She's OK, thanks. A bit shaken up but otherwise fine.

It was a young girl who pulled out on here and driving less than a year. It will have wrecked her insurance for a long time i suspect. The wife's car will need the whole passenger side repairing from front bumper to rear bumper.

Glad she's ok duke
There seems to be a fair few that have had crashes lately with people who have only been driving for months and not years...there has got to be a way of lessening these statistics...maybe a couple of years of driving with a adult in all conditions and then allowed too take a test. This system does not work!

He wasn't mate he was definitely on his own brand of insanity and looked like he had just escaped from the funny farm.

Probably only wearing one shoe, can't be sure/remember what I've been doing most of the time mate. (wasntme)
However it can't be me; - no one would mistake me for "Mid 30's", not for a long time.

I was just thinking that a number of my ex colleagues went on to develop serious mental conditions following active service. Mid 30's could easily make the "big bloke" you described possibly another victim of the Crusades.

Went to the docs and i thought they would produce an xray we could have a look at. No we have a piece of paper that someone has written one sentence on. Which says yes he has broken his wrist before NO SHIT and one bone looks oddly misshaped. Great so the doc says i can send you to a specialist to get a better look at your wrist . Would you like me to do this , No its fine i suffer in pain doing everyday things YES get them on the blower and sort it.

Its only stressful when your not working and the money runs low. Other than that its just like any other job really, just a few benefits of not having to do HR and tram building crap.
