And, in an almost cosmic piece of coincidence....
I just looked out the window and saw another of our local, er, "characters".

I'm currently sat in a bath robe in bed, suffering from a mild cold and a major hangover. My friend phoned me a few minutes ago and when I'm on the phone, I pace, so I got up and started wandering around. As I passed the window, I thought something was amiss outside, and closer inspection proved me right. There, on the grass behind the leisure centre, lay the woman who lives down the street. I thought at first she was dead, but she slowly struggled to her feet. It was like watching Bambi, but with the cute deer replaced by a witch. As I watched, she staggered out into the car park, where she promptly went down like a sack of potatoes again. I was about to get dressed and go over to help when som passing kids helped her up and took her home.

She went down like a ton of bricks in that car park! She'll probably not feel it though.
