    I've tried it and frankly didn't enjoy it much

    On Monday I used "got hit by a car" :x Now I'm on 'absence monitoring' because about 6 weeks ago I was off with kidney stones. :roll: Perhaps I'll send human remains a copy of the x-ray & police report? :twisted:

    On Saturday, I did get hit by a car. Thus, college had one fewer pupils until today. Brilliant, except for the ridiculous amounts of pain I'm in...
    I know not where I am going, my future will decide. But it's not the destination, it's the glory of the ride.

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    About 2 months ago i sheared my rib muscles and the pain killers i was prescribed meant i could not drive or operate machinery...

    I use electric tow motors and fork trucks at work :?

    I could have cycled but i could not even walk or breathe without pain.

  • One guy at our work didn't come in one day as his water pipes had frozen (it was June!) Needless to say he doesn't work with us anymore. Bless him.

    I contracted pleurisy one time (I creaked every time I breathed and it was agony),so I went to see the Doctor - it took her all of 1 minute to work out what was wrong, and told me that there were two types of pleurisy: 'wet' and 'dry'

    I asked "which do I have?"
    she responded (I kid you not) "Are you dead yet?"
    "Errrr...... no?"
    "Well, it'll be dry then"

    :shock:
