    Oh dear did you hurt your finger again when you fell over? I hope the weather improves so you can get scooting again. I'm sick to death of rain where I live :mad:.

    I did:o
    Such is life.

    I once pushed ds in his pram right into a bollard - it was a big old fashioned pram and had a sun canopy up for the first time.....I’m not very tall and couldnt see over it - CRASH - felt a right wally in a crowded street....can’t remember if it was a bollard or bin but it was right in the middle of the pavement where it had no right to be getting in the way of new mums with big prams. Ds slept right through it - pram had a dent :eek:

    Hope your finger is ok - and the rest of you too.

  • I manage to walk into some scaffolding once and knock myself out, how I missed it I'll never know as it even had the bright foam padding around it to stop idiots like me walking into it and knocking themselves out :rotfl:

    Not exactly the same but I was on a Christmas night out years ago. About 6 of us were sitting round an upturned barrel being used as a table (it was meant to be, all the tables were upturned barrels). I stood up to go to the toilet and next thing I knew I was face down on the barrel. Just completely lost my balance and couldn't stop myself. Wasn't even that drunk (just a wee bit tipsy). I think the whole pub was in fits.
