A trail of feathers would also be a good clue. Next time, just step sideways smartish. Mind yew, they both have fairly streamlined profiles (assuming aforementioned badger wasn't going sideways), so could be more difficult to spot than, say, a catapulted hippo. I can understand why it might take you by surprise. Tricky things, Trebuchets. And badgers. -- SimonM ----- TubeWiz.com ----- Video making/uploading that's easy to use & fun to share Try it today!

Oh, that's easy to say, isn't it? In the heat of the moment, much more difficult. Especially is it's foggy. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" can you see the light of need shinin' in my eye?
From: Ned Ludd on 17 Nov 2009 08:36 Hi guys I don't know, you turn your back for five minutes and 25 posts pop up. Re Flying nuns, rather than step sideways a horrible thought occurred, and I am bound for Hell for thinking it, but the thought of looking up a Nun's habit popped into my mind. Now where did I leave my medication? Ned Ludd

Cheers, S. *The ones wearing stilettos are the deceptively dodgy ones, the ones merely carrying them, yer usual assassnuns. And brogues can be just as fatal at supersonic speeds -- many victims never even see an ankle, well-turned or otherwise. -- SimonM ----- TubeWiz.com ----- Video making/uploading that's easy to use & fun to share Try it today!
