This is a question Lucky Escapes

Freddie Woo says: Looking back on it, the moment when we left the road because I was trying to get the demister to work, regaining control just in time to miss a tree probably wasn't my finest bit of driving, nor my cleanest pair of pants. Tell us about your lucky escapes

off with her head!
my first proper grown-up place on my own was in a high-rise block that had seen better days. after 6 years there, we(the other tenants and i) were told we all had to be out within a year, as the block was no longer fit for habitation. we all knew that very well. the close proximity of a train station meant wind would come up over the platform, then howl around the side of the building. this damaged pretty much all of the windows on that side. not only that, but the foundations were damaged and there were a multitude of structural problems. bouncy floors are just not right.
as we were all having to vacate, the council pretty much stopped doing repairs. this meant that i, like everyone on my side of the building, had to put up with damaged or broken window locks. on windy days, everyone's windows would fly open.
one night, i was watching telly, when my window blew open again. i had to stand on the sofa and lean halfway out of the window in order to reach it and pull it closed. twice the wind yanked it out of my hands. the third time, i managed to get a good grip of it and haul it closed, pulling my top half back inside and out of the wind. the second i fastened the window, the entire window and frame from the flat three floors up came crashing past, right where my head had been seconds before.
so yeah, that was me, almost decapitated.

tl;dr: shit window falls out and nearly takes my head off.

There may be little cliques and bickers on here
bit at least we can all come together and agree that the world would be a better place if you'd had your head cut off.

Come now, Doctor.
Surely the decent thing to do would be to belittle her for not owning her own home, with saltwater pool in the garden.
As it stands, you just come across as one of those terrible trolls that I've heard so much about.

See ... I've been horrid on here for fucking ages and it's still only a tiny percentage of witless crybabies who take it personally.
I mean ... they're more visible because they jump up and down and squeal all the time ... but they're still the exception.

Be Careful Smash
Shambo likes his pickled onions in an unconventional manner. I have it on the authority of a doctor so it must be true.
