When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.

woo, this morning!Was cycling into work a bit groggily this morning when I realised something felt a bit weird. Realised about halfway there that the rear brake cables had suddenly stretched all to fuck and I was facing the prospect of a pretty steep downhill ride through Daily Mail country (fuckwits in landrovers and audis pulling out without looking or stopping suddenly without indicating) with only my front brakes able to actually stop me. Potential for flipping over the front wheel anyone?
After the initial fear I got that feeling of "fuck it, haven't injured myself on this bike yet, let's go!".
In the end it was quite uneventful...
