Something possibly upsetting just happened to me.
I was working away in front of the PC monitor when something vague and blurry came into my immediate view. A bit like when a stray hair gets in your eye.

Well I slowly lifted my hand catching whatever it was, and it turned out to be a teensy spider. Fucking absailed about 3 metres from the roof to land directly on my head. A few inches forward and it would've went straight into my coffee.

Just as well I don't have arachnophobia then.

So I guess the question might be: When was the last time you had a brush with serious danger!?

You know
They do that on purpose, right?
Your hair is a more inviting habitat than the desk.

Well
I was nearly burnt to death the other day, when I bit into my slice of cheese on toast. It was far too hot. I had to do that totally ineffective flappy-hand-near-gaping-mouth thing for ages.

*shudders at the memory*

On Tuesday
I cut my finger on the corner of my 4pack dip selection. It could have got infected and fallen off. But it didn't.

I then put the parasol up in my garden and the motion of sliding the hub up the pole (fnar) caused the split to open to grand canyon size pissing blood all over the place.

Also the parasol could have fallen on me. But it didn't.

I laugh in the face of danger HA HA!

I was brushing my hair the other day
accidentally picked up a razor-sharp, electrified piranha.

that's what I call a brush with serious danger.

I drank a lot of bottles of beer on Tuesday
and didn't die.

I took all of the bottles to the recycling bin up the road yesterday and also didn't die.

Today I woke up and turned my laptop on
But the fan outlet is covered! OH NOES!

And no, it has not killed me to death. Or at all actually.

I let my chickens out this morning and I thought they were going to tear me limb from limb.
Instead they just pecked around a bit and one did a massive poo.

Lucky escape all round.

Yay, chickens!
Mine are growing nicely, and they follow me around the garden, and run up to the car when I get home.
( Cawl, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 11:56, Reply)

Mine are ex-battery hens.
They were a right pair of sorry looking raggedy-arsed chooks when I got them. 10 weeks later they look like big fat happy chickes with all their feathers.

We used to have some of those,
They're great!
Always makes me a little sad when they've been partially-debeaked though.

Mine have only had the tips lasered off so you cant really tell.
I was thankfull for it at the start as they fought quite a bit. They have settled down now and seem happy with each other.

my parents have 6
they are great, although they sound a lot like a person doing a chicken impression!

fresh eggs are the business though.

A brush with death would be an understatement!

That's nothing!
I got a blister on my foot recently. I could have died from the sheer agony of it. I almost had to have my foot amputated to get rid of it.

But I MTFU and carried on!

Erm........I nearly drove into a road sweeper vehicle on the way to work the other day.
Silly billy!
