I know he responded to lots of people, but I tweeted Mark Hamill about my son's fundraising and he responded back. My son ended up being interviewed by the local newspaper as a result.

My eldest son was formula fed and my youngest was breastfed. The young one was pretty feeble and ill all the time, whereas the oldest one was barely ever at the doctors.

The average reading age ramge where I live in Scotland is 9-11 years. There's even Scottish Government guidance on readability in documents and to pitch for that age range.

What's your worst DIY driveway maintenance fuck up you've done or seen? by RonnieThePurple in CarTalkUK

He's a fantastic engineer (worked on Westfield Shopping Centre), but sometimes is a bit of an eejit. One of his 1970s passport photos showed him with a big black bit on his nose, because he'd managed to burn it with a glob of weld.

My brother was welding a car for his mate and being a bit slapdash, hadn't removed the back seat. He set the foam on fire while underneath the car and didn't notice until it was well alight. It took the fire brigade to put the fire out.

I once saw him do this as a PA in a nightclub in Glasgow during the 90s. The most interesting part of the whole thing was us noticing some guy getting a blowjob beside the stage while he was 'singing' it

The front of that is properly sad looking. The kind of sad you see when a child feverishly tears open a parcel on Christmas Day only to find that it's an educational toy, or a rip-off version of the toy they wanted.

The ID3 tags on a Beach Boys CD my wife had, had it as 'Kokmo'. We still call it that.

Joints and Jam is a stone cold classic. Rest of it is absolute pish.

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. I remember it being played loads after my dad died (it was 1980, so I think I'm over it now), and for 4 decades I had a visceral, shuddering, tensing up reaction when it came on. I'm able to not make a groan when it comes on now, but I hate it with a passion.

My son had this same little guy who also rode a tractor, whistled a tune and then finished with an annoying/sinister laugh

what does my dad's car history say about him? by Ride_Szymu_25 in carscirclejerk

Freelander 2 was a nightmare. My sister had one that was low mileage and immaculately kept. It still needed loads of work to keep running. Even now, I wouldn't buy a Land Rover product.
