According to the other half I'm already a bitch so the chainsmoking I don't see as a problem :D

Interesting... Mrs W. is apparently a USC. However, she calls it aluminium.

Well what else do you call an aluminum can?

What are you a f'ing detective? :rolleyes: In this one she calls it aliminuim, which is neither one or the other, does she mean pertaining to Alumni and why do I care? :p

“I have suffered from a number of nightmares and found it painful to walk for over a week after the incident. I find myself becoming paranoid in open spaces due to the unexpected nature of the incident and have lost both mobility and confidence."

I have all the details from the driver, his boss, the hospital, the aliminuim..do I have a case? Where should I go from here?



put a plaster on it and get on with your life.............OR ......as from reading the post I get the message that the guy is going to dream up all kinds of pain and emotional distress this has caused him..........come to think of it from now till the day he dies he may be afraid of gasoline powered engines of all kinds.....WOW how much is that worth......start adding it up......every night in his dreams he sees lawnmowers attacking him hmmmmm thats gotta be worth 50k alone........get a grip.......thats the reason why insurances asr so high over here.........I guess as you posted this on here and it is read available for the insurance agency to see that you may now be collecting ZERO.... :D :D :D :D :D :D

I call it aluminium. Americans call it aluminum. She called it aluminium. Right up until the point where she lost the plot and, as Gruff pointed out, called it aliminuim.

I'm just trying to work out whether this is a deliberate wind-up or a serious thread. I'm hedging on the side of deliberate wind-up at the moment.
