2008-10-11 - Rider Down, Brighton

Just seen an accident between a white transit and a woman on a bike. The transit clipped her rear wheel and she went down hard. Blood everywhere looks like some broken bones but she was conscious and paramedics who turned up said she seemed like she should be ok. Transit driver was in shock as well and running around trying to help but mainly getting in the way. I hung around but there was a nurse on scene who was driving past and the police had enough witnesses so I headed off, as I pulled away a guy who had been sat in his car watching the whole event pulled off in front of me cutting me up and on his phone while driving needless to say he got an earfull from me and a fright as I slapped his window right next to his head with my palm. Anyway be carefull guys especially on a friday when peoples minds are wandering.

Crikey, hope she's a-ok.

'Trading standards officers are stepping up patrols after more counterfeit vodka that could make drinkers go blind was found on sale in off-licences.'

Drink a shitload of vodka and you go blind? I could've told 'em that!

Gawd bless The Argus.

On topic: hope she's not too shaken up.

(p.s.that wasn't a cue for a vodka martini joke)

Simultaneously on yet off topic: Maybe the van driver had some of that.

I think that UBU at Westies is made from the same stuff..

Crikey, hope she's a-ok.

I'm pretty sure that's what the bar managers at The Beach and at Honey use.
