Hamilton Fire and Rescue Service Open Day

1. “Aye well, when I was a young man it was more impressive.”

2. “Own it like a boss son! Own it like a boss!” (no idea)

3.Kev's hopes of getting his gourmet burger from the van cooked medium rare were fading by the second.

4. “Fireman's pole!” ….snigger..
“Sliding down a fireman's pole!” ...snigger...
“Greasy fireman's pole!” ...snort..
“Stop it!”
“You stop it!”

5. Kevin would endlessly regale us with the night he had to rescue Katy Price (aka Jordan) from an inferno. Well, a bit of a fire......well her smoke alarm went off. But he manned up and dragged her out the building. Go Kev Go!

6.They do a grand job. Man and boy! I'd put money on him becoming a fire man.

Even given the dreadful weather I'd put the event down as a surprisingly huge success. Well done them (especially the guys that spent hours down on their knees in the wet while kids sprayed the cardboard fires, if I had done that I'd be hardly able to get up again.) The journey home on the M8 was like a powerboat race it was so wet.
