You'll need a long-haired white cat to stroke to complete your new look. I'm pleased that you're OK and still smiling. How did your 'other half' take it? I'd be facing some serious questions from wife and family if that was me, the type that go "do you think you should still be doing this?". Especially from my old mum, who is 90, and thinks that at 55 I'm too old to be on a bike

I'd be facing some serious questions from wife and family if that was me, the type that go "do you think you should still be doing this?". Especially from my old mum, who is 90, and thinks that at 55 I'm too old to be on a bike My other half took it worse than me. When I was taken to hospital by the paramedic they took me to a cubical. Here they told me that as I had mentioned my back was sore they had to immobilise me. I the 5ft tall nurse explained that they were going to put me in a neck brace then put me on a bed and with them orange foam pads either side of me, then would gaffa tape me to the bed frame. The words 'you and who's army' came to mind but this midget had a vicious Monday morning look in her eye and with an exposed gaping wound I realised the dwarf didn't need an army and submitted. A point to all a&e visitors in the future, don't mention the back pain!! After they finished making me look like I needed an air lift they took me to a ward called 'majors'. It was at this point when my misses turned up at reception, she was pointed to the 'majors' ward and she walked in saw me lying there with about 4 members of the nhs's finest around me and quickly walked out shaking like a leaf being blown in hurricane Bertha before being coaxed back in by one of the nurses. After my treatment my good lady drove us home from the hospital and she was so shaken up that we took the extended tour route dye to her being so dazed and she almost maimed another cyclist in our journey! She's normally a good driver but we went out in the afternoon and I thought that we'd be safer if my morphine dazed body took control of the driving rather than risk another visit to a&e. I've not had any 'give it up' advice yet. But I'm fully expecting it to come in the next week or so. At the moment I can't ride as I can't get the wound wet or sweaty so she has time to construct her argument. It will fall on deaf ears though B-)

You can tell people it's a duelling scar and you come from a long line of German aristocracy.
