Ah, I don't know Leicester, I was only there for 4 months before running screaming.

If it was a posh store near the fountain then it was probably Fenwicks

How did I miss this thread. The ex, right after the son was born. Some things must remain regardless the lead up.

1980. Student trip to Prague. Completely pissed and stark bollock naked, kneeling on window ledge having a wazz. I was on the 15th floor and right on the edge of the window ledge.

That one still gives me the shivers.

Was the son born to the ex or did you have the ex waiting outside for the (then) current to give birth?

Similar experience. We used to leap from a gantry onto a mooring rope tied to a pipe which ran over a canal and railway. The place we leapt from was about 20ft up in the air over a concrete tow path and above the canal, rope swinging over the canal and slightly over the railway.

I went back there years ago and looked at it; I too shiver at the thought.

Also shivers when I recall various hotel balconies, it is sometimes a wonder to have just survive youth.

I was responsible for the deaths of a fair number of people while on active service in the military. I don't know if I would have the stomach for it now. I suspect that I would still be able to pull the trigger, I just don't know if I would wish to put myself in the position where I would have to do so.

As one matures (read: gets older!) one prefers to be seated for the evening...which avoids many stumbles later! The even dozen was always a good benchmark for the evening!

Riding three-up back from the pub to our summer job house! It was VERY rural though! And we did ride carefully-ish!

Where was that? Are you troubled by it at all or able to deal with it?

Almost Canadian

It was all over. I am able to deal with it.

That is amazing strength of mind. Going and dealing with it thereafter.
I do not think everyone can be a soldier - I know I couldn't.
