Last night(on Lordship Lane) I was hit by an egg (not hard boiled) that someone had thrown from a passing car?? It struck me on the back of leg but luckily didn?t break until it landed on the pavement. Has anyone else been caught out by this rather unfunny prank?

Judging by the colour of the yolk I fear they are using battery eggs?..

A few years ago I was walking back home after an evening class and a car went by and two eggs were pelted at me, one wizzed past my arm and the other through my walking stride - so close it was like the 'divine intervention' in Pulp Fiction


A couple of mates jogging a few days later were not so lucky - I felt even more smug...

Last year I was riding my motorbike through Bellenden 'village' when some youth threw a tennis ball at me from across the road. It bounced square off the top of my helmet. Initially I was insensed, but afterwards I had to admit, it was a good shot. They were laughing their balls off, so to speak.

I was hitching a lift at the blue house roundabout from Newcastle going north, a car slowed right down and the window wound down. 'where you going to mate?' I leant over close to the driver to speak and he spat a huge great greeny right in the middle of my face. The car raced off with the occupants whooping and wailing with glee.


Now that really was funny.

It was funny only becuase the egg didn't break ... had it left me in an eggy mess I daresay I'd have been fuming. :X

Also when I was a kid I, er, did things like that and for me to become Mr Righteous Indignation would be a tad hypocritical :-$


Me and my mate were just walking down the street one lunchtime and it took me by surprise. The guys in the car stopped at a traffic lights a little further down the road and my mate wanted to run for them and give them a good hiding. I'm a wuss when it comes to such things tho.

One evening, several years ago, during a very drunken game of Treasure Hunt in Soho I threw an egg, jokingly at my boss. It was an excellent shot, right between the eyes, but with such force that the eggshell cut his forehead quiter badly. So bad in fact that he was taken to nearby UCH and had 5 stitches. I was arrested and charged with assault and got a 3 month suspended sentence and 48 hours community service! I can't even look at an Easter egg now!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
