Thread: Aaaargh

Spent nearly all day yesterday driving up and down the south coast, returning the hire car they gave the missus when her car was written off, then collecting her new car from the dealership the other side of Brighton.
This afternoon she went to get the weekly shop we did not have time for yesterday, as she was walking away from the new car an ancient toyota driven by an elderly man in a string vest and tatoos swung into the next parking space, clipping her rear wing as he did so. Aaaargh.

On 4th December 1988, at about 8 a.m., I was stopped at a red light, in my cab, outside the Royal Brisbane Hospital. The lights changed to green but for some reason I didn't react. Away with the fairies probably. The first thing I knew about it was a terrific bang up the clacker. A nurse going off duty and half asleep had seen the lights change to green as she approached from behind but hadn't registered that I was still stationary. I copped a delayed case of severe whiplash and consulted a solicitor about a claim for damages. He told me that in his experience the most common occurrence for drivers who'd been through an incident of this nature was for something similar to happen to them again shortly thereafter. He had no explanation for it, just stated it as a statistical fact. I made a liar of him. Your missus sort of fits the bill.

Human beings work by seeing relationships, the evidence points to the ontological world being chaotic, in any macro or micro view of the universe this becomes apparent, it is only in our own scale we perceive the order in events. This search for order systems appears to be a universal, all humans, all cultures.There are not many things that is true of.
