When on way home from a pub crawl at 4am, you fall over a hedge then can’t get up.

While in a very busy pub on Friday night watching the England football match I was offered a seat with a back on, not a barstool, as "we don't want you falling off' and someone offered to walk me to the wet slippery floor gents, so that I wouldn't 'have a fall'. Notice that when they think you're old it's "have a fall", not just "fall over".
Were you pissed?

No, it's a league. I play in the North West Kent and Bromley leagues. We play each team home and away through the winter months.

And your mates - instead of laughing at you and taking the piss as they should - are all concerned and wondering if you’ve broken your hip.

The effect of the so called 'weak force' on 25kg bags of limestone chippings seems to have increased over time.

On my recent visit to the Seamus Heaney museum, they have the actual fax machine on which he received the fax informing him that he had won the Nobel prize.
There were a group of school kids there on a school trip and they didn't know what a fax machine was so their teacher gathered them around it and explained the joys of fax to them.
Amazing how tech has advanced and the new generation hasn't a clue what a once-common piece of office equipment is. I remember fax machines perfectly well...

I was a little bit, but I still struggle when I haven't had a drink. Going back to the pub, there were lots of waving arms, people backing (reversing) without looking and other hazards. 'A fall' could've meant another broken hip/leg.

Mind you, maybe breaking my hip/leg might be a blessing in disguise as if it was to happen they would operate the following day and give me a hip replacement. Whereas now I'm on a never shortening list and looking at probably another 2 to 3 years before I'm offered one. It'd only be a blessing in disguise though if I was to break the problematic right hip and not the ok left one!!

My younger daughter has bought her second house (selling the first to do so). Never mind siblings kids. And my eldest grandchild is in tertiary college.

Or two boxes.
One by the side of the bed for morning tabs and one in the kitchen for evening tabs.
