(That slow-mo thing you get when you're in the middle of impending doom is quite cool though)
Yeah, I had one after skidding on black ice and going into a cork screw through a ditch and having the roof cave in as it was happening. My impendus doom came with a "How on earth am I going to pay for this now?" but the slow-mo was a trip all in itself.

does that count?
1 over here for no. Accidents are a dime a dozen. Aren't they??:)

Or Alnus acuminata, evergreen alder.
Thanks. I don't think I'll be growing any. :)
@ Dyan
I was thinking that after it was too latte to edit. Plus my research had shown my mistakes also. -
Ok, so now I 'm checking on the spelling and it does appear to be "Alder", but, there are no Mexican ones. There is Italian, Alnus Cordata (12m) or , Glutinosa native to Europe, Asia or North Africa,(18-20m), Incana,also native of Europe and North America(15m) but no Mexicano. Still my information suggests they are best planted in open areas away from buildings, and in moist soil. I guess all n' all David, bad idea from the get go huh? :)

how big is that thing gunna get??
Hey, with all due respect Christopher ( and wee Mexican Elder) and really don't need to step in, I am sure, but, I have a few Bay trees (Portuguese Bay laurel) and in hot weather they get up to 10 metres but in cold they are considerably different, yet still grow nicely. So David may have thought south side , bit cold. less chance , limited info by the retailer etc. etc. Still, continuous pruning can reduce water consumption and clay soil will jam the doors every summer.That should be common knowledge eh? ;)

Is it poisonous?
Heh, it's mexican. Eye for eye innit. :)

They had beautiful deep green leaves, and delicate branches that swayed gently in the summer breeze.
They didn't ask for much did they? There you were ready and able to annihilate. Well, well. .... ;) On a lighter note(fnah fnah) We have just saved 6 acres from ever being chopped down ('cept of course the building site.)
Frankly it was irresistable. -
tend to come bundled with increased public scrutiny.
Yeah and as Damian pointed out..
Which is not to say you shouldn't say what you think about the changes at bFM, but let's try and keep the ad hominem attacks to a minimum.
I merely think most of us have a pretty good idea of how scrutiny can very quickly descend into a gutter, and look how many times the media can drag a "well known" there. Hey, because, everyone is different, can we not accept that some are more sensitive than others. I think it's kinda sweet that so much personal offence was taken. To me that means he cares about what all of us actually do think. But, at the same time, if someone is performing for the public and some of the public don't like it, it often is directed at the individuals personal traits, thus making it personal.(and feel like that,if you actually care about your audience)
I personally am sure the bfm wont suffer too much. Hell we got several shows over 168 hours a week. may all of them be filled with happy, happy, joy, joy, and good issues of the day and of course the best music. innit :) -
The discussion this morning was awkward. I didn't feel it was the right time and place to be having it. But oh well ...
kinda thought you half knew it would eventuate (re your previous comment about feeling uncomfortable). Think it also shows that people can hurt others without realising how cutting their words can be, and obviously for some it may feel like it is extremely personal when one is a major part of the subject matter. I would have taken this personally if I was Mikey. He may be larger than life (a bit much for some) but I reckon he is the best Mikey Havoc there is. Not perfect though,eh? He has my support for keeping his job. Why should he need to forfeit that which he loves and imo is extremely good at.
Keeping it real, both of you, showed me he was hurt and you Mr Brown, were the ever consummate diplomat. Both showed great skill with the silences. Jus' sayin' :)
