Be very thankful. Currently we have this on our local news website: "Live updates as Cardiff road closed after reports of a man attacking a car with a hammer".
A friend of mine has just seen this notice at Cardiff Queen Street station: "Due to Judgement Day this station will be closing at 5pm". Does Jesus know?
Anyway, how do they know the day and time so precisely?
This man went to court to prove his ‘cellphone’ was a hash brown. He won.
Intriguing! In fact, a policeman thought he had seen the man using his mobile phone while driving, when in fact he was eating a hash brown. - The case was overthrown in court!
Putting on mascara, polishing one's nails, or shaving are in the same category of "as stupid as texting while driving." I am SO glad I rarely have a need to drive during rush hour.
I generally avoid eating in the car, even while parked. But I'll admit to snagging a hash brown and stuffing my face with it while driving.
We've had this discussion before, and you'll get a set of contributions from busy urban areas utterly horrified at the idea that you might do anything except drive whilst driving, and some from less urban areas who are saying things like "I drive 500 miles to get breakfast - of course I eat on the way".
Eating (assuming you choose something sensible to eat) is not nearly as bad as texting whilst driving. I find myself eating a sandwich or something whilst driving from time to time. As long as you plan your strategy for taking a mouthful in advance, and take care with the time that you choose to take a bite, it's not too bad.
As a point of comparison, I have, on a "closed course", attempted to send a text whilst driving. That's completely crazy. There's just no comparison between the two at all. I have to look at my phone for far too long at a time to text whilst driving.
I've never worn mascara at all, but given the difficulty that I have applying it to other people, I can't imagine doing it whilst actually driving would be anything other than a disaster.
I confess to doing the hashbrown thing myself today. But those things are specifically shaped and packaged (in paper) in such a way that you can snarf them without for a moment taking your eyes off the road.
Songwriter praises NHS after being wounded while walking dogs
I know what it means to you Brits, but over here NHS is the National Honor Society, a high school organization that honors bright students. Surely it will accept the songwriter in question as an honorary member regardless of his IQ.
And another paradox: being stung by certain prickly, needly things in his arm should not come as a great surprise to the young man, seeing his reputation!

Assessing the many dangers posed by Wesley
Yeah, some of those sermons were hell and brimstone, weren't they? And forget about the hymns and one's tonsils -- oh, those descants!
A bit of a random choice of spared animals, methinks...!
Water contaminated in Paradise
But that's OK. They only drink milk and honey, don't they?
I'll bring a few dozen just for you.
next it will be the duster
Which strikes me as a bit strange, so shortly after Good Friday and all that...
