Sitting quietly in a traffic jam last night on the M53, when wallop. eeek:
Lad in van behind me, apparently "didn't see me" ::)
I did mention the fact that he'd been following behind me for the past 20 minutes like and suggested specsavers.
Anyway, after exchanging the usual info, we re-joined the que....well I did. Not too sure about him as the front end of his kangoo was looking decidedly bent after hitting GROWLERS 4 wheeled buffalo.
Thing is, do I claim for whiplash as everyone is suggesting?
Bit of a moral issue here, as me neck is fine....being a big well 'ard grizzly like? 8)

Personally, I couldn't do it... noooo:

The ABI's report on the injury names the UK as the "whiplash capital" of Europe, accounting for three quarters of personal injury claims related to motor accidents
Well there's a bloody shock then ey? ::)
Rancid shit'ole

I have had dealings with this lately! When someone ran into the back of me on the M56 HIS insurance company kept calling me to enquire after my health.I told them I was fine. More fool me.
When I touched the back of another car in heavy traffic in January the daft bint took my insurance company for £10K!
The rozzers call it "whipcash" evil:

My car seems remarkably unscathed upon closer inspection this morning. confused:
Only damage I can see is a bent twin electrics bracket. confused:
Being badgered on another forum 'elsewhere' to go to the quacks to have me neck checked out like. ::)
WHY? It's not 'urtin ffs! Banghead

He'd have to admit liability and then take himself to court. Growler v. Growler. He'd be bound to win. Like those Williams sisters in the tennis, like.

I admire Growler's honesty but it would be as well to get checked out by the doctor ~ sometimes a delayed reaction or injury can show up and a medical report from now would be useful to follow up any subsequent claim. You have up to 6 years I believe.

Give it to someone for Christmas. eveilgrin:

Nephews, Nieces, Sister's in Law ~ there must be someone you know, don't like and who already has one ~ so give them this cheapo giveaway from Boots and and enjoy them trying to look as if they really wanted it. A win-win for Nick I'd have thought and at no cost.

The Boy has entered vocal and lengthy negotiations evil:

Well give him the bloody thing, it was free, it won't last beyond Christmas and it will keep him quiet. You did say you had two of them now anyway.

As Snoopy says, get it checked out. I believe whiplash can show itself up to 24 hours later. You have up to three years to lodge a claim

Well I knew there was a time limit ~ 6 years is probably the time limit for claiming a tax refund or summat.

Perhaps somebody wanted to stop him giving a sermon on Sunday ~ you know like putting sugar in his petrol tank

Fell onto the kitchen table while hanging curtians in the nude and the potato entered his bottom.
I am sure such things happen all the time.

Is there a "chip off the old block" joke in here somewhere...? rubschin:

No, but it is on topic!

Not that I know of but you must admit that Nick has more than a normal share of accidents and weird things happening to him and those around him.

I reckon if you delved into his murky past you'd find a vegetable incident or two... whistle:

I have never had an incident with any vegetable. OK?
I still have a small scar after an accident with a bicycle pump.

Sorry. Been out all...ish day painting me portacabin.
Quite simply, whilst I was still at Swamp 1 back in July, I decided to change a leaky shocky whilst waiting for a cussie like, like you do like. ::)
In order to gain easier access to said shocky, I decided that I needed to turn the lock over a bit, so leaned in through the open window to turn the motor over to activate the power steering.
Unfortunately, I failed to check that I'd left it in neutral though, and being in low ratio, and as the engine started, the car instantly drove itself off at approx 5 mph leaving me standing there with a gaping gob of disbelief, before coming to a sudden halt by ramming into the back of my other car. sad32:
Probably the daftest and most expensive self damage thing I've ever done to meself.

Hey Growler ~ shit happens.

Very suitable for the gaffes 'n' stuff thread Growler happy088

I suggest you sue yerself,like

This car of mine is haunted, along with the smoke alarm. scared2:
It's just taken upon itself after half an hour of being parked up, to roll itseld down the path and smash into the garage door whch is now split wide open. cussing:
Sitting here reading quietly I was. eeek:
I no longer need to go to the bog for a dump.
Good job the garage door was closed actually, or you'd have seen it on the screen.
-
Sue yerself!
-
And the whiplash?
-
And the whiplash?
I think I aged 10 years in a split second when it crashed into the garage door.
I DID shit meself! eeek:
Bloody weird, as the handbrake was still on, and is still werking.
I may well seek compo via the home insurance for a new garage door though, yes. Haven't claimed for owt in 18 years of residence here, so I might as well.
They'll no doubt wriggle out of it though. ::)
On the plus side, I've now got a ventilation hole for me smokes fumes to escape now like.

I think I might sell that car PDQ

No. I like it, but its arse does seem to be getting a bit of a battering over the past 4 months. cry:

New door 8th December! Sweet.
Didn't think they'd entertain the claim tbh, but no hesitation. confused:
Mrs GROWLER apparently felt guilty ringing them yesterday, but as i said, we're not exactly serial claimants. First claim in 14 years in fact! eeek:

Rafael Benitez suffered slight whiplash injuries after his car was involved in a minor road accident last night.
The Liverpool manager's BMW was hit by another vehicle while he waited at traffic lights at West Derby Road, Tuebrook.
After it was confirmed that everyone was well, the boss continued his journey and he reported to Melwood as normal this morning.
