Wow
Errr - thanks for the kind words... and Jugular... careful, I might take you up on that, and then you'd be saddled with a scruffy haired geek demanding more soup. Hourly. With bread.

But really - it's not at all that bad. I mean, I laugh about it. Life can be waaaay harder than realising that people aren't always going to be there - I was never hungry, or cold, or homeless, or any of a million horrid things that happen to kids.

Here's a slightly funnier prank, then... I'd persuaded a friend and notorious piss-taker to have a go at this skiing lark. On our second lesson he was starting to get annoying so I gave a playful 'tap' that some might have misinterpreted as a hearty 'shove'.

He fell, twisting his knee quite badly as the skis crossed over themselves. I felt bad, but he was always nice about my skiing after that....
