    Narrow Escapes

    I once drove a motobike at 45mph into a brick wall in fog on the moors just above Oughtibridge, went straight over the handlebars and landed in a cow pat without a scratch. Was on my way to Crewe to see the reds but never made it. Managed to drive all the way back home to Poggy with the handlebars pointing at 45 degrees to my direction of travel, and a wierd metallic grating sound coming from the front wheel.

    Was once driving at 95mph on a motorway in south Germany when the bonnet flew up and plastered itself against the windscreen. Managed to find a 0.5mm crack to peer through and navigated to the hard shoulder before lighting the best cig I have ever had in my entire life.

    Was once skiing on a narrow track and has to stop because of an accident in front. A jam built up of people standing around waiting for the accident to clear. Then a guy came hurtling round the corner faster than a very fast thing. There was no room to pass and no time to stop. Somehow, inexplicably, he managed to ski between me and another guy who were standing with our skis about 4 inches apart. As he disappeared into the distance it became clear he only had one leg, and therefore one ski, otherwise it would have been carnage.

    Cheers Ian for storytime

    That's set me up for the night .... just ready to get some kip. Off to bed now. I hope I'm not dreaming about aborted trips to Crewe.


    By the way, I think you need to add a little something to your signature, don't you?!

    It's not bad if you book, and go a bit later

    But it does get very full and sometimes that means waiting a bit. It also means a sort of moral obligation to get up and leave the table when finished, rather than sit around having a drink.

    The other alternative would be to go really early (6 - 6.30 if possible) before the ordinary people start coming in.

    We can always go in the pub for a drink afterwards and I know Laura will be welcome in there.

    Well if we sort a date out with Kev, I'm sure we can go earlier if needs be .... as you well know I am a lightweight tho, so if it's an early one, I'll be home watching MOTD by 10.30!!

    Once nearly got beaten up in a bar in Zermatt

    Starting chatting to a lady in the bar, bought her a drink and chatted about 10 mins, and it turned out she had broken her arm skiing and it was in plaster. Then her husband turned up, an American footballer from Texas. He made the Matterhorn look like Stainborough Low. I explained that because of the lady's vertically positioned arm, in the plaster, I though she was waving to me. The guy fell for it and we had several beers late into the night.

    Good night!
