How do you treat Mondays, are you a miserable scrote or are you happy and at one with a full working week ahead?

Have you ever been involved in a crash?

Alt: don't give a toss, soz
Yes I was in a horrendous crash when I was about 18. Scared the shit out of me and is a major contributor in my dislike of cars and why I never learnt to drive. I would subconsciously brace my feet when I sat in the front of a car for about ten years afterwards.

Mind you I was thrown out of a pub by half six and had drunk four beers by noon so early start, early finish.

I hope the picture on the news story is a stock photo, because if it's the actual wreck then where he was sitting is just a crumpled mess.
Thankfully his wife didn't go to identify him, he would have been in a right mess.

I was driving one of these:

Not exactly the largest & most protective of vehicles.
Another car lost control on the M40 and went in to me at about 80mph, the force of which smashed me in to a third car & all three cars ended up on the motorway embankment.
Luckily I was unscathed.

Still At least there was one less BMW on the road.

for the coppers to even issue it. So I was told to call back this week and they should be able to tell me.

Rolled it, luckily they're surprisingly strong. Just as well there was no-one in the passenger seat though, they'd have been squashed flat I think.

I've been in a few minor crashes but I do have a funny sorry about my dead dad. He had a two toned Austin Allegro and decided to put speakers in the back. he cut holes and attached them. When driving back home from Leeds he had a car pull out in front of him. He managed to avoid hitting them by performing a superb emergency stop. Unfortunately he had neglected to screw down the new speakers which flew out. Due to the lack of head rests one hit him on the back of the head, knocking him out cold and caused him to drive full pelt in to a house. Fun times were had by all!

There are some bent looking pastel ones on there, hope you weren't suggesting I look at those. White on either mint green or red are best.

I've had 3 serious crashes in my life, one was my fault and nearly killed me when I slammed my motorbike in to a tree at about 50, the second was a bit lol, as we drove a land rover through a river ford, thinking it would be cool, but the current was a bit strong and rolled the truck, floating us down river a fair old way. The third was not my fault and almost lost me my leg, and the boring hospital stay for that one is the reason I started posting here. That was a scary crash.
I watched that nascar race, was a brutal crash.

Essentially how many homes are accessing the last few yards from the road terminal at the same time. That way you can tell if there's anything you can do; if the ratio is ok you may need a different router.

According to the website I shouldn't ring up to moan for 3 days, because the connection will be unstable. I'll moan at them tomorrow evening if I'm not getting anything better.

I know cock all about IT, but when I had BT broadband they would only unthrottle the connection to the maximum speed it stayed stable at for 3 days. In the 3 years I was in the house, 2 days 4 hours was the maximum length of time my connection stayed up for. I think they did it deliberately.

Haven't done that in months though, might have to restart it soon.
Alt: A few, none serious though. I was once on a coach that took out a Micra, that wasn't the best.

on the dual carriageway not far from work. I was speeding, so the guy behind me was also. Lights ahead go green, car in outside lane stays stationary. Oops. I brake pretty hard (Escorts didn't have ABS) but stop short, without skidding, swearing like mad at the idiot who hadn't set off. ...when I become aware of a large cloud of blue smoke floating past. Funny, thinks I, I'm sure I didn't lock any wheels? Check all 3 mirrors, nothing behind at all. Look right to see a Fiesta sat on the (fortunately wide, flat and barrierless) central reservation, chap behind the wheel white as a sheet.
Still have no idea how he missed me, but very glad he did , would have gone right through me I think.

I had just over taken an HGV when one of its tyres blew out the noise is what I imagine a bomb would sound like. Scared the living crap out of me

at the age of 2 or 3. My dad was bombing it up a steep and narrow country/mountain road, oblivious to the postal van doing similar speeds coming down in the opposite direction. The vehicles met at some speed, my mother's NHS specs went through the windscreen and were found, undamaged, on the grass verge and my dad's elderly mini was written off. no further damage was suffered.
After the crash, my concerned parent questioned me carefully to ensure I hadn't been traumatised by this horrific event. Apparently my answer was "BANG!" with a big smile. I think I was probably damaged irreparably that day.

Mondays aren't too bad, usually I spend Sunday recovering from Saturday night and end up in bed at a reasonable hour.
Alt: I was waiting at a junction when a woman drove into the back of me at 30mph. "I just didn't see you". Stove in the back and wrote my car off. Ambulance turned up pretty quick once I mentioned she was bleeding from the mouth (turned out she'd just bitten her tongue but was on blood thinners).
