Thread | The Human Body is amazing
at 20:13 9 Dec 2024
In the way home this evening my daughter and I witnessed a cyclist vs car collision. Daughter, being first aid trained immediately demanded we stop and help, so we did.
An eager young fellow in an Audi A4 failed to observe a cyclist with flashing light on his cycling helmet, wearing one of those bright white hi vis good crossing a roundabout, until it was too late.
I heard the collision and saw a bike go flying, but did not witness the collision itself.
What I did see was the outcome;-
cyclist in shock, no apparent broken bones
One possible Audi A4 write off - bonnet concertina'd, windscreen smashed (where cyclist had landed), bumper caved in, grille smashed and one door mirror decapitated.
999 said ambulance would take an hour, so I took the cyclist to A&E, offered to stay with him but he declined.
Another witness also stopped and we made sure everyone exchanged details.
If you saw the Audi you would imagine the cyclist unconscious and in a very bad way. The Human body is amazing. |

Thread | 40 year school reunion
at 20:38 22 Sep 2024
Attended mine on Friday, drove 110 miles to attend unsure as to who would be there. Had a great evening, way better than expectations.
The reason for posting is this....
In our last year at school a friend of many of us died in a collision on Birkfield Drive whilst cycling home from school.
Found out on Friday two of the guys go and clean his grave each year; dedication and friendship above and beyond, I salute them.

Thread | Morsy - 4th inductee to an exclusive club
at 19:24 21 Sep 2024
If I am correct he's the 4th member of the "Three Tier Club", that is players who have scored for Ipswich in 1st, 2nd and 3rd tier.
Hail to the Captain!
Who at the other three? Anyone? [Post edited 21 Sep 2024 19:24]

Morning loverly morning - looks like Manchester is going to live up to its two
I've not been into Manchester City centre since I moved away from that great city in 2000, so looking forward to that. Wish I'd pressed ahead with my week ended idea instead of getting up at this time to drive up.
Hey ho.
I watched the city of Manchester (as was) campus grow as I commuted between where I lived and where I worked in that last year thete, so I'm looking forward to finally seeing and experiencing what is now Etihad campus.
Hoping to bump into some colleagues I used to work with (Citeh fans) but don't really think it probable in a crowd of over 50,000, unless they decide to come looking for me.
Not going to comment on who should start etc, I place my faith in McKenna, I just want us to be competitive and score, ideally a L1 hero, but please no spanking. I was at the 9-0...
COYB!

Thread | Citeh A - minibus from London spare seats
at 14:37 15 Aug 2024
Due to the innovative way that football tickets are sold these days v dates of the best deals for train transport I took the foolish decision to borrow a 9 seat minibus. (From myself, or rather my employer)
As it stands there's still a few seats left, and every extra passenger reduces the cost for all;- fuel (tank and a half), M6 toll, parking (already paid for) and a contribution to Charity (Cystic Fibrosis Trust) as not being charged for hire.
Plan is:-
07:00 departure from Surrey Quays shopping centre, which is next to Canada Water Station (London Overground and Jubilee lines)
Working on 5 hours journey including stops
Return same day
PM if interested

A Shadow in the Clouds Mastermind (was on BBC)
- watched from the start them carried on, on the basis that I'd started so I'd finish...
Do not watch - I have watched so you don't have to.
Mastermind (Netflix)
- Has some famous names in cast, never heard of it before, based on a true story, and to my juvenile sense of humour hilarious in parts. One of which left me in tears and gasping for air.
