Nope, missed me completely
My parents live roughly between Luton & Northampton, but off by many miles as we Brits judge distance (anything over 10 miles away requires an overnight stay)

Funny you would say that. When our friends come over from the UK they can't believe how long we drive to do things for a day. 2 or 3 hours one way for a rugby match, and they are like "WTF? We staying over night?". "Ummm no."

It was raining in Woolwich this morning. I slipped over in front of a group of young lads with cans of beer in their hands. It was 09.30.
A man standing with them (older, sans beer) rushed to help me up and gave a right telling off to those who laughed. Which of course made me feel like I was going to cry. I have 2 skinned knees.

I probably would have.
I did some amazing arm flailing in my attempt not to fall, and managing to go down on two knees in the rain is pretty spectacular. Still, their punishment will come

Wizard of Oztershire
Anon, the house began to pitch, the kitchen, and the loo, took a slitch
It landed on the wicked witch in the middle of a ditch, guvner Which was not a jolly situation for the wicked witch Who began to twitch, (bollocks!) and was reduced to just a stitch Of what was once the blimey wicked witch

Yay! I was hoping it wouldn't offend, but I just couldn't pass it up.
