my friend was once telling us how she had walked into a lamp post at great speed and really hurt herself
giving us a demonstration, she promptly walked smack into a teacher and they both went flying. no physical injury, but a week of detentions.

That reminds me of another story I read in the letters page of Just Seventeen (back in the day)
about this girl who was walking down the street, singing opera really loudly, because there was a pneumatic drill going or something that was maskingthe noise. Of course, it suddenly stopped, and everyone turned around to see who the weird singing bint was. She turned round as well, trying to look like it wasn't her, then immediately walked into a lamppost.

Why do the oddest things stick in your memory?

I walked into a lamppost aged about 7 on the way to school
I was in a nark and walking head down. Concrete lampposts do not have much "give" in them

It certainly explains a fair bit about you...
