    Jon Sopel, BBC news anchor, binned his scooter on wet leaves. Adamant he
    was not seriously injured, he got back on. Then decided it was a bit hurty
    so diverted to A&E rather than Westminster for that speech. He'd broken his
    hip. Silly, clumsy ****.

    That's what going to a single sex school does for you.

    Fucking wuss.
    He should have gone on to finish his working day, take a night out on the
    beer *then* go and ask for a medical opinion.

  5. That's pretty much what I did when I broke *both* wrists (at the same time).

    Charterhouse was (and is) co-ed, actually.... Eton and Harrow are the
    last bastions of traditional public school homosexuality, I think.

    Rubbish. There's loads. Claire Balding's alma mater, Downe House. Roedean
    is similar and Winchester College is the oldest bastion of buggery.

    Good call. I forgotten about the girlies.
    I thought Winchester had girls these days?

    Evidently not.

    I can't decide if that is one of the biggest whooshes in history, or a
    meta whoosh.

    when I broke my collarbone I walked 4 miles home, had a few more
    drinks, then when feeling a bit iffy in the morning, drove myself from
    Bangor to Newtownards (where the nearest A&E was), having to change
    gear with my right hand, as my left hand side upper body was pretty
    much non-functioning.

    And then I got annoyed when the doctor forbade me to drive home again.

  19. Mine told me that I couldn't ride (I was #TWO) until the casts came
    off. I took the word "couldn't" as a challenge and successfully proved
    that indeed I could.

    that sort of thing has to be done.

    The silliest thing about my broken collarbone was they put me in a
    sort of big sling thing, and I went on holiday two weeks later (to
    Kavos on Corfu...go figure the situation), and I fell out of bed
    shagging a bird and re-broke the thing - it would have been painful
    had I not been pissed.
