It's curious, I just watched the Bond equality thing and pondered on it. Thought it was quite good actually, if a little static.

Anyway, I am aware of abuse and violence and the general low opinion that people such as myself and many here are regarded with? In? Whatever. Still it was largely academic.

That is until last night....

.....when I was assaulted by a neighbour, just after dinner 7.30pm heading out the door, abused and punched in the face 3 times. Blood all through the entrance way to the units where I am and a lot of screaming and yelling.

Then call to the cops wait about for 40 mins or so covered in blood with a tea towel to my face. Basic details taken then driven up to copshop for a statement. Had to arrange a puppy sitter... An hour later all good but I needed a pee, fortunately... Then they drop me at the local hospital where I get seen by the triage nurse and then sit, for 2 hours. Finally

Hmm...nasty... I need says doctor to nurse...ummm...another half hour or so while they hunt down suitable fish-hook needles and assorted 'thread' . A lot of rubbing and wiping damn that hurt.

Then needle... "feel that?' 'Not really ' A dozen or so stitches a tetanus shot and finally, 'oh.. your nose is swollen we'd better Xray...another half hour... finally done and yep small fracture see ow you go 'here's a letter for your GP. On yer bike...No they didn't say that. They were over all pretty good as were the cops. ~~ 2.30AM~~ Walk the k or so home, pick up puppy, she pees her bedding in the night, nerves.

So assault charge to come. Court appearance at some point. Copies to managing agent for legal proceedings..Such fun.

So my devastatingly winning smile is likely to be a little crooked on the left side from now on, not just from my often wry look at life. More drama to follow most likely.

And just so ya know...drinking your morning coffee through a straw SUCKS.

Grin...Owww
