    Read this on my phone so doesn't say who the op is.. saw the title and immediately assumed it was @Legionreturns :)

    Gws!
    I'm not currently allowed to have any fun...err...I mean do any of my dangerous hobbies. 

    I doubt watching Narcos and Better Call Saul is going to break anything else  :'( 
    I've broken my arms a few times, the most exciting time was when I tripped over my shoe lace... 
    Netflix can get pretty exciting, better make sure your all laced up before you move ;)

    Question is, did you get a ticket?
    No, and to be fair the warden even asked if I was OK! I suspect I must have looked quite spectacular, or at least hilarious...

    Damn, that's a real downer, get better quick. If you fancy trying it on, tell the council that the Traffic Warden was the cause of the accident and that you are suing them :)

    It could be a good time to start writing a book? All that knowledge and experience put to paper.......

    Mend well.

    No, not without my left arm. Manual gearbox on both our cars.

    Having reached the age of 51 without ever having broken a major bone - not counting three ribs when I was a teenager - my luck ran out today. Literally.

    Stupid, but that's how accidents happen - this morning after dropping off this week's repairs I ran out of the shop and back to my car to move it before a traffic warden finished writing a ticket, and somehow my feet got tangled up and I found myself flying through the air like Superman... or Buzz Lightyear without the style. I landed hard on my left wrist and I now have a nasty dislocation and fracture at the elbow - luckily not the wrist, but I still won't be working or playing guitar or bass for a while :(.

    Many thanks to the staff at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary for patching me up :).

    Of course the really bad news is that I will now have even more time to plague you all while it slowly gets better ;). 4-6 weeks probably. Bah...

    But at least I didn't get a parking ticket!


    Ouch .. you have my sympathies. Get better soon. Rant on the forum to make yourself feel better ..

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    Ouch! Take your time with the recovery, it'll pay off in the long run. 

    At least you're still at the "he fell over" age, not the "he's had one of his falls" age.

    That's loser talk. 

    Put it in 2nd. Ride the clutch to pull away, and enjoy the roar/scream of the engine at the redline most of the rest of the time.

    That'll be God punishing you for PMing me those photos.
    Yes, it is impressive if you're into that sort of thing, but I'm not and I'm still not sending you any photos of mine.
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

  • Sh1t man!. Sorry about that. Hope they fix you with the WD40, the gaffer tape, and the vice-grip real soon.
