I.Mupferit Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 No not forgotten I have a big RED starter button but twisted my bl**ding ankle and it don't 'arf 'urt. Was down in Trowbridge yesterday on part of my annual round of delivering Crimble cheer to clients. 'Twas a lovely bright crisp morn with a thick frost on the ground, I got out of the car stepped on a cobble and my foot promptly slipped and turned through 90 degrees in a direction it ain't meant to turn. Ohhh the pain , the agony of it ☹️ I had to sit in the car for 20 minutes to compose myself before hopping in to see the client whilst carrying 6 bottles going clank, clank, clank as I hopped and my left shoe only half on 'cos it wouldn't fit anymore. Ankle now resembles an Aubergine coloured water melon so can I please be excused last day of school to go home and rest an ice pack on said ankle 🤔 Praise be to automatic transmissions ❗ Brent Zetec 209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 ☹️ ☹️ Sounds horribly painful. I recommend going home, putting an ice packon your ankle and drinking some whisky (or similar) to help you forget about the pain... Hope it mends soon.

Hibster. Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I recommend Nurofen & vodka & orange, well it worked for me 😬 Trust me, I'm a Doctor 😳 Go behind the screen and take off all your clothes, then go and wait to be called from the waiting room Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Brother Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Now a photo of that would make an excellentt cover for Low Flying ❗ Hope it gets better by Christmas - either that or you will have to sit in a chair and be waited on (hand and foot ) Just make sure the chair is in easy reach of the drinks cabinet and all will be well 😬 Steve Se7en-Up!

I.Mupferit Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 It's ok Steve, I've got an intravenous alcohol drip rigged up alongside my favourite chair by the fire. Tricia thinks I've done it on purpose just so I can be waited on. Brent Zetec 209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FH Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I'd be inclined to agree with Tricia ... it's all part of a plan to get out of hanging up decorations,getting the big lumps of coal in, carying all the heavy bags from the final shopping spree, standing at the sink doing man's work peeling all the veggies... Have you rigged up the tubes from the drinks cabinet yet 🤔 Don't forget the Arnica - it really does help FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Myles, If I could do one of those clever link things, I would be able to show you who he is but suffice to say he did something similar whilst running out to the garage to fetch a bottle of wine. He is a notorious member of the N.Hants & Berks gatherings. Brent Zetec 209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 FH, have you been talking to Tricia 🤔 'Tis true I am expected to stand at the sink tonight peeling the veg as we are having a Chrissy gathering of friends but alas I shall have to let somebody else do it 😬 Nice hug BTW Brent Zetec 209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FH Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 1. Possibly 2. There's a name for people like you 😳 3. You're welcome 😬 FH Edited by - FH on 19 Dec 2003 13:30:57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 The grim reality is that I shall still be expected to do it albeit whilst sitting at the kitchen table with a bowl of water and surrounded by veg. ☹️ But, of course, I won't mind as my alcohol drip stand will be alongside me at all times giving me encouragement and soothing the excruciating pain I shall be feeling. As I said to Tricia, last night, you women don't know how lucky you are when the worst you have to put up with is a bit of childbirth. That can only make your eyes water a bit compared to the pain I am suffering, quite manfully, at the moment. 😬 Pah she doesn't know what true pain is, at least not that which I am bearing ..............in silence of course ❗ I just don't like to make a fuss about this excrutiatingly awful pain but will simply soldier on as we men do OHHH, ohhh, aaaarrrggghhh...........sorry about that, just another violent twinge from the ankle, but I won't talk about it. BTW what is that name for people like me 🤔 Brent Zetec 209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Well, Merry Xmas Brent ☹️ I did my ankle a couple of years ago while reading the paper and it took a l o o o n g time before it stopped a hurting and even longer before I could walk any distance. Big hug Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Errr, thanks for the manly hug Tony...........shouldn't we start talking about rugby at times like this 🤔 Erm, just one question though.........how did you do your ankle in reading the paper, were you swinging from the chandelier, or something, at the time 🤔 😬 And a very merry Xmas to your good self as well.

FH Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 BTW what is that name for people like me? Brent? Malingerer? Swinger of lead? Skiver? Ahh, the list is endless Oh, BTW, remember to roll your sleeves up if you're sitting down to peel veg...otherwise the water drips all up your arm and you'll be whinging about that too FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Whinge...moi 🤔 😬 Thank you for that top kitchen tip FH. I shall need the sleeve rolled up anyhow so as not to interfere with the drip. Unless, of course, I faint from pain just as I am about to sit at the table in which case I can get out of the hideous task and attract much needed sympathy. Sounds like a plan to me 😬 Brent Zetec 209 Edited by - BRENT CHISWICK on 19 Dec 2003 14:43:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Brent - stop moaning and get on with peeling that turnip sorry - couldn't resist a bit of virtual nagging Hope the ankle is better soon Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibster. Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 My thingie is shaped like a turnip or am I thinking of Baldrick, yes that's right my thingie is shaped like Baldrick (this is odd in itself given that one of my late cats was called Baldrick) Now get back to work and don't peel too deeply as all the goodness will be lost if you do Paul Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
