Guest The Outlaw Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I keep breaking my 5th metacarple on my right hand. Its a real pain but I dont bother with the plaster I just get on with it now. As long as i squash it into the right shape it neends pretty quickly, the same with my toes tread on them and they mend ok 5-0 to the cockney boys so far come on you Irons Derby will have some sobs tonight - Tony the "appy ammer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death from below Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I'm not as hard as you Tony......first time in my 37 years that I have broken anything(except a few hearts - not)....went to Basildon Hospital a man and came out a snivelling wimpering child(legs nearly hit the ceiling when the nurse yanked my finger back into place.....took about 10 litres of gas 'n' air in a couple of seconds. But on a brighter note my beloved TOON at least didn't lose to the red and white scum today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Outlaw Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I am anything like hard, just dont see the point of sitting in casualty for 4 hours for something I can sort with a bit of DIY, I've done it so many times I know the ropes now. Still got 15 to go and its 0-5 Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Why do you need to stop shooting? I shot one-handed when I had a cast on for most of my local sporting league season last year, and managed an average of 73% at the end I should have stopped, but just got too bored not shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Outlaw Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 He is doing well for us at last, seems we have most of the "Toons" old squad now shame most of them are injured. What do you think of "Big Sam" Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has some muppets he needs to get rid of but there is no reason why we can't be chalenging for a uefa spot....apart from the big three( I don't recognise Liverpool as a threat to the prem title) the rest of the prem is pretty much a much of a much....win one week ....lose the next....draw the next.....which does make if very excititng if not also very frustrating.....

loopy bunny blaster Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 just dont see the point of sitting in casualty for 4 hours for something I can sort with a bit of DIY. Tony haha i know what you mean, when i break fingers (often doing boxing/basketball) just snap it back straight and tape it to the one next to it same principle with broken nose's just pull it straight again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Outlaw Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Over the years I have broken at least one of each of my bones except pelvis,and vertibrae,had a subdural haematoma drained as well. 1 bad bike smash and scrapping and banger racing count for most of them. The rest of the bits and bobs not working are down to a hard working life Oh Woe are We. Had fun doing it all though in a funny sort of way Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibby Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I was in your position at the start of september, a car hit me and my steering wheel span causing a spiral brake of my middle finger. One op, 3 screws, and 10 weeks of no shooting what so ever, a real pain in the ***. Just glad it wasn't my trigger finger. Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Outlaw Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 That looks like a good collectable sar on its way, one mate. If you pick at the scab it will scar better Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lee Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I've had a **** 2 years for broken bones. All from racing enduro bikes. Damaged my ACL in my right knee and had that operated on. Got off the crutches, back on bike a few weeks after and the throttle stuck wide open on a corner throwing me into a tree. Broke my collar bone, split my shoulder, fractured my left elbow, right wrist in 2 places and a compound dislocation of my right thumb. Off work, bikes and shooting for 7 months. Got fixed up and racing for a 3rd place finish and snapped my rear brake lever, throwing me into another rider and tree (damned trees! ) and broke L5 in my back. Was off work ages then with that. Only recently got back to full health. Bikes all now sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
