I cannot remain upright when strolling across t'road in stilettos and realising just too late that it's black ice, not surface water *ouch! Sorry bottom!*

Todays learning experience is that plastering is a LOT more difficult than it looks. The wall is now vaguely flat although I cant help but think that more of the plaster is supposed to go on the wall and not on the floor.
Big tip.. if you have to plaster the little mixer widget that fits in a drill is worth its weight in gold.
I found out that I am as bad on two feet as I am on two wheels. I have joined Wannabe in the Black Ice Jig, but i was wearing work boots with non slip soles
You ladies be careful. A colleague at work - male, fit, 50ish, stone cold sober - fell flat on his side on Friday on the ice. He's had one seven-hour operation to fix a badly broken pelvis and repair other internal injuries, and will have another before he's discharged. Self-employed, too - not nice.
I spoke to Lancashire County Council about the road, apparently they no longer grit as a preventative measure, just as and when it is needed. They will put my request on a list and review it. Meanwhile I walked back home tonight and almost ended up flat on my face, but I dont think it would hurt that much as I have fully deployed air bags ;) There is a sheet of solid ice all down my road and the road dopwn off the hill is beginning to ice again.
Dear Santa,
Please may I have a sledge for Christmas, I have nearly been a very good girl
The highway authority is legally obliged to take those measures considered necessary to keep the highways clear of ice and snow.
If you have an accident and the ice formed despite gritting or if an extreme weather warning was not issued, the highway authority can argue against a case.
However, if an extreme weather warning was issued (the met office can advise you) and the highway authority do not grit, then any accident caused by loss of control on snow or ice is claimable.
I know a number of people with Lancashire CC Highways Frag, you mind if I have a chat?
Tolerate tossers who make racist jibes. I'm so sorry for saying the word TOSSER! so clearly but ater all this is a free country,isn't it? One I & a fair few others doned a uniform for to defend evryones right to free speech? Go then, have a go at someone with different colour skin,or a different accent,keep in mind we might meet some day & discuss that matter
I will stand up for anyone who wants to crack jokes based on someone else's race, creed or accent,
BUT
you gotta live with the consequences. If you want to make Jewish jokes on stage, and then find there's a squad of off-duty Israeli paratroopers waiting in your dressing room intent on a full and frank exchange of views, then you better have a good exit strategy and don't come running to me.
There's a line between making a joke & taking it too far Wills & someone -respectfully not off BM- crossed it this evening. As for being Jewish,take a look at my hooter.I'd've been f*cked in Nazi Germany Not only that,I fail to see where there was a Racist Jewish joke? More to the point,wasn't the Jewish man having a laugh? & Having served with Israelie paratroopers in the Gulf,yea I think I'd more than likely be looking at going for a good few beers after the show with them
Maybe I shouldn;t have used this particular example in veiw of the joke that started this thread! Should have put my brain into gear to avoid misunderstanding.
OK, for Jewish jokes read general racist jokes, and for Israeli paratroopers read jamaican, but you get the general idea - if you want a bit of fun at someone else's expense and they don't see the joke, then well, you shoud have thought about that beforehand.
Have you changed yer profile picture again?? Blink and there's a diferent one!
Fathom out my boss's thought processes.
While I was "away" (he says "away" like I was sunning meself on a beach somewhere and not having surgery! ) he took a couple of phone calls... you know the ones... recorded messages... waffling on about accidents and claims and whatnot.
He has drawn the conclusion from these calls that I must have been phoning around the "no win, no fee" scummy leeching barstewards, cos there's "no way" they could've got our number from anywhere else.
What, you mean apart from the yellow pages, phone directory, our 3 related web sites and BT?
*despairs*
