Mark Cavendish injured at Ghent Six Day yesterday

[Cathryn]

I was very skilled at leg breaking. Better than at the actual skiing alas

Ooh they did that to me when I was skiing!!! Not going to watch the video...

I got mine after a fall, the bone didn't heal with the first one so they removed that and fitted a bigger diameter one, there might have been an infection involved though as they gave me a couple of massive injections of antibiotics almost like the cartoon sized syringe. I dunno cos they never told me anything, just approached me with this thing that looked like a garden sprayer with a needle on the end,,,,, twice.

I had similar after my op and was told it was cellulitis.

My foot ballooned to the size of a rugby ball.

I was in that bed for 6 weeks having those injection, plus made to swallow tables the size of AA batteries

Ah yes, that's the one I referred too upthread and was going to look up and refer back.... but I forgot

I fear he will never be the Cavendish of years gone by.

The years take their toll on all of us.

That was handy... An ugly, unshortened link, leading to an inaccessible story!

That was handy... An ugly, unshortened link, leading to an inaccessible story!

IMO Unshortened links are better because they at least display the linked domain (although that's easy to fake)

But I do think posted links should be accompanied by a brief description of what's at the other end - just out of politeness to enable the reader to decide whether or not they are interested enough to click. But I'm not obsessive about that*. Just an opinion.

* I am obsessive about it, but I try to pretend not to be.

That one told me that I need to sign up to read whatever it is. Nope, I don't do that.

I do have an account, and I do have the app. I never look at it mind these days, I just signed up out of curiosity. Anyway, I went on to my phone, clicked on the link, it opened the app and gave me a "Story Unavailable" error. So you aren't missing anything.

Scumbags!

Let's that they all get caught AND don't get 12 month suspended sentences!
