What Is Your Favourite Darts Story
When approaching passport control on the French side to catch the ferry home, I asked travel companion Paul “The Cannonball” Carter to drive closer so I could reach to pass over the passports and he hit the kiosk. We were jammed by the bumper with the wheels off the ground on the high kerb so could not move. I had to push from the passenger seat onto the kiosk to try get us off the high kerb and the guy inside the kiosk pushed on the car. We had tears rolling down our faces as we drove away.
