Er, gobsmacked.....

[FredTransit]

I had a very odd happening related to me today, during a phone conversation.

 

The bloke that told me has worked on a few things I have worked on, so I know him but not very well. We have met a few times and he knows Gary and the vans.

 

He was out socially drinking last week, he'd had a few so details are patchy. He was stood in a bar and another man came up to him.

"you're in the film business aren't you?" he said yes,

"you might know my vans, I did all the vans in Ashes to Ashes, I am Fred"

"my vans are on the transit van club site" he (I?) continued, it's my security van that was in the finale of Ashes to Ashes"

 

WTF???

 

At this point the bloke who related this to me lost it, saying he now knew the other bloke was talking bollocks, and let slip "Fred's a bird".

Now, I have no reason disbelieve the person who told me this, but just don't know what to do with the information

The 'imposter' has clearly never met me, and his minimal research about me vans obviously didn't throw up the information that he was er, the wrong gender to be me!

 

What's all that about???

[trigger]

FRED HAZ STALKER!

[Minimad5]

Your some what of a celebrityAnd people wanting to be you is sometimes a good thingI guess being a Godess of Transits makes you a "wanted item"

[Rusty Pelican]

Odviously so awestruck by you he needs to pretend to be the greatness he perseives you to be , blokes a twat , and one id worry about

[FredTransit]

yeah but he didn't even make the effort and put on a dress. No wait, neither do I but you get what I mean....

[fiatdaft]

lolz what a twat,i have been threatend with myself before,as in i'm gonna get ***** **** to come and do you in.as we say in scotland fannybaws !

[Minimad5]

You should try get this guy back to the pub (make sure you are not alone incase he tries being abit shifty)and just ask him what he was playing at.

[FredTransit]

I was thinking of dressing up nice (getting the girls out and all) and go looking for him. Can't wait for him to introduce himself....

[Minimad5]

You Go Girl !

[FredTransit]

"hi I'm Fred, my vans have been on Ashes to Ashes""No I'm Fred and I think you will find they are my vans....."

[Minimad5]

Think i have found ya' man

 

[saabhappy]

Not being a girl I dunno how you deal with this, but I'd keep well away - he sounds well odd.

[FredTransit]

To say I am bemused is an understatement. Why? Why? Why?

[Minimad5]

Yeah he may stalk you afterwards and find out were you live.Or break into one of your vans and lay there ... waiting .. smelling the drivers seat , praying that you return to the van soon./ scaring myself \

[FredTransit]

and lay there ... waiting .. smelling the drivers seat

OK, where were you last Wednesday???

[HillmanImp]

I remember listening to the radio one time and some chap had been going round saying that he was Vernon Kay's brother to try and pick up women (?). One bird got his number and Vernon Kay rang him up live on air going 'Alright mate, i hear you are Vernon Kay's brother' the chap was 'yeah i am' and Vernon replied 'Hi Steve, its Vernon here, you sound a bit different.......'Where was this anyway? If its anyone on here we could try and locate them on the Autoshite members map or just point fingers at some poor sod in the local area (unless its Leeds).

[Minimad5]

haha !Eerm last wednesday I was actually spending time with my Girlfriend (for once)And i'm sure were ever this pub is located it's far too far, for me to even fake being you.

[pogweasel]

I spent last wednesday watching re-runs of "How Clean is Your House" on Moar4. So it's not me.

[Cavcraft]

I expect it's some Walter Mitty type dickhead who was just trying to impress someone and it backfired.

He's probably heard of your reputation and wanted to be the pub hero as it were.

I'm sure there's a (relatively) innocuous reason (as above) for this brain donor to have said such a thing but if not call aout the Autoshite Team and we'll all come down and kick his bleedin head in, or something like that

 

 

*Edit: Ps, it wasn't me. Last Wednesday I was down in Pogglesville in a pub, pretending I owned a Talbot Solara to impress some RED HOT CHIX.

[FredTransit]

the Autoshite Team

Don't they tool about in a dodge space van with a red dulux stripe on the side?

[Cavcraft]

Not this lot. They tool about in Bedford CFs and Metro vans looking well 'ard

[FredTransit]

How disappointing, not transits then?

[Cavcraft]

We're not hip enough for Transits and I sold my pikey replica a while back now.Can I be the wheel man if we pull this off? I'm too fat and old for violence

[Rusty Pelican]

Sherpa,s for this lot , transits too good

[FredTransit]

I think I am gonna have to find out which pub this was, but maybe if I go down in the bullion van he might know I am there.....

[Minimad5]

Would it be too far if we all hid in the pub dressed as fred transit and when the unknown wanna be Fred Transit walks in we jump out like some kind of man man's wet dream and attack him ?

[FredTransit]

ROFLMAO!! A whole pub full of me.....

[Tayne]

.

[j-j]

Would it be too far if we all hid in the pub dressed as fred transit and when the unknown wanna be Fred Transit walks in we jump out like some kind of man man's wet dream and attack him ?

To me that generates a monty python type of dance sequence with loads of men in dresses...but then again , it's me..

[FredTransit]

I just knew you lot would have a mad take on this....
