Great start to Christmas...
Was so looking forward to the festivities but I've gone and done myself a mischief.
Came off the push bike in the icy conditions last night and, well, fractured my right wrist in two places and put a ruddy great hole in my knee. Painkillers are working, thankfully, but I'm certainly going to miss out on a fair bit of drinking, gaming and w**king over the next 4 to 6 weeks :-)

I would have thought missing out on a fair bit of working was the whole point of Christmas! You should be happy!

"walking"?
Yeah, he's the world champion of walking-on-hands but he now has to reset his step-count and lose out on the trophy ... awwwww)
Just tea? No winegums?
It is actually much worse news: I've broken both wrists so both arms are in casts. Yesterday was awful, in so much pain and I was in despair thinking I'd be such a burden to everyone around me. Thankfully though I got a decent nights kip thanks to the bro in laws super-painkillers, the pains subsided and I feel less like a complete cripple than I did yesterday. I'm able to do basic stuff like brush my teeth, put a pair of trousers on, make a cup of tea. Things you totally take for granted.
Signed off work for 6 weeks but typical I won't be able to use a PS controller. Maybe I'll have to invest in a 360/Kinect!
is it stealing though, you just left it there.
i bet he thought it was chrstmas. :p
ive done the same though, just walked off, luckily the machine just ate it back up and i got back
once i was in a train station, i went to a machine, stuck my card in, as soon as i had a guy next to me told me the buttons weren't working, idiot, i had to wait there ages for it to spit my card back out. an impatient guy then turned up behind me and kept huffing and puffing cos i was taking so long, so i didn't tell him about the fault. lol
try and get a helper monkey like in the simpsons.
you could cellotape a wii controller to one of your arms.
anyway hope you have a good chrimbo. ;)
well it's a case of I was putting money in , and had to keep an eagle eye on such ****s around there due to bad lighting.. I complained about it tonight..
If it's the person I think it was wanna find out if the git was stupid enough to put a card in the machine next to it, if so.. he's caught. He can deny it but the timing will show it and the fact the pleb was on a bike..
I feel it's not SOLELY my fault , due to the banks not lighting it ALSO the deposit thing , chucked out 2 envelopes.. so I assumed the spare envelope was my card till later.. joke was yer he got ?100, could have been ?250.. but there was another bigger amount he couldn't touch as it was in , but not available thankfully.
I spent time messing about with them today, and when i got to the police station they were shut because of the idiots at the bank branches time wasting !!
he must have been quick as it didn't swallow the card.. but hhmm, if it was me I'd have told the person they left their card.. I guess I'm too honest.. think it's a bit different from when you find ?10 or ?20 on the ground and you dunno who'se it is.
but I reckon I know who it was, as they were hovering around.. thats what made me un-easy and I wanted to deposit / get rid of the other money i took out from my other bank.
hopefully the money will bring him bad luck , but heck I don't do gypsy curses etc.
Merry Christmas :p
My p0rn collection in anticipation of the day the casts came off increased dramatically though. As did the size of my... it was like a couple of beach balls wedged down there!
I remember this thread, and I had a similar experience last week. It was before the ice had fully taken hold and I wasn't as wary as I should have been, I did a racy lean into a corner on a quiet back road and BUMP! crashed on my side and my helmet bounced.
Was nothing like as bad as yours but it shakes the old push-iron nerves doesn't it? How long did it take you to get back on yours?
(I bet A&E were pleased to have you. You were probably the only non-alcohol related casualty there!)
Being drunk in hospital at christmas makes no difference at all.
I think i've said too much........
*gets coat*
Reminds me of something that happened to a mate of mine about 20 years back (Oh f**k, did I really just say that!?!)..
We were about 15 and 3 of us were playing bike tig around the estate we lived on.. My one mate was 'it' and he was chasing my other mate.. He was gaining on him and was right behind him ready to tig him, but he was so close he was in the other guy's blind spot and the lad in front wondered where he had gone, so he slammed on his brakes to stop and have a look around.. They were both going pretty fast and the lad behind ran straight into the lad in front's rear tire, flew off his bike sideways and landed right on his elbow, breaking about 3 of the bones around it.
It didn't look so bad at the time as he just said his arm hurt a bit (I've broken a few bones in the past, and they tend to go numb for the first little while - the pain starts when the feeling comes back..) and he got back on his bike and rode home one-handed, so we didn't think much of it.. He said he was going in and went back to his, and I nipped over to the other lad's house for about 10 minutes (who lived across the street). He said that he felt dead guilty about it and was really worried. When we came out, their car was gone..
I was taking the piss, saying "aww, he's off to the hospital!" (I was winding my mate up as I thought that he'd just banged it a bit and was fine, and his Dad had gone down the shops or something) and this lad was freaking out going "What? Really? Aw no!" Turned out that he had to be admitted and have his bones screwed back together. When we next saw him he had a full-arm cast. (So then I felt like a tw@).
He had the screws out about 5 years later and the heads snapped off two of them, so they're still in his arm. He says that he can really feel them on a cold day as the metal from the screws transfers the cold around his bones.
I think my shoulder is starting to develop athritis, i get painful twinges in it from time to time, especially in the winter.
Darn it, as I was reading I was trying to figure out a good 'self abuse' joke, and you beat us all to it!
Hope you mend soon.
EDIT: OOPS! Must remember to read the date stamps in future. I for one don't remember this thread. Please be more careful this winter.
Is that a suggestion as to who to get in whilst he can't have a Tommy Tank?
..no wait, don't.
