This is absolutely the way to look at that level of intimacy IMO because that’s how I view it.

The day my dad died, nearly 23 years ago now, was also the day that I knew I’d ask my wife to marry me.

It was a long illness and he was relatively young. We were living together and I had just sucked it up for 18 painful months. Never cried once.

Anyway the day came and I got home and just cracked when we went to bed. I just sobbed in the bed with her. Like a real, deep, deep sobbing.

She just held me and rubbed my hair and I will never, ever forget that.

Anyway about 8 months later I asked her to marry me and we’re married over 20 years now and have a beautiful family together. I love her so much.

I was involved in a crash many years ago where this resulted in the car in front of us getting pushed into an oncoming car. We were stopped behind a car indicating to turn, hit from behind by a bus (going quite fast), pushed hard into the car in front and they ended up getting smashed from behind and in front.

Don’t turn your wheel until you’re ready to move, folks.

Yeah that’s the one I just watched it through. Thanks for the link. Absolutely reckless behaviour from the owner after the previous crack event on dive 80 to go down again. Just so many bad choices.

Fascinating that they had the data to tell them it wasn’t safe and just ploughed ahead without examining it.

What the fuck? That’s mental. I’d never heard that little nugget before.
