Life has a funny way...

... of making you look like a complete arsehole at the most typical of moments.

Today I was walking down to a lecture with a couple of girls off my corridor, whom I don't really know that well, and it had been raining, so the smooth parts of the pavement were quite slippery.

We decided to take a short-cut down a back-alley, since we were running a bit late, and the surface was comprised of flagstones. I observed to Kat; "I hate walking on these when it's wet - I always think I'm gonna fall on my arse..."

Well, you can all guess what happened in that very instant. I was on my arse quicker than you can say 'slippery flag', and I'd dirtied my clean-on pants, looking like a right tramp.

Sometimes I think life is just laughing at me...
