If you were a 14 year old boys bike, where would you be?

Well , I had son's friend's bike (someone sort the apostrophes for me :thanks:) for nearly 3 months until I eventually collared him and told him to take it home, whereupon he exclaimed, that's where it is!

I don't have yours though.
Just the comma to sort out now.


:thanks:

There was a joke years ago about a vicar who lost his bike in a similar way.

Convinced one of his parishioners had stolen it he decided on a hell fire and damnation sermon based on the ten commandments.

When he got to 'though shall not commit adultery' he remembered where he'd left his bike.

It's easily done; when I was about seven I rode my bike down to the local garage, bought some sweets then walked home. Two days alter I went looking for it in all the usual "leaving places" around our very large garden and slowly came to the conclusion that it wasn't there. The following day, went to the garage in Mum's Mini van and... there was my bike, still leaning against the office window. The garage man, Mr Parsons, said he'd had a good look over it but couldn't find anything wrong with it...

When I was ten, I took my dog to the shop, bought some sweets and came home. About three hours later a knock on the door. Someone had brought the dog home, I'd left her tied up to the lamp post outside the shop! :laugh:

If I was a boy's bike that was 14 years old I would be taking a well earned rest/retirement, maybe treating myself to a new set of tyres, ridding myself of all those stickers and getting lick of paint, maybe a nice bit of oil for my rusty old chain...

When I was that age my regular trip was up to Leeds/Bradford Airport to watch the planes and cross them of in my copy of 'Civil Aircraft Markings'.

Occasionally the bike malfunctioned but fortunately my Mother worked at a boarding school just down the road from the terminal so I could dump it there, cadge a lift home and rely on Headmaster Mr Smith to help me fettle it later.
