Couldn't resist sharing this with you all

The company I work for produce a quarterly internal news magazine with the staff contributing most of the articles.

I was asked to write a piece on the costs involved with running a subaru

To cut a long story short the editor used a bit of artistic license and imposed my face onto this old picture of Richard Burns when he was with Subaru, to be used in the article.

Now the slight (but IMPORTANT for the purpose of this merry tale) difference between me and RB is that RB is around 6'3" or whatever and I'm a short *** at 5'8" (He's probably a slightly better driver too )



Now there is a (trying to be politically correct here) 'vertically challenged' guy who works for the company (4'10).

The minute he saw the above pic in the magazine he phoned me asking where I found such small pretty girls He was serious

That was followed by calls from 2 other staff asking how I'd managed to accquire a drive for the Subaru team

Makes you wonder

thats nothing my brother conducts a brass band out in the wilds of derbyshire i wont say which one for obvios reasons.
anyhow they take there playing very seriously and have divisions from which you can be promoted and relegated (yes just like football).
this entails trips all over the country to competions most notably one to Wales.
before i continue let me explain that although the band members are all smart enough to read music and play to a very high standard
some of them come from lets say intellectually challenged enclaves in the peak district.

Half way through the trip one of the organiser got on to the microphone and jokingly asked if everyone had remembered their passports.
the response was fairly uniform ie groaning at the obvious joke bar one young lad with a very sheepish expression who piped up in with a genuine note of alarm that he didnt think he would need it
The organiser thinking quickly on his feet immeadiatley admonished hhim and cooked up a cunning plan.

As it was too far to return home they told him that he would have to hide him in the baggage compartment under the coach till they had "cleared customs".
So thats what they did parking up at a service station to give the illusion of a border crossing and let him out a few miles later.

I dont know if they ever told him the truth or not

Think he may have been called mickey and lived here
