Well, I felt like a right numpty

Frank the tank

I was walking along to collect the motor from having had it's MOT, when inexplicably I stumbled on the edge of the pavement. I was carrying a bag of shopping in which was a bottle of wine (for Mrs tank, I my add) which I didn't want to break. As I went over everything went into slow motion and I almost rescued myself but it wasn't to be, and I sort of slid along the deck, ummph!!

Tore my new jeans, wrecked my jersey and dented my pride,but hey, I sved the wine.

This gent who must have been in his mid-late twenties came to my assistance asking if I was alright, Yeah thanks mate apart from losing my dignity and feeling like an senior citizen.

As for Mrs Tank the reaction was Thanks duck.

Sorry for laughing, but your description was good enough to spark my imagination, and it looked funny as feck!

I have a really bad habit of laughing at others misfortune/pain... :twisted:

Was it one of those typical old person spills when you don't get your hands out quick enough!?

My Brother had a similar one, crossing the road quickly as a car was coming. He tripped up but realising that he had his hands full tried to roll into it. He has a plate and several screws holding his collar bone together now. Numpties the pair of you

There's a pavement opposite where i work, often catches people a cropper, council have fixed it but keeps popping back up :?
Hilarious as it is, if a more frail person goes down it could end pretty badly....
Glad the wine's ok

Thanks for the good wishes, :roll:

After "sacrificing"my dignity and self esteem in order to save the wine,I get home from work to discover Mrs Tank has opened it and is about to start putting it to death.

Now that's what I call gratitude.

I can taste berries, bruised plums, grazed knee-caps and...
...it has a reflection of vertical smugness.
