Pure instinct saves suicidal cockerpoo

[swee'pea99]

Riding back thru' the park, and fortunately I'd already slowed right down to avoid spooking a child as I went by, and suddenly a small white dog just appeared out of nowhere - which is to say, out of a shadowy hedge - and ran directly in front of my front wheel. Before I knew it, my back wheel was in mid-air: I'd grabbed my one brake - the front one - as hard as I could, purely by instinct, as I saw the flash of white. Stopped pretty much instantly, missing the hound by a whisker. It's the most exciting thing that's happened to me all year!

You're living on the edge, man!

I stood up too quickly earlier and I felt all dizzy. Quite enough excitement for me, I can tell you.

I ate a Kitkat earlier, beat THAT!!



Seriously though, well done on avoiding the dog!

Inspired by Swee'pea I thought, this is the night, and walked round my bed and got in from the other side. I'm not sure if it was a good idea, but it was exciting at the time..

I had two. Chunky ones and everything.

My excitement was getting my 20 yr old lad to change my wound dressing because no one else in the house would do it!
He has OCD so I know it was done to exacting standards. He'd make a great nurse!

I claimed my first 'scalp' today on the tricycle, guy in his 40s on an MTB, soft tyres and seat far too low (crapping dog position) and I just sailed past serenely, wearing a rucksack with my crutches sticking up like beetle antennae.

Not had a KitKat since the 30th April 1989.

Probably for the best, it's not for nothing that they're known as The World's Second Most Exciting Biscuit™

PMSL 'scrapping dog position'
Got 2 dogs who assume that position quite a lot, not going to be able to watch them now without imagining this bloke on a bike...

When you say Cockerpoo do you mean an overprice mongrel?

I can't contain my anger that a cocker spaniel/poodle crossbreed is a cockerpoo. I recently found out that a golden retriever/poodle mix is a goldendoodle, so why isn't this dog a cockerdoodle????

Then it would be Cockerdoodle Poo when it went for a No2
But would it be white.
