I'm surprised you can still stand to subscribe to that group. I've seen that before. There is a further bit when they get down to him and he's standing up. A bit bruised and battered but amazingly fine.
Er, dunno. I try not to read threads on urc too carefully.

That's what was funny about it. I mean he'd just fallen God knows how far, over rocks, down shingle and did a few somersaults for good measure, hit the bottom, didn't move at all whilst concealed in the grass and his mate says "Are you alright" LOL - It's still funny.

I did that when I was about fourteen, coming home from the town library. As the bed of the lorry came across towards my head I thought better of playing that game and stepped off into an athletic tuck and roll across the pavement. The pushbike only did it that once, but I lived to think about it the next time - pushing/carrying the remains of my bike six miles home left plenty of thinking time.

It's a horrible feeling when you're reading through posts, wince at a mistake, then realise it is one of yours. I'm done bemoaning my lost youth now. I like here and now.
