I been takin risks all my days.
Those I took on a push bike were by far the biggest,
mixin it with semi trailers doin 100k right past me only inches away
when i trained, for years, dressed in skin tight lycra.
That was worse than my "tempry 'Strayan" risk
I took on a succession of motor cycles and some with side cars;
my how brave the girls were in '69.

Boxes full of hundreds of volts don't frighten me as much
as the power saws, angle grinders, routers and planers I used when I was a
builder.

But fear breeds respect.

But yeah, one definately needs the right sort of respect for things
that'll kill ya.
