Deer jumping out infront of me when riding through a wood.

Already hit one in the car and see them on the side of the road so often.

I ensure that I pull over once every mile to check it's still there.

And that is fucking right. One of the dam things jumped out in front of me once when I was doing about 50-60mph. The horse wasnt actually on the road at all......untill almost the worst possible moment when he decided to try and make a break for it. God dam things should be banned from public roads.

This one!!!

Due to a failure to keep-up with my laundry i ended up going to work in minuscule pants i'd normally have worn on potential-pulling expeditions (i was very young). I had an off and was on a spinal board in the hospital. It was around 9am on a weekday morning (hardly slutty pants time). After they'd removed my jeans. . . .

I could have died of embarrassment, the nurse looked at me like i was Queen Slap of Slutland Doh!
