Tea? (Part 1)

[Renard]

I've just put some new brake pads on, and a cab was reversing out of a sideroad, and I braked too quickly and went over the bars. Now got a dead leg and lung, and I was wearing clips so the bike fell on top of me twisting up my ankle in the process. Ouch.

...just tea?

Hey what happened to the bit about not wanting any sympathy?

I changed my mind. I am in dull pain but it's getting better.

 

[Speicher]

It does not sound like Abitrary is capable of getting his own tea and biskits or sticky buns. Sounds like he needs looking after.

Bad luck Abitrary! Have a nice big cuppa and a bikkie!

This is why I prefer the under seat steering on my trike as there are no handle bars to go over.

Glad to hear the ol' spine is getting better Speicher, feeling a bit more hopeful of touring in June?

 

[Renard]

Renard, you have my sympathies, in moments of abject poverty tdr1nka towers has resorted to *gasp* reusing tea bags in order to keep up our image. Reusing teabags is nowhere near as ghastly as smoking 'butt rollies' built from the contents of an ashtray.

I am now again solvent in matters of tea, however it is some Hoegaarden and Kronenbourg Blanc tonight (thank goodness for public holidays).

As for the roll ups... yuk Reminds me of the days when I used to smoke and 'nip' a fag half way through to be smoked the next morning. Absolutely disgusting albeit a buzz!!

Touring was never planned anyway. Even before this all happened I was a beginner in cycling

How do you know if you've got a punctured lung? I think I just heard a gurgle?

It's the same as checking your inner tubes in a bucket. Go and get in the bath and look for bubbles.

I'd probably have another accident doing that. The left of my body from ankle up is dead.

Wasn't wearing a helmet and my head seems to be alright though

Pneumothorax is a very long word it just put the punk into punctured lung.

Actually I have had the experience although I only started gurgling after the blood was cleared from my airways (not that I knew much about it at the time).

 

[Abitrary]

aargh, the shock's wearing off now and I feel like I've got an embolism in my thigh

Ooooh. Well you had me fooled!
D'ya recon you'll be ack in the saddle for summer tho?

BTW had a 'wonderful' conversation with my Mum yesterday, on hearing that her eldest Grand Daughter has dropped out of collage Mum launched into a diatribe about how I've not been the best role model etc.
If she'd thought before she said this she would have realised just how unfair her opinion was.
I responded with this and my best insolent teenager look as it always winds her up!

Tea anyone?

Get a cool pack on it and do you have any 'arnica'?

 

[Renard]

Not for me but there's a stack of beer in the fridge if anyone wants one?
