UNBELIEVABLE, OMG, how lucky am I

Last week I listed a bike on ebay, it sold, and the buyer contacted me to say he would collect it today, he duly rang my bell, as arranged, at 12.30, I have strong connections business wise in the DIY world, as have one or two other SVS, imagine my utter shock, when i opened my door, to be faced with...............DAVID TAYLOR, THE INVENTOR OF THE LADDERMATE

Wow!

I wish you had called me. Did you get a photo and/or an autograph to prove it?

ASPERS! You just took one hell of a beating!!!

Dont worry mark, I got the works, he stopped for a cuppa before setting off back to wakefield and allowed ne to scan his original laddermate pamphlet from 1994, his, spoonful of sugar runner up piece in the mirror from 2002 (alan sugar helped him with international patent law!!)

likes his tea strong, and he left me with these wise yorkshire words

hear all, see all, say nowt,

eat well, sup well, pay nowt

do nowt fer nowt, unless tha dus it fo thee sen

the thought of his 82 year old crack hugging my former razor like saddle fills me with pride

I don't get it.

Quite straight forward DS

I listed my second hand bike on ebay

winning bidder, legend, inventor, buys bike

he turns up in person to collect said item

link below is my listing on ebay

You got me there!

Hopefully I'll be meeting that fit bird off the 'real hustle' got through to national poker final at 'dusk till dawn'
Also Sheddy Terrigham will be there, guess best not to mention I hate United.....and Spurs

apart from mark, no one seems to be happy for me, why do people have to talk about themselves instead of letting me have my moment in the sunshine

They just dont realise what it means to meet a legend like that Lee.

I told everyone at work today and they couldnt believe it. They are all jealous. Have you thought about writing an article for DIY Weekly with your picture?

I still cant believe I was in the same area and missed out.

al contrario as my good friend USA Shrimp would say.
(See things must be going bad if I have to name drop Richard )

I am delighted for you, if a little jealous.
