Now that the snows been here for a couple of days and we've got over the honeymoon of how pretty it is and are now coming to realise it's a bit of a nuisance can we please get on to the more serious subject of the funniest scene of someone falling over wether you know them or not. I'm still trying to figure out if the old lady falling down the stairs at the top of Crystal palace park was funnier than the monumental drop our site manager suffered on the scaffold this morning. Over to you.

Well, bigbadwolf, I've spent the last two days at work in an Emergency Department.


Since I came on duty four hours ago we've seen three broken hips, four broken wrists, one broken ankle and a dislocated shoulder. None of them were laughing.


The thing is that old people falling over, particualrly down stairs, often leads to serious, even life limiting, injury.

And that's not really funny, is it?

Steady on chaps, I agree an elderly person falling is definitely not a laughing matter, but I always remember a teacher dropping at school, and make no apologies for still smiling to myself about it. Our very own lovely saffa Brendan has said on another thread that he laughed at a guy in a suit taking a tumble. There is not always something wrong about laughing at others' misfortune! (old ladies are am exception though).

I fell over twice on Monday whilst walking home from the pub. The first time was when I decided to get involved in one of the many pitched snowball battles that were breaking out on Lordship Lane. The second time was when I was rolling a giant snowball up the path to my house and I tripped forward and landed on my face in the snow. I?m not sure whether it was the first or second tumble that broke the eggs I was carrying but they were both pretty funny.

When I say old lady she wasn't that old and laughed it off but when I think about it Annaj you do have a point as the elderly do come off alot worse than younger folk concerning broken bones and the like. i'm afraid the enviroment I work in isn't as sensetive as a hospital so I suppose it's not surprising when my gallows/barrackroom humour hits a raw nerve with some other forumites.

Yeah, sorry about the homophobic stuff I posted last night which was a bit out of order considering it was unsolicited. I personally don't have anything against gays as if you don't find members of the opposite sex attractive then it's not exactly your fault so if you want to weigh anchor in poo harbour and have your shite shoved back a fortnight them thats fine by me........Oh shit I've done it again. I'll be on the naughty step if you want to hit me.

I managed to fall over before the snow even made an appearance - I was running round Peckham Rye and tripped over my own big feet! I'd been to spin class the day before so my excuse is that my knees were wobbly - didn't stop me looking like a complete t*sser as I went arse over tit in the middle of the street! ::o


I totally grazed my right knee and the heels of my hands and still look like I've been fighting in the playground almost 2 weeks later :-$

Respect to the Bigbadwolf - if he gets shouted down, he does net get all grovelly and beg for apologies but like a real wolf, he comes out fighting.

Seems to work on a building site though - probably not trained/brainwashed by overzealous HR departments to "say nothing interesting or you lose your job" like the rest of us get emailed in new company policy updates every year/month/week.

    • Not everyone has a passport. Not everyone has a driving licence. If you have nothing to hide, I can't see the problem. And hypothetical assumptions about what a future government might do could apply to many things. That is not a good reason not to do them (imo). If Farage forms a government we will have plenty to worry about apart from digital ID.
    • If you and I already have various government id and use them effectively, why do we need another?  I need to travel abroad, then I use my passport. I need to drive, I need my licence. I need to check my tax, NI or whatever online, I need a government id. This is all fair enough. However, I should not have to and I will not produce my papers on demand for simply existing in my country.  Illegal employers currently exploiting migrants without physical id will continue to do so, knowing the worst consequences they will face is that their limited company might be fined.   Can you imagine what misuses a Farage government might put a compulsory id system to? Opposition to what may well become this government’s Poll Tax will be considerable. The petition to parliament is already up to 2.5 million: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/730194  
    • I have no problem with it. Don't understand why civil liberties groups are against it and why there has been so much historic resistance to the introduction of ID cards. We already have passports, surely not so very different?
    • Hello, I’m Saria, a local collector and curator of antique children’s dresses based in East Dulwich. I’m looking for a little model girl aged 2–3 or 4–5 years old to take part in a very relaxed photoshoot in my studio in East Dulwich. The purpose is simply to photograph my antique dresses being worn, so I can share some images on Instagram and show how they look on a child. The shoot will be very simple, and will last for a morning between 9am to 12. A parent/guardian will of course need to be present at all times, and I will provide a short consent form confirming how the photos may be used. I am offering £100 as a thank you. If you are interested, please DM me with a recent picture of your child. I will make a selection once I have received responses and will let you know if your child has been chosen. Thank you! Saria
