To my little bro, Davyboyingravyjoy
To put an end to the debate we have been having for nigh on 25 years I would like the records to show that it was in fact your steering and not my pushing that landed you in the rose bushes.

To all interestded parties
may I provide a little perspective on the situation:

So I was about 5 years old (I forget the exact age, I can't help but hide the scarring memories), and my darling sister is pushing me around the garden on my bike, which has stabilisers. I am doing my best to keep steering straight, but she pushed me too fast, and I lost control, a Speed Wobble if you will. Before I know it, my sister has pushed me headlong into a Rose Bush, and I am pulling thorns out of various parts of my body.

Now, our father who was ex-police has always stated that vehicular accidents are ALWAYS a case of the wrong SPEED for the wrong conditions. I maintain that if I wasn't pedalling, my sister was in charge of the speed. Thus, she was pushing me too fast for the conditions, and the accident was inevitable.

Sorry Sis, but you pushed me too fast!

Edit: and I've been much more active around these woods than you have, stop trying to curry cheap favours here!
