I had a heavy work briefcase once around my shoulder and neck and stepped forward into a taxi bending to miss the roof and the briefcase fell forward and so did I with the momentum and I fell flat on my face onto the taxi floor - the driver thought I'd been drinking it was awful moment to convince him otherwise. My colleagues cracked up. I have never ever worn a briefcase around my neck since. Trauma ! CB

Don't want to laugh, but I bet it was funny x x x xhugs x x x

they still tell it years later. I have never lived it down. It is funny now but at the time I nearly knocked myself out and the taxi driver was not amused at all !! Honestly my life has been one calamity after another, I am told I could write a book !! CB x

It'd be a great book, I'm sure! I can just imagine the taxi driver's face thinking you were three sheets to the wind.

Problem was I had severely torn my knee ligaments dancing and my knee kept giving way. I have had three knee operations since. I put it down to too much 'jumping Jack Flashing' in my youth!!! X x x xhugs x x x
Oh how the other half live!!!

There is a theme here as my knee gives way all the time now, you poor thing I didn't have ops though so probably not as bad - but then again I'm not sure I danced to jumping jack flash, more Donna summer and also that well known ring my bell ell ell ring my bell. ! but even the other day my knee gave may getting into a car and I slammed my forehead onto the metal frame of the door jam. Bruise galore ! Penance for bad dancing days then it sounds ! x

CB.... I struggle to work how dancing to anything Donna Summer sang and 'ring my bell' could contribute to 'knee conditions!!' They are hardly dynamic rock musicians. Lol )
When I went for physio before my first operation he said it was a serious 'sports' injury, only seen by extreme sports persons...... I wish. Bit of a comedown when I had to say extreme dancing at an age when I was expected to know better.
Unfortunately I do recall the road to knee surgery which included random failings of the knee joint like you describe.... I would often be unable to get out of my car as my knee had 'locked' and I couldn't bend it....and many times spent weeks with knee pain only to find a slight 'click' stopped it. X x x. Hugs x x x

If you were a teenager in 1986 you would have danced to Jumping Jack Flash.....I guess my problem was I wasn't a teenager!!! X x x x. Hugs x x

Ha - I'm not ready for dodgy knees just yet. A previous prolapsed disc and sciatica has done my back in over the past few years.
When I'm feeling energetic I use Just Dance on the Wii. I recommend Rasputin to anyone who wants a workout!!

Ha! I think it would have been more to do with the Patsy style drinking during the dancing and not the music per se. The knees, hips and arms wouldn't have been in sync with any of the music I shouldn't think. !
