... should be done at the pub and not at A&E :(

Yup... I crashed the Chipcycle, fractured my left Scaphoid and now have the joy of 5 weeks with a cast on my left arm.

One handed typing sucks more than Riser in an Ohio rest room. What sucks even more is receiving the large bag of new bike bits I ordered last week and knowing I can't use any if it for at least a couple of months.

Unlucky, I remember hitting a drainage bump in a road stupidly not wearing a helmet, took the skin off my shoulder and a part of my ear as well as various scrapes. Was lucky not to have broken anything.

I hope you didn't stick your hand out did you? You may benefit from learning ukemi you know.

Yup... hand out, it was that or straight onto my shoulder. Bloody glad I had mitts on, I totally destroyed the palm on my gel ones doing it. 4 miles home one handed then taxi to casualty.

Have you been inspected by Dr. WingDing yet?

Chmip, never put your hand out. Whilst falling from a bike is not the easiest you may wish to land something like this.

A poor video but the best on short notice I could find. Note the arm position.

I see where you are coming from, I did do Judo for a short while as a kid. Issue was that one foot unclipped, the other didn't and ridding fixed the momentum lifted me clean up. Grabbed some brake to try and slow it but my weight was already well over the front. Bad news for me as it's the second time I've broken the same bone so risk of arthritic type issues in the future is higher.

OK, This is now past funny. Been to the fracture clinic this morning and it's not good news. The break is a bad one and I'm now looking at a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks in plaster plus a very high likelihood of surgery.. add on the physiotherapy and I might possibly be able to go for a swim by my birthday in January.

Right now I'd trade Winggys cc bill for a working wrist :-(

Serioulsy though that is a long time, you need some of that special powder used in karate kid.

I expect them to sprout any day now. Tom hasn't been around so I can't buy his extra-expensive fertilizer, but I'm sure his promise of a good crop of fresh crisp fifties is good.

Reply to WingDing

I heard they only flower bi-centenially. I hope that was just a rumour.

You know, at least I don't go for the sympathy shag.

Mainly because my missus has no sympathy for me :(

Vok, why do we have to wait until Sunday for battle to commence? It's just not right I tells ya.

Stranger, special kids should never be without their helmet.

Good morning WinDing.

The trees will sprout shortly.

Hope this helps.

I'm a rather easy guy to please so it is of little consequence what you send. Though I'd much prefer that you delivered it in person.

This has nothing to do with the fact that you are the only Gooner left that I know who hasn't received a slap yet.

The positive side for us is that if an on form, full strength, Arsenal team can't break us down with only ten men on the pitch, then we are doing just fine.

Granted, Reina ****** up at the last min. We both know that was just one of those things that happen sometimes, and nothing to do with being under pressure and unable to cope.

Now time for a quick shower and down to the ale house for a few scoops and watch a bunch of Toons twat some Mancs.

Reply to Tom_Smart

Ummmm. We weren't on form or full strength. Probably 80% I recon.

We'll see next time around. Ya'll played well given your predicament. You'll still finish below us though.

There is more chance of Wingy's money trees flowering than you finishing above us this season.
