It's opposite the church, appropriately enough, as it was used to
store coffins.

Dodger was literally at the end of our road once on his RBR travels,
when we lived in Greenfield.

 

I could not understand this *at all*. I must have been just ahead of
you, and was thinking: "What the **** are they closing *this* lane for
when the accident is all on the hard shoulder on the *other*
carriageway? Fuckwits.

Ah yes. I saw cars in front of me swerving, and thought: "Ey-up..."
and moved into the outside lane, and yes, bloody great piece of
luggage in the middle of the carriageway. And a quarter of a mile
further on, some spazz on the hard shoulder, desperately trying to
rope down the remainder of the luggage on the roof-rack of his Xsara
Picasso (I think it was).

I really, really hope that he had all his holiday valuables in that
case. Of all the luggage on his overloaded French POS, I hope that
this was the one he really didn't want to lose. If I'd hit the bloody
thing I wouldn't be typing this now.

 

Mind you, he was actually looking for Aberdeen.....

 

When I had my palette rearranged (at the age of 18) as I was being
wheeled into theatre I looked at all the machines and said "ah - the
machines that go beep! Jolly good".

At which point they stuck the needle for the general in my arm and I
went byebye.

I don't think they were very amused.

Phil.

 

Sounds like a brush with death.

 

Don't paint such a gloomy picture.

 

Well, I didn't realise he was coloured.

 

Just remembered - sometime after this I came across a road sign
"Danger - Slow turning vehicles", then rounded the bend to see a
Harley Davidson dealership.

Near Ryall, iirc.

"Low flying motorcycles!" would be more likely, shawly.

 

Damn. I need to oil my way out of this one.

Ah, that's Bier, as in English, rather than Bier, as in Deutschland!

A Queensland beer used to advertise itself as, "The big, big beer
with the gold, gold top." The anti-drink-driving mob eventually got
around to ads featuring, "The big, big bier with the cold, cold top."

Ah, that'll be why you didn't visit me when I was in St Thomas's

You ****.

P.

 

I was in the corridor of an A+E in Italy, awaiting ministration, and a
PC next to me on a trolley blew up.

The x-ray equipment was somewhat primitive, seemed to consist of
someone taking a radioactive source out of a box briefly.

Carabinieri or di Stato?

 

Aye. That and the fact that I didn't know you were there.

What have you done now?
