How daft can one get? That is a question I asked myself last Friday afternoon. The Florescent strip lighting was on the blink and I decided to drive to the local DIY store and buy a new one. After first calling in at the grocery shop to pick up a couple of items for my wife I drove to the DIY store. Now this is a large new store with ample parking space and on arriving I parked in a lot far from any other vehicle. After getting out of the car I went to the front and inspected the touch up work I had done (chips made by flying stones) on Tuesday. Now this is were the daft part comes in to the story, noticing that there was a flower bed separating the parking lots from each other and being lazy sod and not wanting to go all the way round them to get to the entrance I sprang over the flower bed and to my surprise landed on my back at the side of the car in a semi conscious conditions. I had the feeling that I had been hit with a baseball bat. After picking myself up and making sure that no one had seen what I had done I checked my self for the damage. I was very lucky no loss of teeth, nose not broken, glasses not damaged or broken, there was no blood flowing but I can tell you I felt bloody awful. What had I done? I had leapt straight into a large METAL advertising board. Now how the hell can one not see such a bloody large thing like that is beyond me. I was so bent on inspecting the car that I had not seen the F#/ing thing. I have done some bloody silly things in my life but that beats them all. On arriving home and telling my wife what I had done, she just couldn’t believe it, and after inspecting my face and finding that I had only a thick lip (badly bruised inside) a surf wound on my forehead and a whooping head ache we both couldn’t stop laughing. On Wednesday I had to go into hospital and have my hand cut open again. After having the stitches removed a week on Friday the infection had got worse and the swelling larger then before. My hand was hurting me so I rang the doctor for an appointment for the next day but he sent me to the hospital were they once again cut out the infection, so I am now back to square one. The stitches will be removed on the 18th and I hope that was it!!! That was my week and what a week it was. Hope you have a good laugh about a silly sod like me (I deserve it) The photo is the large METAL advertising board. Take care out there were ever you are. Tshüss

I remember once running after a drunk driver who had escaped from me. He ran towards a carpark and at the last minute he veered off and then back through the carpark again. Thinking he was mad I continued my straight course to intercept him and tripped over a low hanging chain barrier he had run around. The landing hurt and severely sprained my wrist. I was too focused on catching him I did not see the barrier.
Now that was a pearler... sorry, but I couldn't help giggling like a school girl while reading that post.
Well done... ask Broadstreet about sliding across the grass of his arse outside the ACC many moons ago.. now there's a story to be told.
