I was having a right crap morning till I read that, really funny

 

[KevM]

I had a bit of the same bother in a place I lived a few years back from the neighbour across the road. I've no idea what power the light was, but I could actually (just) read by it. I'd mentioned it to him very politely a couple of times, and nothing changed. I finally got the hump with him when he came to get me to sign a petition to get the parish council to replace the existing street lights with night sky friendly ones (the ones that don't shine up), I gladly signed while pointing out the irony of his request - he didn't see the irony. On crossing the road back to his driveway his searchlight came on and he, temporarily blinded, stumbled and tripped cracking his head on a dwarf wall between his and his neighbour's driveway. I rushed over to help, and did what I could but he was clearly concussed so I suggested his wife call for an ambulance to take him to A&E. She was concerned that this might take too long and so decided to drive him there herself. On backing their immaculate but oldish BMW 7 series down the drive his wife managed (there was quite a slope across the driveways, but I've still no idea how) to get one wheel just over the dwarf wall leaving it spinning wildly in free space. Apparently she'd been blinded by their searchlight, got disoriented and panicked. By this point I could barely stand and was light-headed from trying not to laugh, so volunteered another neighbour to take them to hospital, on account of how I'd been drinking... The following week their handyman replaced the searchlight with a little bulkhead light and some driveway markers. They never spoke to me again.

That's very funny. It's put a big smile on my face. Thank-you.

Once again I need to clean coffee off my keyboard and laptop screen. You've made my day Kev :mrgreen:

I did start to think I should be checking for the hidden camera - it was almost too perfect.
