Default Day Off....Not Fun
Took a days holiday and went with Mrs Nog and Son to see HOT FUZZ...well till we got there and found its a 15....
Trotted off to hire Casino Royal from Video Shop....not out till next week
Drive home and..................CRASH a car full of airbags coming out of places where I didn't know we had them. I don't care what Churchill say but they are paying for those trousers. Nice old lady going shopping....decided that she wanted the bit of road we were using.

Decided to calm down it a bit of pottering in the workshop. Tried toput up a shelf and my drill went BOOM in my hand.

May be today was not ment to be my day.

As rustylady says, at least you and yours are all okay. Though not many people I know crash a car and try to electrocute themselves in such a short space of time !

He now has a "cool" factor in conversations and it was so much better than some boring film.

"This old lady made my dad poo his pants."
or
"We had a crash and all the airbags went off and it was like, cool!"

Main thing is you are all OK, we had that in 2005, nice man pulled out from our right to travel in the same direction, no airbags though, just a written off car. Peter jnr went to hit him because of what he had done.

Thank goodness you are all okay NOG. Films can be seen when they are out/when old enough but peeps can't be replaced.

Hope you all feel able to look back and laugh soon!

What a shame NOG - but you are all OK. That's the only thing that really matters. Everything else is nothing but nuisance value. Hope you have a much nicer day tomorrow.

LOL Nick.

Glad that you and yours are OK NOG. Some days are just like that. Although you usually hope they are not so dramatic.

Hope it's all sorted soon.

Hi NOG
Hope the bruises aren't too awful. There must be something in the air this week, sh1* hit fan round here too. We are keeping heads down and waiting for it to pass.
Hope the shock wears off soon. Best wishes

On the Bus to work today.....yuck...don't want to do that again. They don't even stop where you want I had to walk back to the building.

But on the plus side a little old lady stopped me and asked me if I had an allotment...think she must have seen me in the past..anyway she has 2 330lt new compost bins in her garage that she dosent want and did I want them.....

So we walked round tonight and came home like darliks...
