Don’t want to tag on to one on the joke thread with a true story so here it is.
Service bus waiting at the pier head for passengers off a ferry with a driver behind the wheel taking fares.
Bus nearly full and an uncouth figure shambles into the bus.
“ Mornin’ Duncan heading for Tob.”
“Sure thing”
” Can I sit behind the steering wheel for a bit?”
“ Yes why not”
“ Often fancied driving one of these things can I have a wee shot.”
“ Don’t see why not just take it easy till you get the feel of it. I’ m off for my tea break”
He starts the engine and starts driving off to the consternation of the tourists.
In fact he is the regular driver and they often used to play this.

Right, food time... 
That beef smells wonderful, and I've perked up no end. See you the other side...

Knew a coach driver who also owned a small passenger aircraft and the pilots license to fly it.Don’t want to tag on to one on the joke thread with a true story so here it is.

He unloaded the cases from the coach, onto the aircraft, then joined the passengers onboard. He got "more irritated" and vocal as time went on and the pilot not appearing. Saying what he'd be doing if they didn't show soon. He left his seat, made his way to the cockpit and proceeded to taxi to the runway.
He never saw the faces, but said the quietness was deafening in the cabin.

Well the evening has taken an eventful turn ...
Mundanely I had made tea. Mini cottage pies, mini burgers, sausage rolls plus other things.
Then son no. 1 passed out and I've taken him up to A&E; he landed face first so it's a CT scan, facial sewing and they want to keep him in for observation overnight.

Fabby dinner of that tomahawk steak, medium rare, along with a jacket potato and red cabbage and apple braised in cider. The garlic butter supplied with the steak was lovely on the potato along with the pan juices from the meat.
Can see why the original asking price was pushing £25 for that piece of steak, it really is fabulous, full of flavour and tender. That was one heck of a treat. Still plenty left for another meal and some sandwiches.
Christmas pud and custard to finish.
All I'll want later is a nice

Not like this, no. We're waiting on the results of a CT scan. It looks like he'd over-heated and was dehydrated. No alcohol involved.

Tell him not to over think things.
People always assume the worst, and it may just be overheating/dehydration.
