Pain & Pain Relief

Pain

Finally, a crash resulting in visible injury! I bounced over the front of a car on the way to work this morning.

As I closed in, the driver veered left (I assumed to park) so I had to veer right to go around him. Mistake! He went left so he could do a rolling U-turn! Sh1t, and now I was on his right as he hooked around.. I went with him.. tighter.. tighter.. tighter.. out of room.. bang.. over the bonnet and into the road. I know I wanted to scuff up my new shoes a bit but not quite like this!

He was cool and checked me out, offered details, etc. I was in a hurry and self-assessed goodness. Quickly carried on to work. Bit sore now though.

Pain Relief

That night I finally tried this hideous creation. Shaun and Mad Matt are so infamous at the T-bar that the product of one of their sessions made it to the drinks menu!

Behold “What did I do last night?” Actually, I wasn’t that bad because at 4am, the Raleigh and I rolled back home obviously proving that it is safer to ride across London drunk than sober..

  1. OOOOWWWW!! And how is the bike?? Some dettol will sort out that bloodied knee.

    Absolut Pepper – I gotta try me some of that! Cool! that’s gotta be a virus killer.

  2. Bike’s fine. It’s a track bike – they’re meant to be crashed 🙂

    By all means try the Absolut but whatever you do, don’t make this drink. It’s worse than crossing the streams in Ghostbusters!

  3. I think I’ll wait til I get the Tesch insured before crashing it ;-P

    That drink looks feral. I can imagine what happens when you put a spoon or stick etc into it…. instant dissolvement (word??)accompanied by lots of smoke billowing out of the glass and hissing and spitting, boiling fury etc..

  4. fksticks! ouchies!

    For pain relied The Bloke has brewed up a fearsome triple stout. It’s practically medicinal grade, but unfortunately it’s still here in Beer Can Hill. We could try to get it in through AQIS but you’ll probably be feeling better by the time a bottle or three finally arrives!

  5. Yes, the bar has special tools to work with that drink. Normal implements are simply vapourised.

    Triple stout? Like a Belgian Triple Brun?

    Wowzers! I’m almost all healed up now. Thanks for the cyber-brew 🙂

  6. Slightly OT (or should that be OP in reference to this discussion?), but is there any chance of your good self filing a ride report of the London Freewheel extravaganza this coming Sunday?

  7. I could probably write something although I don’t do much of that these days. What did you have in mind? Anything I file will be from a jaded, elitist, fixed ridin’ commuter-dodgin’ girlfriend-protecting beer swiller..
