Last christmas, after two christmas parties and some absinthe. Cycling home (not sure but could have fallen asleep cycling), all of a sudden I'm picking myself off the floor after having hit something. It was a stationary Police car. With Police in. How I got off with a warning I have no idea.

My fave would be any crash that involves someone else.
Failing that, ending up in a canal on L2P has to rate as a recent personal highlight. :)

she can fuckin rot in hades

12/05: Why Celebrate An Old Woman's Death?
Category: [Events](http://www.londonclasswar.org/newswire/index.php?catid=4)
Posted by: Admin
We were recently asked why Class War will be holding a mass party in Trafalgar Square when Margaret Thatcher dies.
Well - here goes!
The Conservative Margaret Thatcher is the most reviled Prime Minister in British history - and that is a pretty competitive field!
In the 1980s she set out to destroy...
...In retirement Thatcher remains an icon to the right, and has, not surprisingly been endorsed by both the Labour Prime Ministers who have followed her. Now in her 80s, she has been in ill health for some years.
**Class War will mark her passing with a party in Trafalgar Square- scene of the most famous riot against her policies - at 6pm on the first Saturday after her death. See you there!

I remember the powercuts because the miners were always on strike and all then there was heath and callahan and foot governments which seemed to be a masterclass in inepitutude in the 70's it was really dire the country was going down the fucking toilet thatcher might have been an evil minded bitch but she did get the country back on its feet or so it seemed at the time I can't honestly say that i liked her she just used to make me laugh the way she spoke down to everyone was unbelievable anyone remember the poll tax riot that was one of the best days I ever had in my life half the west end up in flames I hear you big daddy wayne I can sympathize but the welsh valleys are a world away so it is hard to empathise and steel and coal would have died anyway globalization makes it cheaper to simply buy that stuff in but that doesn't make it any less hard on your folk and I am sorry for the pain that they had to go through in London at that time it was quite quite different

looks like you suffered grammatically from the tory party's educational policies, even if you did benefit from their divisive, end-of-consensus, individualist rape of society. still, glad you enjoyed the riot. the march in barnstaple wasn't quite the same.
michael foot government? when was that?

I was about 11 years old, riding my first mountain bike to a friend's house, fiddling with a speedometer I had just got and wasn't looking where I was going.
Cycled into a lamp post and endo'd mouth first into the post. Smashed front tooth in half, ran back to my house with the nerve hanging out and blood everywhere!

4 of mine involve undertaking, you'd think I'd learn that priceless lesson of not being so fucking stupid, maybe I will one day...
The most recent; undertaking stationary traffic, some dozy cunt opens the passenger door, (whilst still 4' from the pavement), I fly straight into it, somehow bike was fine, I end up with bruises across my chest and upper arms, but his passenger door wouldn't shut.
I had one the other day, was speeding round Russell Square when I didn't notice the traffic had stopped, jammed breaks on. These had recently been replaced with cool stops and were far more efficient then normal. Some how both my hands flew off the bars (i have no idea how) and i ended up half landing on a motorcyclist back in front of me. He screamed quite loudly, and I can only assume he shit himself. He was really nice about it - I found this all very funny through and sprinted off quite fast after the event.
