Is that a pistol on his hip or is he just pleased to see you?? Must be the hat!! ;D
-
It later came back to haunt me....
Learnt my lesson and was not arrested again until 1999.
How did it haunt you?? Was the 1999 arrest connected??
-
The 1999 (wrongful) arrest was a shameful episode which so nearly brought the good name of Team Zarse into serious disrepute. It involved many pints of Normandy cider, a long flagstaff, the Mayor of Alencons bedroom and a goat. Seriously!
It is not for posting on a family website. I expect the story will come out at the champagne bar though.
-
I have to hear that one.
-
You obviously were not going fast enough
I know from experience that the vans the police use don’t do a 140mph. :o
But do they use helicopters? ???
-
No Heli copters , thas just not french .
You are only the second person who i have heard being nicked for speeding in france . One of my mates went too fast between toll booths on the new Le Mans to Alencon motorway and had an on the spot £80 fine . He paid it at the same time he paid the couple of quid toll !!
ZARCE - Did the Police offer you a telephone chat with the british consulate , its your european lawful right . could be breach of leislation their ? 8)

No way. They were far too busy beating f**k out of me in the cells with their trucheons to bother with the diplomatic niceties.
They did later give me a bit of paper that said "Your under arreste". I did not point out their spelling mistakes, it seemed churlish to.
-
Hey ZARCE , nothing too wrong with good old Police brutality >:(
-
No, but there again, I did ask for it. I seemed to vex them somewhat when they first started hitting me. I said they could hit me as much as they like but the would never, ever, stop the Brits getting pissed at Le Mans. And a right old pasting I got too.
But I was proved right about the getting pissed bit tho.
-
Get a bike , they cant catch you for toffee , even their bikes wont as they are limited to 100 hp and they wear cotton trousers and t shirts , ouch that will hurt when they come off .
DONT STOP , NEVER STOP........ unless you crash.... :'(
-
A bike would do no good as they got me when I was actually staggering into the hotel. I couldn't outrun the buggers on foot as I had smoked about 150 fags that day and was a bit short of breath. And I had drunk about twenty pints of strong tramps cider, so was a touch on the giddy side anyway.
-
NO COMMENT :o
-
BTW this was not really a motoring offence.
-
If it had been a motoring offence with the goat, the flagpole, and the mayors bedroom, it would have been unique :D
Did the commer feature anywhere in this one?
-
It was all a case of mistaken identity, just like Harrison Ford in the Fugitive. I managed to escape custody by cutting through the prison bars with a smuggled in file, hidden inside a Merguez baguette.
Free the Commer One!
Except this was a couple of years before I wisely invested in a commer.
-
this could be one of those rare occasions when investing in a Commer could be considered wise ;D
-
Good to see you're all a load of boozy Brits like me an my friends.
How many police are their at the circuit, and do they arrest people for just being drunk or does it have to be a serious offence?
BTW, how much is the most you've ever drunk at Le Mans, and have you ever tried a French liqeur called Cointreau (40%) mixed with Saint James rum (50%)?

The French CRS ( RIOT IDIOTS ) are there in their numbers, but then the visitors are a little boysterous ( if thats how its spelt ) .
Dont worry about the drunk thing , everyone is , but most have many years of experience over you ( and thats just the drinking bit )
I dont really fancy the strange drink though , its a reach for the toilet mix ?? .
Maybe one of the other lads on here can bring you something special if thats what you really want . GRIMBURGEN or something its called ........

I was in Brugges a couple of weekends back and saw some GRIMBERGEN so I've bought it to try over Xmas...

Personally NO. Thats this years fun ??
-
Yes we have had the pleasure of downing a few amber nectres with the afore mentioned nutters, but these are only a few of the many head cases that go to the great event each year. ;D ;D ;)
-
Met a lot of them first time last year. CRAZY,CRAZY, PEOPLE but fun to be around.
Paula.
-
Met a lot that I can't recall. I must get a visitors book!!!!!!

Sav, or stay sober :(
Have a great Christmas and a very drunken new year.
Brian and the rest of our crew.
-
Smokie, how was the Grimbergen????
Gilles, is there a supplier of Grimbergen in Le Mans should we all decide to risk trying it??
Maybve we should create a "Grimbergen Bar" that we can meet at on the Saturday night at 9pm (and yes....I'll try to make it thsi year!!)
-
I noticed it sitting untouched in the garage earlier today. I got quite a taste for Leffe Blonmde over Christmas. But I managed to try a Bier Noel (12% I think) which I bought a year or so back. It was gross.

Lovely stuff. I have a rapidly reducing case in the shed. I prefer Brun though (well I would)!

Ooh yeah, me too!! (must be something to do with our age Steve!!). It's the closest thing I can find in Carrefour to a good chewy ale (albeit still a long way off!!)
;D
-
I've yet to try Leffe Triple (8.4%), so I'll have a hunt around Carrefour in June - definatley a chewy beer.
-
Gotta try at least one bottle but don't do too many, it's like treacle with a built in hammer for the following morning!! Hence why I stick to Brune these days!
;D
