» I just don't get it
Dancing
Or more specifically, watching it.
I can understand people liking the music, the show, the atmosphere, whatever, but I just don't get why people like to watch disco dancing, ballroom dancing, or some such.
And Dance Fever, or whatever they call it. Reality TV and dancing. Why?

Railings
When I was nine, we were kicking a football in the street when the ball went over a fence into an old church. I volunteered to climb over and retrieve the ball.
I get to the top and slip, landing on the hedge running behind the fence. As I can't move my leg, I think I'm trapped and start yelling for help. Turns out one of the spikes on the top of the railings had entered my leg and was nearly protruding from the other side.
An ambulance crew turns up and try to lift me off the fence but stop when I tell them to stop, so someone arrives with a hacksaw and cuts the spike off and off I go in the ambulance with a 6 inch spike sticking out of my leg.
It took the surgeons 5 hours to remove it and left me with a scar running from my crotch to my knee.

This is David Lander
I used to work in an office round the corner from Battersea Heliport. One day they were filming a TV comedy program called 'This is David Lander' in front of the building.
The scene involved the lead actor running out of the entrance to our building being chased by reporters, then heading up the road into a helicopter waiting at the heliport and flying off.
My office was right above the entrance so we spent most of the day watching them film about 10 takes for this, peering out of the windows. Most of the time we were p*&&*&g ourselves laughing, as everytime they ran out of the building, the camera crew and all of the production team (about 20 of 'em) would run out into the busy main roud outside the office and follow the actors. There were a couple of near misses, but no-one got run over.
They also used to film a lot of 'The Bill' episodes around there and where I lived, so I got into the background there a couple if times. I was also annoyed one time when I couldn't go into the shop on the way to work as they were filming a robbery in there.
