Close To Home ....

There is an S bend within 100m of the Fart Residence, that sees a fair bit of action. We get a steady stream of accidents, especially in the weekends. It has been pretty quiet for the last six weeks since we upgraded the warning signs, but tonight as I started to watch a rerun of the All Black test match, there was the unmistakable crunching crash, then a deathly silence. A dazed bruised and shaken young lady, survived the crash, but was so nearly taken out by a semi truck that missed the wrecked car by inches, a minute or so afterwards. The Semi must have had ABS brakes, he didn't jackknife, and his trailer stayed on the road. So a chance to catch up on the local gossip with the tow truck driver, cop & ambulance driver, all of whom have been marvelling at how quiet it has been on the accident front, and what a twat Clive Woodward is....
