Hope she's not too shaken up man.

That's a coincidence, my nan had a fall yesterday too.

Are you both sure it was not some secret special day like oldies fall over day?

Joking aside I hope that both of them are all okay and that they are making a full recovery.

As the commenter said, The Onion before The Onion.

Mother's doing well. Surprisingly, she was fine when it was snowing.

ION I had a messed up dream last night:

I was driving along a road in my car. The road felt more like an american freeway - 6-8 lanes with no barriers between them and mixed directional traffic. The road undulated markedly along it's course. I was speeding. Instead of the normal feeling of weightlessness you get when a car goes over a hump quickly, my car left the road. The first jump was maybe two storeys. The second jump was at least five or six storeys. It felt a bit like a fairground ride (not a rollercoaster since the motion was still felt the same as going over a hump too fast).

Anyway, the second time the car landed, it caused a crash with an oncoming vehicle. The guy in the other vehicle was ejected through the windscreen but was otherwise fine. Somehow a young black girl had been killed as a result of an accident. We both thought we had killed someone. We were planning to report it to the police but it turns out (details in mind are fading quickly) that her death had been orchestrated and the crash was deliberate to conceal her death.

Some chubby, bearded guy had been using her as a prostitute and now wanted to dispose of her. He threatened to report us to the police for murder unless we kept quiet about everything. Somehow, I had taken the blame and my family had turned their back on me. I was kicked out of my house and had to live on my own, no job, no home. I think I went abroad.

Cut to a year later and I came back, believing everything had been forgotten. Upon my arrival at home, there was a package waiting for me. It contained a small electronic device (looked like a date/time/calendar type thing) but was an indication that my whereabouts had been tracked and that the person who was blackmailing me had known I was going to pitch up home. I then had to leave, with the help of my secondary school friends, and find a new place to live. During this process, we started to uncover more evidence and a way to clear my name.

Unforunately, the alarm went off so I never knew what happened in the end.

I blame this on the super-cheesy pasta bake I had last night.

Yeah she's fine. It was on the grass in the garden (luckily).

Just bought a Windows 8 laptop for the missus and lad.
No where's that mag I've got on how to add a Window 7 style start menu?

You can't do that to us! I want to know what happens now!

Seriously, I could see that being pitched to some bozos in a Hollywood studio. Maybe not the super bouncy freeway bit, but the rest - wow!

Yeah, that and some super-cheesy conspiracy B movie, methinks.

I want to know the ending too! It really was a vivid dream and I too felt it could have been a decent B-grade movie.


The last three films I have watched were: Jack Reacher, BTTF 2, and The Matrix. The last two were on TV.
