I forgot one!
Walking home from town (yes I'd had a couple but by no means drunk), got off the train at Ashtown, and walked home down the towpath of the Royal Canal (Dublin, remember) about 10:30pm, dicking about on my iPhone looking for music and was conscious of making sure I was walking on the path itself. Anyway, I wasn't, stepped onto the grass verge, and fell into the canal.
Went under, and grabbed the rushes which of course just uprooted. Memory lets me down here but I got out, iPhone intact and safe, and squelched my way home, sodden jeans, shoes ruined jacket ruined, bits of black 'stuff' in my hair.
I should mention I can't swim and have a fear of water.
The very spot (looking the other way)....
