[Gumble Frankieton]

But Mick Nolan and John Byrne …

Tarrawingee and North Wangaratta respectively.

I will give you Darren Steele as a solid contribution from Wangaratta. Paul Bryce can carry his bag

 

[Psicosis]

At least he can still run for the next 12 weeks.

Know it well - I almost lost my front teeth on the Tarzan rope!

There’s always that moment, just after everyone has gasped at the ungainly impact - where the onlookers wait to see how you’ll react - like contestants on master chef waiting for a cravated twat to pass judgement.

You try not to show any pain. Na - I’m fine. Didn’t hurt a bit. Sweet as mate. I’ll go again!

As you slink off like an injured dog to seek sympathy for your own misdoings at home.

 

[The Nostradamus]

doubt he's doing much running in the first few weeks

probably keep it fairly stable and not move too much initially before slowly ramping up running

Thanks Kayne

"Retired Battler" .....not exactly cryptic!

 

[The Dingrel]

I mean.... box jumps have nothing to do with landing on your elbow.

Seems pretty clear cut that he didn't make the jump or over balanced and ended up coming down on his arm.

Not something you can train to strengthen, it's a major injury in combat sports and stuff like pro wrestling, skating etc, because your instinct is to put your arm out/back to break your fall, when in reality you should be hitting the ground with a flat limb to spread the impact.



As to the injury. Club's cursed, burn it down and start over.

Well as far as freak accidents go, I managed to dislocate my shoulder while sleeping ending up in a reco.

True story!

hehehe,,,,,might have involved a lot of alcohol, sleeping in the top bunk of a live aboard dive boat in SE Asia, who's captain decided it was a good idea to lift anchor at 4am and get to the next destination in pretty choppy seas!.......context....nah not that impressive! But one positive of that night is I invented a new cocktail....the "GinSing"......when you run out of Tonic and decide to mix Bombay Saphire with Singha beer.

I managed to do about $20k worth of damage to my car while sleeping.

Not my finest moment.

True story!

I had the director of a building company working on a fitout for a tenant in a building I managed a few years back. Probably late 50’s early 60’s bloke, nice fella, salt of the earth. Came in one Monday morning for a meeting and looked in some discomfort. I naturally asked him what was wrong and he explained that he’d thrown a birthday party for his 4 year old granddaughter on the weekend. They’d invited all her friends and it was “fairy” themed. Turns out that an overabundance of glitter had caused him to have a sneezing fit and he’d managed to crack 2 ribs in the mayhem.

Could not stop laughing. Poor bastard, but what a great story.

The machine is coming together. Two or 3 more parts and a bit of luck and boy oh boy.

I tore a calf muscle playing pool. I was 24.

 

[Frank Thring]

I tore my calf walking out of a bank. Not one campaigner came to help

Maybe the thought you were a decoy for some type of heist!

Then, in the confusion, you just straitened your leg and walked away.

Yeh but it was a spank bank. They all had their own issues.

Funny thing was that I had a bucks night that night and was carried around town by the guys. Went to Sante Fe strip club and a stripper brought me ice pack and put it on my knob Smart arse.

Tough situation to offer a hand.

He’s trade collateral.
