Near Death ExperiencesLast time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

I was 12, a jolly wee striplingplaying cricket in my yard with my neighbour. He hits the ball out of the yard into the road, which is a corner coming down the hill.
I run out into the road, jolly, wee and a bit naive, just as some old farmer brown type comes speeding around the corner and knocks me into the drain at the side of the road. My sid was split open, my kidneys were leaking out, and the bastard old drunk comes out of his car leans over the ditch and offers me 120quid to stay silent about the incident. That, I think, was when my cynicism truly began.
