adrenaline buzz

Went to pick up my Groundy in my girlfriends Pug 106 at 6:30am (was infront of landy). Hit some ice on a country lane doin about 45ish and skidded out of control for about 30 meters into a laybye & up an embankment, thought I was about to roll but then bounced back down and ended up in a field. Was a bit shaken , got out of car and walked into laybye to make other drivers aware while waited to be pulled out. Bout 5 mins later van came down hit same bit of ice on bend and stupid me was stood in laybye. Had to literally dive out of way of van like some kind A-Team episode. 2 or 3 other cars skidded in same place but not to same result as me and van. Strange thing is I got to work and I had the best adrenaline feeling like I had just completed 2 sky dives and a bungee jump.

What your closest shaves that you have kind off enjoyed??

"Survived" that's very debatable.

 

Reckon the smack on the bonce you sustained, answers many a question with regards to some of your more leftfield postings me old china :001_tongue:

 

 

 

Do you know, for a few seconds after the accident I developed a southern accent, I did make a full recovery from that though. :001_smile:

Hmm. hard to choose -

Belfast shopping centre being blown to hell 3 minutes after mother pushed me in the pram round the corner?

Warrenpoint cafe being blown up killing 7 an hour after we left?

The British Army finding an IRA weapons cache behind our forestry commision cottage in Rostrevor, Armagh?

 

Northern Ireland in the '70s had many moments of adrenaline Buzz. Good job you dont appreciate the seriousness of the situations when your a kid.
