Illnesses and Injuries....

[Bunnylump]

Have you been sneaking into my cellar?

[clvrlad]

ecky thump wont stand upto her

[Bunnylump]

It's OK Clvrld, I've had to concede defeat. I've just had a very alarming proposition from The King of the Swingers. Just suffice to say that he's come up with such a terrifying challenge that I wouldn't even be prepared to take you on with your sausage.

Fortunately, I think I could still throw the gauntlet down to Scurra and his stick, since I suspect this monstrous affront would equally terrify him.

And you all thought he was such a nice quiet friendly chap, didn't you? See, I know better!!

[tricia]

you'll never get me on that bridge - AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tricia

[clvrlad]

what??
that bridge was cool

[Bunnylump]

It makes me feel sick just looking at it, as my evil twin very well knows...

But I must say I did laugh out loud when he sent me that.

[brian]

That's not the Irish one we've been on surely.

I'd say I don't recognise it, but I had my eyes shut all the way over so I couldn't be sure!

[Whispers]

Any close observer would see it is a stock photograph, and not ME on the bridge. How can you tell???

I DON'T HOLD ONTO THE ROPES

I DON'T HOLD ONTO THE ROPES

Show off!

[Bunnylump]

You know you can really go off some people...

What I want to know is how come I got all the scaredy cat genes from the twin package? It's SOOOOO unfair. I can MAKE myself do things. I think I told you this before, but I went right to the top of this in 2004


But then passed out when I reached the bottom!

[Scurra]

I don't understand.
If you could make yourself go up there, then you can do anything. I think you're just pretending.
Now you see I would have done the passing out thing at the bottom at the start, like sensible people.

[Bunnylump]

I don't understand either. Thing is I was determined. We'd gone there because I'd won the weekend away. We are unlikely to ever be able to afford to go again, and I KNEW my OH really wanted to go up and was being nice saying "It doesn't matter". So I MADE myself do it. After he'd scraped me up off the floor at the bottom he told me he could feel me shaking all the way round and was quite surprised I hadn't passed out at the top and plummeted over the edge. I think that was what he'd secretly hoped for...

The reason it is SO impressive that I did this is that I am so bad I have to stand against the wall when I'm at the top of a staircase, and can't climb a ladder without my knees giving way.

[MBH]

That looks like a lovely bit of design and building work.

[Bunnylump]

It was breathtakingly wonderful. Best bit was the massive stained glass window with turquoise and yellow glass. If anyone ever gets the chance to go to Barcelona I would thoroughly recommend it for a weekend break.The Gaudi park Guell is fabulous too. The only thing I hated was the aggressive beggars.

[clvrlad]

well MBH is right he didnt hold on...i crossed after him i did hold on but primarily to dampen the lateral movement caused by some unthinking youths messing about whilst certain people were crossing very gingerly...

Anyone seen the bridge on page 3 of the telegraph travel section today? It would give most people nightmares. Its the Arch in Chamonix which has spectacular views of peaks and glaciers and off piste terrain. Sheer rock face and ots od snow above and below.

[clvrlad]

<looks at the parcel containing 102 copies>

nope not seen it yet.....

[brian]

Not opened the travel section up to now (Life is too short to read all the sections on Saturday) But just had a look. At least that bridge seems to be firmly fixed and not swaying about.

[Bunnylump]

OMG you're sayin g that aw()ul bridge swaye d about too??? An d you all went onit voluntariily????

[LAT]

I'd say involuntarily described it better.
