Having a VERY bad day!

12 Feb 2005

The plan:
Go to airport to pick up aunt and 2 cousins (boy 15, Girl 14) who had just arrived from the US. :welcome:
Drop them off to be with the relatives. wave

Drive straight to the Leicester Munch, which happens to be my first Munch and which I am looking forward to very much.
Drink several pints of cold lager drinkies

Mingle with all of the lovely SH'ers kiss

Dance like a fool :crazy:
Try to gently convince the cute couple in the corner that they need a guy for the afters party. :bounce:
Enjoy myself immensly.
What actually happened:
Got to airport on time, had to wait for American relatives to pick up their bagagge.
Get on the road to drop them off, have to brake hard to avoid a crash in front of us.
Get hit from behind when the guy behind the guy behind me hit the guy behind me, who in turn hit me.
Check everyone is OK
Try to exchange details with an Indian man who has doesn't speak English and, I am pretty sure does not have insurance (stop laughing, you lot)
Wait for a hour for the tow truck to come and get us.
Spend another hour in the tow truck listening to the (typical) Yanks telling me that their roads are much safer, that their pick-up people would have provided a rental car, that their SUV would have survived a crash like that, that their blah, blah, blah. (I said stop laughing damnit!)
Get home and realise that my neck is starting to get very sore.
Spend the next hour and a half in the local (thank god) A&E waiting to be told that I have whiplash (which I already know!)
Sat here typing this thread, with a neck-brace on, no booze in the house, and knowing that everyone is having such a good time in Leicester.
(OK, laugh if you want. I might find it funny tomorrow)
What a sh*t day!

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
I could really do with a cuddle.

Sorry to hear about your day going all wrong but at least you are all alright - guess it could have been worse. You might have made it to the munch and felt out of place, the couple may have insulted you having misunderstood your intentions and the beer might have been warm. At least the way things happened, you still have something to look forward to in the future.
Hugs

Yup, that's the tough bit. rolleyes

You probably don't any comforting kisses from me (well if you do, you aren't getting any). confused

Look forward to the next munch, mate.

Thanks for the nice messages guys. Yeah, you are probably right, now that the pain is wearing off a bit (excellent painkillers!) I am most pissed off about going to the Munch.
They would be back at the afters party round about now.....I am soooooooo jealous! :doh:
Thanks for the hugs and kisses ladies, I feel better already. lol

Look on the bright side, you will have a great story for the NEXT Munch!

Danny I was looking for you mate - wondered where you were and thought how hard can it be to spot a guy your size rolleyes

I won't make you jealous and tell you you missed a fantastic night. But let this be a lesson - next time tell the yanks you are far too busy and that munches come first. wink

Sorry about the crash - at least no one was hurt, which is the main thing.
See you next time maybe xx

Thanks honey, I was particularly annoyed to miss out on meeting you!
Believe me, if I had been there, you would have known about it! :twisted:
Maybe next time....or even sooner! :twisted:
