While living at my mum’s house I fell over fdunk and landed on a small antique stool. this caused two of the legs to fall off. So I propped it up and mde it look normal then went to bed. Inevitably, within a few days the dog collided with it and it promptly fell over, with the two broken legs detaching themselves. The dog got bollocked and I let him take the blame. Also, I was once showing off driving onto my parent’s driveway (in their car). I went on too fast and misjudged it, knocking their front wall into the front garden with the wing of their car. When they got home I lied and said that I had swwerved to avoid running over a cat. They believed it and I didn’t get rollocked, despite the fact that it cost £750 to rebuild the wall and the side of the car was knackered.
I once accidentally stole a roll of sellotape from my local shop. I slipped it on my wrist as I wandered round looking for something else and didn’t realise it was there until I got home.
That is somewhat trumped by a three figure speed police chase down the A417, but the less said about that the better.
I once, in my teens, went over a VERY steep hump back bridge at about 75mph, resulting in a 40 foot long, 3 metre high, terrifying Dukes Of Hazard leap (I have since returned to the bridge, and established hitting it at a mere 35mph was sufficient to momentarily get all four wheels clear off the road). All I could see through the windscreen was sky, but by the Grace of God (also known as physics) the weight of the engine levelled the car out and I landed perfectly on all four wheels. It is the most combined stupid, scary and triumphant moment of my life.
A week later my sister borrowed the car to drive to Cornwall. The engine fell out in Devon.
I never told her why.
Huw’s story reminds me of the time I was once driving from the town where Brennig lives to the town where I live.
I went over a small humpback bridge far too fast and was completely airborne for what felt like ages. There was a very large bang as I hit the road and ever since I have always slowed down over that bridge!
Thanks all for your very lovely podcast poll results. They were all used in this weekend’s podcast. Cheers!
