I have just been struck by lightning!

[Don]

F**K!

I am shaking like a leaf. Cycling home I was suddenly in blizzard conditions. Thunder. Bright lightning flashes.

I get half way when BAM! Yaaaaaaarrrggghhh!!! And I get a jolt up through my arms like the mains.

Holy Moly....

You've never seen a fat old man pedal like that.

Still shaking. I was supposed to be going out tonight. Screw that. I need a drink....

[Don]

Christ my arms hurt...

[dazren]

Crikey.

Don't drink too much Don, you've got to get on yer bike again tomorrow morning!!

DAZ

Edited to say can any medical types out there in PH land recommend anything Don should be doing to ease the pain in his arms? or a good scotch perhaps.....

Cool!

[tony_996hasgone]

I think you're supposed to get it checked out at the hospital.... no medical expert, but electricity and the heart don't go too well together.

[dazren]

Don, are you sure it wasn't some new type of Gatso being tested?

DAZ

[Bonce]

Maybe it's God's way of telling you not to use a pushbike when you've got two perfectly good cars?

Joking aside, glad you're alright, it must've been quite shocking.

[Incorrigible]

Do you work on the busses ........

.........as a conductor

Seriously, glad to hear you're OK

[condor]

Heard that a 'fry-up' is good

Glad to hear you're OK

[nevpugh308]

I think it's shocking how you're taking the mickey ...

[Bonce]

Well, Don has got a lightning wit.

[roadsweeper]

Wow! That must have been an electrifying experience!

Glad you're OK!

[JonRB]

You were quick as a flash with that retort, Bonce.

(Hope I didn't steal anyone's thunder with that gag)

[nighthawkEP3]

Don

Glad you got ohm safely,in the current weather conditions it could have been a shocking experience which could have made a potential difference to your life.

Time to relax and have a wee dram i think

[JonRB]

(Apallingly groanworthy, Brian. )

You weren't riding over a wheatstone bridge, were you Don?

(Seriously - glad you're ok)

Yeah, he should be plugged-in to a heart monitor.

[Martin A]

Wire you not at hospital now. Get yourself checked out and get well soon

[Don]

It might be worth getting your arms checked mate, can't lightining do something wierd like burn you on the inside? Don't want to alarm you and I might not be correct, just don't wanna see a fellow PHer suffer if it could be sorted. Even when they do drive a Boxster

hope the arms are ok

It must have been revolting to have been struck.
Still, this thread will give you a spark of interest on an otherwise neutral evening

Time to sit back and disipate your new found capacitance over a scotch.


On a side note........have you checked to see if anything glows in the dark yet
