Yeah, some times I vary it with a couple of Bee's. The punchline being "Who the **** is BoB?"That's so bloody old that joke! Think I heard that as a young kid

Hopelessness, I'm afraid. Or, bad luck.
I swear I have fell off more times in the past three months, than from my various BMXs, ever!
Latest was a fall onto outstretched right hand, leading me to consider having broken it.
Either bad luck, or lack of concentration after 20 miles and being unable unclip SPD in time
X-rayed after two weeks' of aching, luckily not broken.
May need a scan if it doesn't improve though, as I may have damaged something unpronounceable......
Gutted actually, as I have just got some LED lights, so I was hoping to do some night-riding over the tracks.
Most usual bone to break in the wrist when you land on your hand is called the scaphoid. Only a small moon shaped thing below the base of your thumb but hurts like crazy. Only treatment is either a firm bandage or a wrist cast. Can take 6-8 weeks to heal sufficiently to begin using it so long as you rest until then.
EDIT: It can be very difficult to pick up on an x-ray unless they are looking for it so it may have been missed.

Doctor said it was soft tissue damage, at base of little finger bone to wrist area.
I don't want to do the scaphoid; it has poor blood flow, doesn't heal well, and I've known people have to have it wired back togethe , as it wouldn't knit itself

Went to Crawley, people have been putting loads of lights up outside their houses, all red for some reason.
I had that about 20 years ago when I did a running punch to one of those 'test your strength' punchball machines and didn’t use the glove. It didn’t half hurt - and I had to drive home too. Had a cast on for a couple of months.

Yes, poor blood flow and can take much longer. Did my right one nearly 30 years ago after tripping over an electric motor in work. Took 12 weeks because I couldn't sit with it and do nothing. Learnt my lesson, about 5 years ago when I did my left one after slipping on a dusty floor in work I did rest it as instructed, (my wife should have been a matron on a hospital ward). Still took 9 weeks and was only allowed light duties for a month.

Did she see anything she likes? And yeah, London prices are just insane now.
Can she afford Horsham? Very close but a bit nicer?

Wasn't keen on Horsham, Crawley is a bit hit and miss, been advised to avoid Broadfield, but she's found a place in Ifield, just her buying it so needs a good deposit. "Daaaaad"
