We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Lobster
saying something like:

When my left foot stepped on the hoop, it immediately flipped up
perpendicular to the ground. By this time, my right foot was already
moving through the air, and entered the hoop, which was firmly anchored
to the ground by my body weight.

All within a single ohnosecond, I stumbled, and as my right foot came
off the ground, the hoop was yanked up and over my foot by the force of
my left leg moving forward.

At this point my upper body was still making onward progress at walking
pace, while woefully at the same time my ankles were firmly anchored
together by the plastic hoop. So naturally, down I went in the manner
of a felled telegraph pole.
Had an accident at work?

You keep every penny!

Oh I hate those. Joys of flu (now getting better) is watching daytime TV
semi comatose (that's the right way BTW and thank heavens for Virgin channel
and infinite Star Trek).

So many adverts. One was a woman (it's always women???) getting tangled and
tripping on some some banding tape as another poster mentioned. OK - that
does point towards sloppy procedures.

But another, some other woman (??) slipping on a washed floor. FFS - don't
her eyes work?

Why are we unable to find the happy medium between "Asbestos company doesn't
give a rat's" and "stupid pillock can't see water on floor".

Biggest mistake they ever made was allowing solicitors to advertise. No-win,
no fee has it's place but the advertising just encourages the morons.

which is reflected in spiralling insurance costs on yer car ...
