Nearly died of fright!

[annedonnelly]

Just pootling along a quiet country road last night. In the middle of a level crossing when the warning sirens started to warn that the barriers were closing. Probably jumped about three feet in the air.

I imagine there was a guy sitting in a signal box somewhere killing himself laughing.

 

[Garz]

Haha, yes your probably right. At least your aware of that one now!

Off topic, but...
what is the significance of the partially crossed-out list of numbers in your signature? I've noticed one or two other posters with them...

 

[ianrauk]

I would hazard a guess at mileage

Is this what's known as "Double guessing"?

 

[Spinney]

Makes sense - so Garz can do 30 miles and is working up to 50 miles...

 

[Garz]

Yep although I played 6-a-side last night and tore my hamstring, thoroughly pissed off as I wont be able to cycle for 2-3 weeks!

I was crossing a level crossing last night and the sirens went off, but I didn't jump because I'm cool

Oh, and the crossed out numbers are how many miles my longest trip has been.

I'm hoping to do 30 some time this week

Dang - I thought they were top speeds
