Re: Whats the closest you have ever come to Death...?
I was moving a cow down an alleyway. Suddenly she decided to turn around. Unfortunately she trapped me against the wall and she was too big to turn around. Cows being cows she wasn't going to give up easily and she started to crush me. It's the only time I've whacked an animal across the face. She did get the message before I was damaged.

A ruptured ectopic Pregnancy....I was blue when the Paramedics got to me and I remember giving into a sense of calm and feeling quite O.K about it. I'm not fearful of my own death anymore.....

In the absence of any preggars related or exploding cow brushes with death I'd have to say either
A) Mareeba
B) Living with a flat mate who had the Sex in the City box set
C) May be Dengue? But I felt so crap I wouldn't have cared

Well I grew up in Rochester so used to venture into the Big Brother land of Chatham quite regularly, but you are right I was not submitted to it 24/7

As a 15 year old was in a housefire which killed my friend's mother. If not for my friend's coughing waking me up we would have all died. It's been over 30 years and I can still remember every detail like it was yesterday.
