I just love the expression on it's face as if it thinks it's so clever, but I'd love to know how it proposes to get down. :lol:

:lol: I was going to say "She looks pleased with herself" but you beat me to it.

Now you can't tell the kids off for climbing trees (if kids still climb trees these days).

Oh yes they do. I've been to accident and emergency enough times with my son to say "yes, definitely"! I can't believe this is real. There was a giraffe at our local zoo which died because it got it's legs too far apart, let alone climbing trees!

Your head eirian, or somebody elses head (on a stick)? :twisted:

It's a few years ago when I tried the same trick, but there were 3 things working against me:

1) The concrete slab was built in as part of a pavement
2) The first part of my body to touch the slab was my CHIN
3) Black ice WAS involved in the incident :evil:

Wonderful deep split along the underside of my chin, dragged myself into work and gave the resident first-aider a heart attack at the amount of blood flowing around. When the hospital had finished packing and bandaging me I had a chin like Jimmy Hill :lol:

Oh, ouch!
My son's girlfriend's mum (who's a nurse) apparently fell outside the hospital in all that snow and ice we had the other week and broke her leg. Did anyone stop to help her? No, of course not. :(
