    Well if you really want all the gory details ....


    .... you can have them!

    Crashed in a cycle race in Newry back in March. Broke one wrist, the other elbow. Couple of breaks in the sinus area, one in the eye socket, and 2 just in front of the temple. Then there were a couple of minor breaks in spine - one in the neck and the other just a bit further down, together with 4 fractured teeth.

    Was iunconscious at the scene for around 30 minutes and they stuggled to get me breathing for a while. The Heart rate monitor data is quite scary with a few "breaks" in the "action". Foirtunately I was being cared for by a medic just back from Helmand province with the British forces - he knew how to deal with a trauma situation!

    Now I'm well on the road to recovery and grease doesn't really bother me unless I'm cycling over it....

    You were obviously struck by a vehicle of some sort?

    No - based on injuries and others involved in the pile up it looks like I slammed on the brakes to avoid others (have pretty much lost memory from a few minutes before until a week after the accident), hit something and flew over the handlebars with the arms literally breaking my fall before the head hit the deck. Without those arms breaking I'm pretty sure I would not be here now to tell the tale. Went from 50 kph to 0 in less than 3 seconds based on GPS data - it would be the equivalent of someone much lighter (maybe 60kg or so) hitting the deck at 75 kph with that momentum ...

    For anyone that's wodering, yes I'e started issuing cards over the continued ignoring of my in-thread warnings about World Cup talk. Sanctions will start to escalate particularly where posters come into the forum to discuss soccer and very little that has much to do with Horse Racing

    Off-topic thread. Why have one at all?

    We use the other part of the forum to talk about Horse Racing, why would we use the off topic thread for it as well? Surely the point of an off topic thread is to talk about anything we want other than Horse Racing. :confused:

    I wonder if I start chatting about croquet, would I also receive a warning?

    I am not going to repeat all my warnings over the past couple of days - just go back and re-read them as it's all explained there. This will not become an unofficiual soccer thread for the next month and if many more want to make it so I will carry out my threat to ban all soccer talk and if necessary the thread will be closed for a minimum of the duration of the World Cup

    3 posters are now serving lengthy bans. More will follow if posters believe they can simply ignore mod warnings

    Horse racing is cruel and in a fair and just society should be abolished imo.
