mandragoraIt's been ages since I made an LJ entry, but I so enjoyed reading everyone else's 'Ten things' entry that I've made one of my own:
1. Been white-water rafting down the Zambezi River by Victoria Falls
2. Suffered from gangrene.
3. Posed topless for a professional photographer. What? The photos were *art*! Honest.
4. Been hit by an oil tanker (oil truck in American parlance) whilst cycling in Enid, Oklahoma. I survived. The bike didn't.
5. Gone out with 3 guys at the same time, none of whom knew about the others, until the point when all of us attended the same party.
6. Hidden from the police, who were chasing me at the time, by climbing on top of a transit van.
7. Been banned from court by an irate judge.
8. Suffered concussion from a skiing accident, in which I left a 40 feet long trail of blood in the snow.
9. Been hit on the head with a poker.
10. Sung karaoke at a bar in Beijing with several high-ranking members of the Chinese Communist Party.

Date: 23 February 2005 20:19 (UTC)So, when they saw a few of us, um, acquiring, some cones they came after us. We scattered for maximum chance of getting away, and a couple of us, myself and a friend, ran down an alley with a constable in pursuit. Unfortunately, the alley ended in a wall, which I thought I had no chance of climbing, so I shimmied up onto the top of the van. My companion, who was male, climbed over the wall. The copper saw him do it and climbed over the wall after him. Leaving me free to climb down and saunter off.
The policeman didn't catch my friend either. *g*
#7 is unrelated and involved my mobile phone going off whilst I was representing a client. The judge was a miserable old git and ordered me out of the court and told me not to return. Luckily I've managed to avoid him ever since.
