KC acrobatics

Postby Drew Radcliffe » Fri 24 Feb 2006 12:10 am

I am a walking disaster!!!

Fell down a flight of stairs today. Can't remember the fall just remember the pain at the bottom. Have bust my wrist and had lots of kisses from my guide dog.

Didn't see the Bl**dy steps did I.

Only telling you lot so I get some sympathy - everybody else has given me a severe repremand including "You could of been Killed".

Sorry to hear that Drew, hope you are OK. I also hope you DIDN'T land on anything soft (Yates?) :lol:

But, why did Yates let you fall down the stairs? I thought his job was to stop that sort of thing?

Drew,

Thougts are with you, you must have been somewhere warm. Everyone I know is wrapped up like the Michelin man and would have just bounced. Probably would have got stuck on their back unable to get up :)

Anne; I always wear safety shoes, doesn't hurt when you walk in to things. Makes my daughter think twice when she is being naughty and threatens to kick me!

Sorry but you sound just like my mum! Always telling me to put slippers on. I hate having hot feet. But i guess your both right.

Hi All - Thanks for the Virtual Hugz

Feeling like I've gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson and won this morning.

Yates did as he was supposed to - He stopped and I told him it was ok to go on. The steps where slippery and as stepped off the first one I either missed my footing or slipped.

Youll all know what I mean if I describe Stairs as looking like a Ramp and I was looking at 3 of them!!

Drew

PS if anyone finds £50million quid in a lockup in southern England can we split it between us??? :P
