What was your favourite quote of the weekend?

i think i know what Jason farrows was, my mrs standing next to his car at night when he had all the lights on, she turned to Jason and asked "wheres your car then?" and actually ment it, bless her think she was tired by that point.

 

Mine has to be "its your fuse gone, change it and we will see"

That was absolutely fecking hilarious!!!

 

Bless him!!

Talking of the same young man - when he said that Pedobear should be Pablitos new name I almost pissed my self. You are a bit of a bear and working with kids just made it an absolute classic. Plus the fact that it was the name of a Japanese cartoon character!!

 

Having it chanted as well just cracked me up. I can remeber waking up in my tent in the morning and the first thing that came into my head was Pedo Pedo Pedo Bear, Pedo Bear, Pedo Bear, Pedo Pedo Pedo Bear, Pedo, Pedo Bear!!

 

And I burst out laughing.

 

It's so wrong, it's right!!!!

Can I just add guys that I was in the marquee with my son, I don't remember there being any comments that were very offensive in regards to minority groups or other things, I am very protective of my son (and my daughter) but she wasn't there, if I had thought the conversation was too bad for him to be present at, I would have taken him out the situation. I do however have a hearing loss, so maybe didn't catch some of what was being said.

 

I do think the swearing could have been toned down a little, and did at one point say to Ian Jnr, "I am glad your mum and sister didn't attend with us", but that was just a load of drunken blokes having a laugh. I have told Jnr that he is going to hear things like this in school and elsewhere, and I know he is going to use bad language with his mates, come on we all did because we all thought it was big at the time, but believe me, he knows he doesn't use it to other people family or friends where he can be heard by me or his mum and sister or anyone else for that matter, it stays on the playground, he is almost 16 any how, so will be able to make his own mind up in regards to these things.

If anyone has heard him say or do anything offensive, please let me know, and I can have a chat with him and tell him he was out of line.

 

I AM IN NO WAY OFFENDED BY JOKES ABOUT DISABILITY. Some disabled people need to wake up, they are disabled, so what, get on with it, your still here, lighten up, just learn to be quick and give as good as you get back.......lol. The fact that I was injured in an ambulance is funny as fook, and most people laugh not believing it at first. I am to blame for a lot myself, I always tell people that I went from paramedic to paraplegic in one easy step......forgive the step pun.......lol.

 

I have heard nothing over the weekend that would make me say "right, I won't be going to JAE next year". Although I realise that some have been offended and I respect their points of view.

Actually having never met you before Ian, I must say you did make me laugh when I asked you how you ended up in a wheelchair!! It was one of the most memorable and funny things anyone has ever said to me because of the way you came out with it!! Then I felt really bad because you made me laugh at your misfortune!! This somehow made it all the more funny but at the same time I found myself admiring you spirit and get on with it attitude.

 

To see the relationship you and your son have was also quite humbling when you told me that the accident was 16 or so years ago. The penny dropped that this young lad had never seen you walk.

 

He annoyed the crap out of me at the weekend!!!! But I would never judge him until I could walk a thousand miles in his shoes. He's a good lad and even though I never go on facebook, he sent me a friend request and we've been chatting ever since! Looking forward to having a giggle again next year.

 

Both of you guys are an inspiration! And no you are not allowed to compete in musical chairs next year!!!

Thanks for your kind words bud.

 

If wit was sh*t mate, I'd be constipated.......lol. Hey mate, don't ever feel bad at laughing at me, laugh with me, someone famous can't remember who, but must have been a Scouser because he was right, once said laughter is the best medicine, I happen to believe this is true, it must be, because I came home from JAE with sore sides because I had laughed so much, but it was one if not the best weekend I have ever had. Ha Ha, you got the musical chairs joke.......pmsl.

 

Cheers Andy, he is mainly a good lad, but if he is annoying you, just tell him mate, he (or I) will not be offended in any way shape or form if you tell him to bugger off and give you a break........lmao.

 

Not quite true buddy, I was still able to get around on crutches until my second operation on my spine, which was 2000 years ago......oops sorry, in the year 2000. So he has seen me walk albeit on crutches. I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER be able to do half the things I do if it wasn't for all the things he does for me, and he never complains about it. But he hasn't known me without my disability, and sometimes I regret that, because I would love to still be a paramedic and give my kids something to be proud of.

 

Ian Jnr and Yvonne his sister have put themselves into wheelchairs in order to play wheelchair handball, when I was a little fitter, they have grown up with disability, so do not see it as a disadvantage. They get the pee taken out them by other kids because I use a wheelchair, but at the end of the day, kids are cruel, and I bet they both give back as good as they get.

 

In fact, next year, I will transfer into a chair, and there will be a prize for anyone who gets into my wheelchair and under their own steam makes it from where we were on our stand to the accessible toilets and back unaided. That will be such a scream, because I bet a lot of people would think it easy, and imagine trying it drunk!!!!

 

I think the weekend was so exciting for him (without making excuses), he was a little overwhelmed with his two favourite things, meeting new friends like yourself, and cars, both very passionate things for him. He also made the comment to me that he is so proud to be your friend because you treat him like an adult, which he respects. Is Steve on Facebook mate? If he is would you mind asking him if Ian can add him as a friend too please, you Steve and Pabs were his heroes over last weekend mate.

 

Mate, I for one cannot wait for JAE 2012, I know we will do more laughing, and if it turns out to be anything like this year, we for 2 will be over the moon, goin g to try and some way bring my missus and Yvonne Ian's sister.

 

Thanks mate

I had just landed at JAE and went into the tent and was meet by Pablo and thats were I heard my favourite quote "Gary do you want a burger and some tea" now that was music to my ears lol. Thanks Pablo you are a top bloke:clap:

 

 

 

 

 

because I would love to still be a paramedic and give my kids something to be proud of.

 

silly bugger! im sure their proud every day!!!!!!!!!

silly bugger! im sure their proud every day!!!!!!!!!

 

lol, cheers buddy

this is all because you truly are a 100% top bloke :-) and we loves ya pal!!!!! xx

 

Cheers mate, it really means a lot to me, you guys are so nice.

i second that matey

 

Cheers Chris, I really enjoyed meeting you again, and our little chats over the weekend, and I really did appreciate your generosity when you said that if you had had 99 spec rear lights you would have given me them, I am sure that you would have. I love the new back end look of yours though mate, really nice. Groover is a top bloke.

Good times had by all mate, what a great weekend. And i know for a fact that your family are proud of you, for who you were and who you still are. Inspirational is not a strong enough word.

 

And i accept your challenge, I will attempt to make it to the loo in your chair when absolutely smashed... realistically i will struggle to even fit in your chair..(see pic in garrys post)

 

Gaz, if only the sodding kettle actually worked, i could have supplied you with piping hot, as opposed to lukewarm tea!

Thanks mate

 

That's very kind of you Ian, I'm glad you had a great weekend too. It's always the unexpected, random evenings that can turn into really memorable ones. Almost forgot - Kerry and Edd turned up with that super soaker full of Cherry Vodka!!

 

As for treating Ian Jnr like and adult - he deserves that as I expect he has had to grow up quite quickly and it's made him a great young man.

 

I spoke to Steve at the weekend to say come on and say hi but he had man flu and couldn't remember his password for the site!! Not sure if he's on facebook?

 

It would be good to meet the rest of the family next year mate.

 

See you there!!
