrible memory I was sat in the back of the car with my 8 month old daughter on my knee and 2 yr old strapped in a seat, well before days of health and safety She went into an fit, eyes rolled up to top of her head, I'm screaming my head off ,thinking what the hell is this Other half doing 90 mile an hour to townleys, with his hand on the horn, with a police escort Febrile convulsion..... The bitches didn't tell what you what that was in pre natal! Or what to do when your two year swallows a twopence piece ( learnt that lesson quickly, you'd be amazed at the strength of Mum, to haul her two year old up by the ankles, hang him upside down and smack him straight between the shoulder blades ) Didn't know about heimlech manouver till ten years later Quote

no balls Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Headline news "Girl from Horwich attacked by killer ladybirds" Corrected. We used to be seperate from the poor people on the other side of the hill, then you wanted our swimming pool as you didn't have a nice clean one of your own, bullied us and made us play nice with you. Shame really. Quote

Shame really. I always felt i needed a tetanus jab after a dip in Horwich baths, i'd rather take my chances in the river Croal.........anyway must dash Meg Ryans on, in her pomp. Quote

Funny, our swimming pool was the middlebrook (Croall to the uninitiated ) Orange on some days, with sticklebacks, red doctors and an unearthly smell, but the source of my best childhood memories Edited February 23, 2012 by Mona Quote
