Thanks Anoree, and i'm glad "yours" was minor as well. "Mine", well It's gotten easier to deal with over the years that's for sure.
I know what Mart is feeling right now, "What if she were badly injured" " She could have been killed!" I know the latter all too well. It took about two years to finally start to get on with my life. What keeps me sane when i do think about it is, If your drunk and riding a bike in heavy traffic, you get what you deserve. I know it sounds harsh, but i still to this day send flowers every year to the family for his grave.

I'm so sorry i brought back a bad memory Immortal, i know it can't be easy to put it to back of your mind. that's really kind sending flowers for the boys grave.

Thanks for the words Immortal, Anoree, Captnjack.

Of cause your right Immortal, guess my post didn't help though, sorry my friend. Time for a new subject.

Time for something completely different as John Cleese would say.
Any Monty Python Or Fawlty Towers fans out there? Love the dead parrot sketch.

I love John Cleese! Monty python, Fawlty towers, Keeping up appearances, Benny hill, the young ones, OMG the list goes on. So yes, Big fan of British comedy here. Anyone remember the show, "Prisoner, cell block H"? whatever happened to that one?

I'm a big fan of Brittish Comedies.First fell in love with them with Monty Python.Some I love better then others Red Dwarf was pretty much at the bottom of the list and Coupling is one of the top 5 for me.Had just finish rewatching all the seasons thanks to netflix.

All but 1 of the jobs I had as a teen were at pet shops. Oddly, we could never get the Norwegian Blue parrot in. Must have been too popular after M Python. Not surprising really--very quiet, doesn't eat or drink much (or at all), but very lovely, much like a museum specimen...

And as for Basil Fawlty, I have learned that jumping about wildly, shaking your fist at the sky is a great way to relieve stress! (But I have a terrible fear of Canadian moose heads now ...)

Check out the joke thread Captnjack and anyone who likes Monty Python.

The dead parrot is one of my favorite sketch.

I love British comedy and especially Monty Python! John Cleese played some of the funniest characters on that show. In addition to the store clerk in the "Parrott" sketch, he was the village idiot (My brain hurts!!), and the "Minister of Silly Walks". Cleese was also great in Monty Python and the Holy Grail too, which he also co-wrote. Who can forget the "Black Knight" ("It's only a scratch!!" "Come back here, I'll bite your legs off!") and that smarmy French guard ("I fart in your general direction").

I don't go as far as saying they get what they deserve, but some ask for accidents to happen. Whether they drive on the wrong side of the street, drunk, without light in the dark, ..., or all together.

I think it's comforting for the biker's family that he is not forgotten.
