@steelworker One second I was saying to my wife how great it must be to be there and then the next second they we’re doing that fucking tomahawk chop,and I said ,I wouldn’t be doing that if I was there.

[SKT]

Agreed. It’s bad and needs to go.

Some numpty just drove into the back of us. Think Mrs H and I have mild whiplash, but more worried about Baby H, who seems fine, but she’s 7 months old so couldn’t tell us if she wasn’t. Called the doctors out of hours service and they have told us to wake her every hour to make sure she can wake up, so even if she is fine she’ll be ratty as hell tomorrow.

Don’t text and drive kids, you’ll fuck up your brand new Mercedes.

So glad we bought a larger motor last year.

@EdH Damn that sucks…keep us up to date with how everyone is doing especially Baby H.

[SKT]

@EdH hate that for you guys…keep us posted how everything goes.

[popvulture]

Yikes man! Glad everyone seems to be ok ️

[EdH]

Thanks all.

Got a bit of a headache and the neck feels a bit tight, both Mrs H and me. We’re probably being over cautious about Baby H, but like I say she couldn’t tell us if she wasn’t ok, so we’ve got to do the checking. She had a quick cry after the crash but settled quickly with some cuddles from Mum. Bath time and bedtime feed were all completely normal, no bruising or anything on her.

Shiiit what a berk @EdH . Hope you’re baby is okay, modern car seats are wonderful things so I’m sure she was nicely cocooned.

[Twistlock]

Hope you all will be well Ed!

[Nik]

Well done on not murdering @EdH hope you all feel better soon

[EdH]

@Nik Ha! Mate I have been the model crashee. I started by asking if HE was ok while Mrs H checked on the baby.

His Merc wasn’t going to make it very far, so he parked it round the corner from my place. I even texted him to say he’d left the window open and warned him that some of the late night visitors around here like to check if they can get into cars.

Best bit was when he asked me if I thought it was going to affect his no-claims bonus. I said “yeah, I used to be a road-traffic-accident lawyer, and yours is definitely going to be affected”.

Shit happens. We are ok. Hopefully another young man has learned not to text and drive before they had to learn an even harder way.

Properly installed infant seats are tough to beat for baby safety. They’re in there pretty good.

[scooter]

A prayer for each of you, @EdH

[EdH]

Thanks @scooter, I think we’re all good. Still got a lump on the back of my head and neck feels a bit twingey, might get checked out if the latter persists. The baby seems utterly fine and is her normal self.

@Matt yup, thank goodness she was all strapped in.

[AdamJ]

@EdH glad you're all ok and the Skoda did it's job, 'tis barely a scratch!

[Giles]

Best of luck baby H

[EdH]

@AdamJ @Giles Thanks both. Definitely appreciate being in a larger car now. My last car would have come off worse for sure. Baby H is OK, not worried about her one bit now. All passed on to insurance to deal with now.

@Matt You raise an interesting point/emoji.

Pain, suffering, mental anguish, loss of joy, fear of driving, inability to concentrate, chronic pain, unable to work…
