Nursing a broken arm she said she needed help 'cos she'd spent the last 3 hours in a ditch up the lane, and had to crawl to safety (like some kind of female Joe Simpson), and said she was desparately trying to survive. I think the 3 bottles of wine she'd apparently drunk earlier helped numb the pain, and it certainly livened up our xmas with the ambulance and the police getting the curtains twitching. Our 17 year old lad (who answered the door) was a little freaked though!
    Ha ha. She sounds like a normal British citizen.
    Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?

    Don't mess - my chai tea is stronger than your wing chun (that's No. 67 on the menu, isn't it?).

    Haai-ya!

    I have to go up to that London next month some time. I'll be sure to bear this advice in mind whilst I'm there.

    Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

    I live in Newport, so you definitely need some skills around here. Saying that, if I say " hello bud, long time no see, hows your dad doing, you still got that dog?" in a situation as described, I may end up down the hospital, because lately, the percentage of people around in Newport that is actually from here is quite small, so I would say that and the guy may don't even understand what I'm saying, and that's rich coming from me, I know.
