Drove upto Gretna Green to get married.
Hired a brand new Vauxhall Vetra Estate (50 miles on the clock), filled up with the luggage and picked up the best man, me sister and of course the wife-to-be.

We drive up from Swansea to bonnie-Scotland, which is a good 10 hour drive at least. It's also a bit of a killer when there is torrential rain too, so we stopped in the 1st services in Cardiff for breakfast. Once done, we carry on driving, unaware that we had indeed picked up a stowaway.

My sis is sitting in the back seat directly behind me and we're making good time (about halfway between Birmingham and Manchester). Suddenly me sis shouts;

"Oh my fucking god! There's a fucking bird in the car!"

"Oh yeah, sure there is. Sure you just haven't dropped a brownie you fattie?"

"No, there's a fucking sparrow or something under your seat!"

After 5 minutes of her saying this we eventually agree to pull over in the next services and check this out. Myself and me sis hop out of the car into horizontal rain, and I glance under the driver's seat, right at this bird. I look at the bird and go "Uh?", and the bird looks and me and goes "Cheap?", then starts flying around the car like crazy. The other two jump out into the rain and the four of us end up standing outside the car with all the doors open trying to coax a welsh sparrow out into Stoke-on-Trent. 10 minutes later the sparrow hops out and we eventually get into the car whilst being fucking soaking.

Wedding went well :D
