Kimbers Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Ok...please don't laugh cause I is injured but I suppose I can see the funny side...... I had just parked up my bike and walked into the garage to put my helmet away when I trod on one of my sons water guns and it went out from under my feet. As I landed I tried to grab the door, breaking my little finger on bending it back to the knuckle (at least thats what my wife said the swelling and fact it's gone black means). As I bounced off the door I distinctly remember thinking "This is really gonna hurt now" as I landed, back first, on my sons bikes. I lay there for a minute swearing and crying in equal measure and finally picked myself up and went inside to see my personal nurse. On walking into the bedroom I dropped my trousers to see the damamge and stood on the upturned plug from the DVD player and sat heavily onto the bed, swearing again. My wife promptly popped up with "don't sit on the hair straighteners, they're on!" At which time I was just beggining to wonder who was cooking pork......and added a burnt arse to the long list of injuries: Broken pinkie, Sore spine, huge Bruise already on my thigh, bruised sole of my foot, burnt buttock and finally a very stiff elbow. So now I want some simpathy....not or or and definately not Quote Possibly save your life. Check out this website.http://everyman-campaign.org/ Distributor for 'Every Male' grooming products.

andydclements Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 And some TV presenters would either pay good money to display on prime time the video of that happening, or , pay good money for the vidoe of that to not be displayed of it hapening to them. There's no point in expecting sympathy, when one of my colleagues has a bike crash a couple of years ago (both car and bike badly damaged, but he came into work a day later), i was going to inflate balloons and display them tied in pairs, one black, one blue. Andy. At least it's all low speeed, walking stuff, just be carefull with the spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainskea Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Hilarious Mr K, I had to muffle my laugh as it is early Sun morning here and everyone is still asleep. I hope you didn't damage your bike helmet on the way down, and you get complimentary breakfast on the weekend.

USAndretti42 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Really sorry to see that you hurt yourself in such an embarrassing way. No. I couldn't do it. Thought I could type that with a straight face but I failed. Sometimes it's better to stay in bed. At least you didn't fall off your bike. That would have been embarassing.

He probably needs the safety sides in bed to stop him falling out, landing on something, breaking his nose as he hits the floor etc. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
