The most interesting injury


a near perfect imprint of my watch on my wrist! Seriously though, i'm very lucky as it could have been a lot worse especailly if i hadn't worn my helmet as i landed head and face first.

Thanks for all the messages etc ... will reply when i get a chance but it turns out i'm highly non ambidextrous so it'll take some time. Paddy

    gave me the special power to spend 10 minutes turning my socks from inside out to right way wiht one hand.

    not sure if thats an advantage though

    you need to be more like Gar Paddy, he gets knocked-off his bike then brings a few lads up 3 rock in the worst weather we've seen this year - he's some lad.

    talking of whom - Gar -that feckin post of mine disappeared from your site again - dunno what's going on, must be over max limit of characters or something - I'll e-mail ya instead.
