If there is a god, he/she has a seriously $@&^# up sense of humour. I get myself organised and stabilised so he/she starts messing with my kids. :evil:

Nothing at all ATM. just wanted to bump the thread.

Although, if push came to shove, I'd be pissed off at forecasters constantly predicting rain when we get jack all; people who drive with their heads up their ass and people who bag players of our great club.

But other than that, it's red time. :wink:

Just got home from the quack who removed a speck of steel which had been embedded in my eye for the past week. Let me tell you, no amount of reassurance and anaesthetic can prepare you for the daunting sight and feel of a syringe going towards your eyeball with needle poking away at it. All this while trying to keep my eye dead still so it didn't end up looking like an olive on a pick. eeeouchy! I guess the good thing is, I'm now officially a one eyed Magpie :) .

Moral of the story. Always, I mean always wear safety glasses when using power tools, no matter how minor the job is. :(


PS. The eye is ok, just have to put some antibiotic drops in for the next few days to stave off infection and pulling the patch off after 24 hrs. :)

Watching mums that are more concerned about getting tattoos than looking after their kids. :evil:

And yet they will be the first to complain about not having enough money to feed their kids. :roll:

Work collegues who repeatedly tell you that they have fixed problems in reporting, only to run the report again, and they haven't!

Car Crashes! I heard this one yesterday, and wondered why I could hear a truck and a lot of metal grinding. Thought it was a truck collecting the big waste bins at a nearby shopping centre.

When the news came out of the accident, at an intersection I travel through every day, well it certianly brings home how dangerous our roads can be. Life can be just so short, it is very sad.

Woman, 20, dies in horror crashArticle from: Font size: Decrease Increase Email article: Email Print article: Print Submit comment: Submit comment RENATO CASTELLO

A WOMAN aged 20 was killed when her small sedan was crushed by a truck south of Adelaide yesterday.

The 20-year-old's car was dragged for 30m and torn in half after crashing into the front of the semi-trailer at the intersection of Main South Rd, Robinson Rd and Griffiths Dr at Seaford Heights.
The compost-laden truck was being driven by Phil Bell, who was heading back to the Willunga depot of employer Peats Soil and Gardening Supplies.

His colleague, Darren Eatts, who was on the scene 10 minutes after the accident, said Mr Bell tried to help the car driver.

"The first thing he did (after the crash) was look in the car but there was nothing he could do about it," he said.

Mr Bell, who was taken to Noarlunga Hospital with minor injuries, was "shaken up", his friend said.

"I suppose it hasn't hit him yet, he's lucky the truck hasn't gone over on him," Mr Eatts said.

The truck was heading south on Main South Rd just before 8am when the accident happened at the intersection, which has traffic lights.

Police are yet to confirm the cause of the crash. Residents were alerted by two loud bangs.

Hackham West resident Joel Klein, 33, one of the first on the scene, called police and an ambulance.

"I initially thought the truck driver had hit a tree . . . but then I saw the car crushed underneath it; it was absolutely full-on," he said. "It was absolutely shocking and I was shaking when I saw it.

"A few people had pulled over and were consoling the driver."

One witness said she was walking across Robinson Rd about 150m from the intersection when she heard what she described as a "bang". She saw the truck enter the intersection but did not see the impact.

"I heard the bang, screeching and then another bang," said the woman, who did not give her name. "The truck wasn't going that fast. It is a big shock. It makes you realise how fragile life is."

Old Noarlunga resident Jake Breindl, 15, said he heard the impact from his house a block away. "I walked over to see if anyone was alive," he said.

Another resident, Dan, who only gave his first name, said the impact sounded like a tyre blow-out.

Other residents said the intersection needed a red-light camera.

CFS personnel and police blocked off part of Main South Rd south of Seaford Heights.

South Coast traffic enforcement section Senior Constable Douglas Philips said it was too early to speculate whether either driver had run a red light.

"All we can tell by this stage is that the semi-trailer was heading south on Main South Rd," he said.

He said red-light running had been an issue in the past but the speed limit had been reduced a year ago, from 80km/h to 60 on the Main South Rd approach, to reduce accidents.

"The laneways are clearly marked," he said. "It's a good sealed road, it's a slow speed. Accidents do happen so all we can do is encourage road users to always be careful, even at lights. It doesn't necessarily mean you are safe."

OK so what's the problem?

He is free to do as he choses isn't he?
