Dom Churchill 2,611 Posted July 1, 2014 so, this afternoon we visited murano island to visit the glass making factory. When we emerged from the demonstration we were strolling along the canal enjoying the sunshine and browsing the many shops when an oldish gentleman immediately in front of us lost his footing and fell into the canal. He completely disappeared below the surface. We both dropped our stuff and lay face down on the edge when suddenly he popped up. As we reached for him he dropped below the surface again. Clearly he could not swim and as he flailed around MrMetoo managed to grab his shirt and drag him to the edge. We both held on to him and a local builder who was working near by helped to haul him out. Poor guy vomited and was very shocked as was his companion who was crying. So glad we were so close when he fell in, he could so easily have drowned. Well done MeToo's ha ha. That man owes you a huge heaps of gratitude. Good onya!!

Dom Churchill 2,611 Posted July 1, 2014 Off to bed soon - I've come to realise I'm way past the age where I can go to bed at 3am, get up at 7am and then go and do a full days work :SLEEP: Ha ha.....I am getting that way too......ha ha No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life It may be hard but ooh ooh it's the only way Always remembering there ain't no second prize There ain't no second prize Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dom Churchill 2,611 Posted July 1, 2014 Well, the end of another of day of being overworked, underpaid and most definitely under-appreciated. I made a lovely dinner for FD before I started work and what happens? He comes home and can't eat it due to dental work :frown:. Just watch this space, tomorrow I won't cook and he'll be starving - sods law. Well, I'm not worrying about it as life is too short (plus extra dinner for me) @Metoo, you did well saving that man from drowning. I hope he was suitably appreciative :wubclub: You mean you had a spare delicious dinner?!!! Awwwwww maaaaaan!!!!!!

Dom Churchill 2,611 Posted July 1, 2014 Metoo, well done! Right place and right time wasn`t it? I`m getting ready for my first interview in Australia :eek: ( if I don`t count the one over the phone months ago ). A bit scared to be honest, hope I can charm them enough to give me a job when I show up personally :laugh:. How did it go Maruska? I am sure you got the job as soon as you walked into the room No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life It may be hard but ooh ooh it's the only way Always remembering there ain't no second prize There ain't no second prize Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
