We all have one that stands out. I’ll go first shall I?
South Shields 1995. A pub which I think was called Kirkpatricks.
We had just been for a Chinese on Sea Road, then landed in Kirkpatricks, downed a few sips of beer and my guts just turned over. There was no holding it in, it had to come out.
The missus looked at me with a scrunched up face as if to say “surely not you”
I just couldn’t help but laugh as this putrid stench filled the air, Geordies turning around wondering who had done it, the missus pointing at me “ it was him”
They are a tough bunch up there, but I am telling you I was there when grown men just left their pints and walked out, hurling abuse at me as they left. I took out 90% of the customers with one fart.
My best fart by along way.
I popped up to a solicitors in Shields a few weeks ago, it wasn’t far from Kirkpatricks and as I spoke to the solicitor I wanted to tell him of the fart I did over the road many years earlier . I bottled it in the end, but we are getting on well and I know it will only be a matter of time before I point to the pub over the road and recall the story.

The funny thing is, I kinda want to drop one of those again so I can relive the horror one last time.
You did ask.

To my horror, the singer then recoiled and started accusing various band-members of the heinous crime which took a good while to disperse.
I felt so ashamed.
But so proud.
There was nobody about and as I looked in the window I let rip a tumultuous fart .......one of those that has been rumbling for ages and the relief that it's finally ready is like an instant recovery from a year of constipation.
To fully dispel the offending item and in a moment of mindfulness and pure relaxation I cocked my leg like a dog and revelled in it. Godspeed to the outer Methane layer or wherever they go .
I turned around to walk away and hadn't noticed this stunning lady of about 28 years old directly in the line of fire who had patiently waited ,keys in hand ,to open the shop thinking I wanted to get in and view something...(she had come over from the little bijou shop opposite without my noticing)
Out of sheer embarrassment I went to run away......she stepped to the side to aid my escape at exactly the same moment that I went to sidestep her .Like Boris Johnson knocking a kid rugby player flying i sent her sprawling across the floor .......and just kept running .
I was mortified .
The next day my wife and I went out to dinner and had just finished our main course when the reserved table next to us was suddenly occupied by a lady and young gentleman . You guessed it !
I was so embarrassed that I kept looking away and scrunching up my face so she didn't recognise me and my wife is saying loudly "why are you making those silly faces " . The lady at the next table didn't say a word but I could tell she recognised me.
We didn't have a desert but I have always thought that she must have told her husband "that weirdo old man who was making faces was the one who farted on me and knocked me down running away "
Well the bottle of wine from the night before had finally worked it's magic resulting in one of those farts that just explodes so hard it actually hurts.
The result, everybody in stitches including the CTO.
Once we all had gathered our senses (the odd chuckle carried on all afternoon), we actually got the the answer we needed to move the project forward.
A man has to have goals in life, after all.
I believe you 100%
I'd pushed the boat out and spent big on one of those Charlie Bigham meals, a satay curry, as it was on offer (but still friggin expensive).
It was on its date, not over, when I opened it, but the satay sauce bag part of it was puffed up like a pillow about to explode. The wife told me not to be so damn stupid, throw it away, but I'd spent a whopping 6 or 7 quid on this bloody thing and needed to know what all the fuss was about. Cooked it and started eating it - tested very off, like it was curdled or something, but maybe it's meant to be like that, I thought. Maybe it's just a damn posh satay, I thought.
Determined to get my money's worth, I pressed on.
Couple of hours later the stomach starts gurgling a bit.
I took a phone call and was sitting on the stairs chatting away when I felt a minor fart approach, but no, actually it was liquid shit that then smashed it's way out of my backside, with no proper warning at all. Truly indecent.
No offence, Mr Bigham, but never again. That was horrific.
Remind me to tell you the non-fart-related Frankie Howard incident sometime...
