It is better to arrive 30 seconds late in this world than 30 years early in the next

How apt your signature block! - fortunately the injuries are not any worse - but still a horrific thing.

Oh bugger, that's bad news at his age - I think he's 80.
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

I'd hate to be that lift supplier.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Actually, I hadn't thought of that. Pure coincidence I hasten to add :smt002

Well I admired him as a driver, but as an individual I think he stinks.

The phrase "look before you leap" springs to mind in regard to the comment (when they opened on the third floor while the lift was still a floor further up.)

Despite the severity of his injuries, his wife Lady Moss reports him to be in high spirits

I totally misread the last sentence and was going to comment that i bet she was in high spirits! the insurance money will be nice.

Then i re-read it.. so.. I bet HE is in high spirits.. the insurance money will be nice
