I missed the news - what were you doing with your finger to get a splint on it?
 
wait...I'm not sure I want to know!

Hi Beagle.....
 
Crashing a motorbike, which is a bit like Sonar crashing only........
 
1. More painful
2. More expensive
3. X1's fault
 
 
My finger was the least of my worries, I knocked myself out for 20 minutes, broke 3 ribs, ended up in a hospital for a while, and worst of all wrote my track bike off (track bike = no insurance). The finger has taken SIX weeks in a splint to fix though, very frustrating.
 
Rest of me is now normal, or as normal as I ever was.

So you're back in 6/8 time?
(note: I cannae be arsed to get the link AGAIN!!!!)
 

Considering what happened, I'm really glad to see you're doing well andrecovering.
 
 
Don't let ANYONE say you're untalented!!!

OMG, Don't tell Strummy, but in my defence sir the older boys made me do it......er.....I typed the other f but my (still in splint) finger missed the key.....it's not my fault honest. I'll retype it a hundred times later when the splint is of(f)......

 
 Whoa..... hold it right there young feller me lad. Stop running in the quad and come here immediately.
 
My Straummy-sense is tingling....
 
Tingling all over as it happens.
 
And no, not you astbikerboy. You go about your business and prepare yourself for this afternoon's pro-celebrity quail egg poaching semi-final against St. Avid's House. As Captain, I'm expecting a great performance from you and the team.
 
Bapsi has been cramming in his dorm all night... at least I think that's what those strange noises were coming from his bunk that I heard when I was doing my rounds last night. He must have made a few messy mistakes during his revision though, as I distinctly saw him stuffing his bed sheets into one of the washing machines in the Upper Fifth laundry this morning. Lord knows how many eggs he broke, but I'd imagine it was quite a lot, seeing as how he smelt of shame and used nearly a whole box of Persil.
 
Good news too as Jonbouy has returned to the Lower Fourth this term and will be playing right behind you at silly-mid-square-backward-point-cover. His poaching has come along quite nicely since the embarrassing 'Humpty-Dumpty' calamity of last year's ostrich-egg-tickling all-comers bully off against those odious plebs from Steinberg Comprehensive.
 
There is some bad news however - although the beak has finally seen sense and dropped head-boy John from the 1st team for overt (and dare I say, totally unprofessional) sycophancy at last week's soufflé-felching Hendershott's Cup fixture against those dreadful oiks from Reaper's Academy for the Criminally Deranged, he had promoted that odious little hall monitor, teacher's pet and general all-round bad egg Daveny5 to represent us at scrum-wing-flanker. We can only hope that his annoying habit of continually cracking jokes, and his general laugh-a-minute and slapstick approach to everything he does is kept in check for at least the first two chukkas.
 
Matron has promised to be on hand with a pre-prepared garlic poultice should any of the lads falter at any stage, although if McQ puts either of his feet into his mouth at any stage, I've asked her to immediately call Doctor John T, who will be on hand to surgically remove it.
 
I will be refereeing today's game, and of course, as suitable reparations have been made to my favourite er.... charity (The St Lucia Private Home and Massage Complex for Retired Referees), the result is already in no doubt. If you want to make a shilling or two on the side, I'd strongly advise taking the ante-post odds of 25/1 currently being offered by Mr Danzi, the new Latin Master, on a final score of 7 yolks to 3 when the final whistle blows.
 
Now, I'll deal with you CraigB, if that is your real name.
 
Here at St Cakes, we do not go in for such underhand and unsportsmanlike behaviour such as grassing up other pupils - you've been here long enough to know that. And especially not if the subject of your revelations happens to be our current House Captain. I'm certain that he's learned his lesson after crashing his tandem at last month's inter-school sparrow-scrambling trials. I gave him plenty of time to think about his reckless behaviour during his daily litter-picking and detention punishments, so I think we must now let the matter rest.
 
As for your behaviour, I will be setting you extra prep for the coming month, and I fully expect your attitude to improve over the coming weeks or I'll be forced to put you on report.
 
 

 
Thanks for the laugh Strummy. I have been sort of lurking but can't be arsed to fight with the dodgy over-sized finger and type replies.
 
Splint is now off but the finger feels strange to say the least. Nurse said it should take two weeks, I said I suspected it might happen quicker than that, but  I'm not sure we were talking about the same thing.

Thanks but trust me there is a lot of untalent required to crash a bike at such a slow speed and still do as much damage as I managed.

Welcome back Karl. Glad you're on the mend!
