I’ve often been known as vaguely clumsy but yesterday was quite impressive. Previously, I’ve backed into occupied phone boxes, startling the person inside, locked myself out of my house on several occasions, fallen over a snowman flat on my face, ran full pelt into a glass door and so on.
Yesterday was just another incident to add to my list. As I came back to watch one of the World Cup matches after half-time I went to close the door and on moving towards the sofa, somehow managed to trip over my feet, fall flat on my arse and knock the cabinet on which the TV was on.
Now I wouldn’t say that my feet are big – they are fairly normal, but when my back hit the cabinet the following sound wasn’t good as I slowly heard the TV make a slow dive off it. Horrified as to the events that were slowly unfolding behind me I simply sat there, eyes tightly shut.
My friend came over and pulled up the TV and simply said “Zoe, it’s still working – look”. I slowly turned around and fair enough, the match was still going on.
Still mortified, I sat down and watched the rest of the match, but if you want a reliable and tough TV, go to Tesco.

Careful now. You don’t want to turn into me :p
And you call Andy a tw*t?
When the tv tilted, did the ball roll down the newly created slope?
I agree with John, you should change the name to “My Girlfriend is a (Clumsy) Twat”, and hand the reins over to Andy.
Isn’t this sort of thing bad for your back? Or did you get that from Tesco, too?
You DO have big feet. I’ve seen you in real life – your feet are massive, like canoes strapped to a penguin. And Tesco can’t do anything, anywhere (oh shit, that’s ASBO).
You do get a bit unsteady on your pins as you age – poor thing ….. I’m wondering exactly when one doesn’t just ‘fall down’ but has ‘a fall’ ……..
I’d ask if you can walk and chew gum at the same time, but it’s probably an oxymoron…
Actully, we’ve had ‘accidents’ with a couple of tellys in our house and they survived even though they weren’t from Tescos. Then there was the time the cat peed on a TV. It had to go and be repaired but it’s still working.
The cat is still working?
TV’s OK what about you?
I dreamt about you and Q last night. Nothing memorable in that I can’t remember other than you were visiting me in a garden which was unfamiliar and it was all vaguely pleasant.
Very funny. And of course the important thing is that you saw the end of the game. I imagine it was more amusing than either a French or English game anyway!
rivetting
anon 3 – it is, isn’t it? Especially as you watch a match being playing upside-down as the TV gets lifted up.
I fell on top of a TV in my drunken days, the TV came off better than me.
Debster, of course the cat is still working. We have seven of them and they go down the garden every morning with their spades and forks singing “heigh ho, heigh ho . . . . . ”
