Concorde used to burn the same amount of fuel getting from the terminal building to the start of the runway as the average family saloon car did in six months.
Once it had taken off it used to fly over my school during morning break and we'd all look up at it and say words to the effect of "there goes Concorde during the morning break again".

I think it used to fly at 10.30 on a Tuesday or Wednesday and the noise was so bad the doors would rattle.

That would make sense because the morning break at Hampton Hill Juniors is 10.45 until 11.05. Or at least it always used to be, before Cameron took over and broke the country.

As I lived in North-West London, the first time it flew directly over me was when I was standing on the Putney End at Fulham for our league game in 1982. Sneaking a look at Paul Parker, obviously.

Pah, my dad was a Concorde pilot and he used to give me a lift to school in it.
Trust me, there ain't nothing like starting the day off by given a stewardess a right good seeing to. School, best fookin days of your life laddie.

I once jumped off a moving train in India. My girlfriend didn't. It took us 6 days to find each other.

You've reminded me of when I jumped off a train at Three Bridges station in England.
It was the first time I'd been invited to tag along with my older Bro and his group of mates on one of their regular days out to the beach. I was only about 14 at the time and whilst chuffed with being inlcuded with the older group of "lads" I was still keen to impress. So as the train was coming into Three Bridges station I opened the door (you could in those days kids) and whilst the train was still moving fairly fastish I jumped on to the platform before any of the other lads to show them just how hard yet cool I really was. Unfortunately, it was the first time I'd ever done it and didn't realise that you had to actually run as soon as your feet hit the ground. I jumped and just planted my feet on the platform. Suffice to say I went arse over tit, smashing my legs and arms and banging my head on the platform thus making a complete twát of myself infront of everybody on the platform and the lads I was trying to impress. Still, I was very happy with the new nickname I got as a result, "Action Man".
Me and the missus went to thorpe park during school time without our kids. They still don't know. We went on all the rides without queuing. Mrs P nearly threw up. It was Brilliant.

Concorde never came to NZ. Instead the frogs sent down some secret service people. They blew up a boat and killed a man. Our local cops caught two of the frogs and they went to court where they were found guilty and sent to prison. The Frogs weren't happy, they started to threaten us. All our friends in Europe forgot about all our young men who died fighting in their backyard. We let the terrorists go to an island where they served a minimal sentence. When they returned home they were kissed and given medals. The frogs never said "pardon".

My mum and dad used to socialise with the Kray twins(yeah,I know) They went to the premiere of the cockney film Sparrows Can't Sing,starring James Booth and Barbara Windsor.My mum,who was a bit of a looker,attracted a bit of attention at the reception after (much to the amusement of my old dad).One old bruiser tried to hit on her,produced a polkadot handkerchief which contained the biggest fukkoff diamond rings you ever saw,obviously nicked."There you go sweetheart,pick one."My mum of course demured but this guy persisted.So Reggie comes across and says "Is this geezer botherin' you Mrs.C ,because if he is we'll take him upstairs and drop him out of the window."

Hello Clive.
