The only thing that made today good was the amount of morphine they pumped into me after I got shot
(not a bullet, but a .22 is close enough for my liking)
So it was a case of

A .22 is not a bullet? If I'm assuming correctly, you're talking about a .22 caliber. This is a bullet, a small one but still a bullet.the grim squeaker wrote:(not a bullet, but a .22 is close enough for my liking)

Re: What made today good?
I was stood on my doorstep smoking a cigar after coming back from the pub, and I felt a pain on the top of my head, followed by a little trickle of blood. I thought "oh, its just the damn kids throwing stones again" (they are bloody terrors around my area, they cause havoc) little did I know that was the first shot.
So, I continue smoking, and the next thing, I hear a bang. (didnt hear the first one, was quite drunk)
I look down at the right side of my chest, to see a spreading patch of blood, and a rather scary amount pouring down my trouser leg onto the floor. I have a pretty high pain threshold, but I have never felt anything like it in my life.
Then the shock kicked in (the human body is an amazing thing, I felt high as a kite!) crawled over and knocked on my neighbors door before passing out.
Thats all I remember until I woke up in hospital the next day.
Investigations are continuing...

Re: What made today good?
You didnt see my forum avatar (harlequin beer pints) featured prominently in the emotionally heavyhanded video ?
Re: What made today good?
Not in the video I saw! I'll try again, sometimes those sites are not always showing the same thing.
Well, I viewed it again, and it was about paying broadcasting fees in Sweden. Of course the topic could have figured Harlequin mugs, but I did not see them. Can yo ube more specific and tell me at what point it should be, or is t hte wrong video (calling some swedish girl a HERO because she paid her fees)

Re: What made today good?
i was spoofing a viral video that's currently making the rounds.
I sent out 3 versions ... one to my wife with a silly picture of her, one with my beer pints forum avatar and a third one that's a long story to explain.
Perhaps i linked the wrong code ?

Re: What made today good?
Whoops, looks like I'd mistakenly included the version with my wife's spoof photo.
EDIT: Ok, I believe this is the correct one now ...

Oh, I see now. It is always the same story, but one can put any picture one wants in it. So the one I saw previously was with your wife on it?Darb wrote:Whoops, looks like I'd mistakenly included the version with my wife's spoof photo.![]()
