I went on to 4chan recently. How come it's so popular? Looked shite. Some quite funny memes amongst all the porn and weird geek-speak though.

^ Most expensive sheet of A4 ever ;-)

Anyone who still wants one of Will's posters, bring a cardboard tube or something to carry it home in, I will be picking a few up.

Evans Cycles in Wandsworth - the mechanic fitted my troublesome crown race and all he asked for was a can of strongbow (at an undetermined later date). Cheers fella!

Please. Oh pretty please could you pick mine up.

Since you ask soooo nicely...

and those wipes are fucking landfill bollocks, worse than jam rags.

Wipes are landfill - as opposed to all the other shit we all stick in our bins, which biodegrades gently over time?

But jam rags, that's a new one for me non-PC lol

My fellow Westicles:

I will be picking up a lfgss photo poster from Will one evening this week, probably tomorrow or Thurs evening. If anyone wants me to pick theirs up at the same time let me know, I can deliver it at Wests this week (you can paypal Will the money, I believe).

Poor old Barredo

Blimey, thought Lance and his terrible socks were going to do it there...

^ That area was a mystery to me...all those people doing things in 'labs'. Weirdos.

The worst cover version, ever, no contest, is a version of 'Walk on the Wild Side' by Holly and Little Joe, i.e., two of the characters in it. It's like a cowboy version of it with German-accented shouting of the lyrics and several awful mistakes. I have it on a CD but it's not on YouTube.

Does not surprise me ;-)

Do you mean the *actual *characters Lou Reed was referring to teamed up for a cover version?

I cannot remember why I watched it, but I saw a youtube-type video of Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson covering 'Valerie' live. Not only did the beehive-headed crack-fiend look like a waddling, pot-bellied yet anorexic old man in badly-applied drag, she sounded utterly, utterly awful; totally out of key and no doubt out of her jar. And that Ronson fella just ponced around a bit flicking his permed hipster-combover around and pretending to play guitar. It's my own fault for watching it but I'd still like those two minutes of my life back.

How do these people achieve success and fortune, I ask you? Anyway, that's my nomination for worst cover.

@ timwilkey-
Oxford?

Looks like St John St / Beaumont St area innit.

^ Good call.

PM'd re Madisons

Buddha, what was your break like?

Like this...

Break at the distal end so notoriously slow healing due to poor blood flow. It's basically healed like this, with a bumpy bit of bone sticking up.

The doc yesterday essentially told me I'd been fobbed off, and that it would've had to have been very best-case scenario for it to have been better in time for my trip at the beginning of August. He was a total ballbag who seemed to think it was my fault... "well, if you will go cycling in London...". Twat.

Later on last night I was chatting to Digger at LMNH, who said that in Europe they put such injuries in cast or pin them back together from the off. He and his Polish pal (who's broken both before) agreed that we're hopeless at dealing with collarbone injuries in this country. It's basically a case of 'wait-and-see'.

Furthermore, the doc said that if I fell on it with any force at all it would pop open, possibly through my skin. For the record, the fracture doctor and the specialist both assured me that it would never re-break it such circumstances but instead bent or splinter a bit (he compared it to a wet stick). Basically no one really knows what it'll do and no one is taking it seriously because it's not a spine or a tumour or whatever. Absolute cunts.

That totally concurs with what I've been told / have discovered. Basically anywhere other than the UK they cut you open within a few days, plate you up and you're good to go in a month. To some extent the 'wait and see' approach is valid as, for example, in my case, healing was relatively swift for the type of break and I'd rather not be sliceed open. But what it creates is massive uncertainty for most patients (myself included).

And unless you see a sympathetic specialist most doctors couldn't care less about a mere collar bone break. I feel for you dude.

I also hate the number of people who take this as clear evidence that cycling in London is a stupid thing to do. Cock off the lot of you!

^ Somebody got a total bargain

Went back for my one month check-up this avo, expecting to be told that it's nearly there, and was told that it's made very little progress and that if it's not looking better in another month they'll operate. The x-ray was a joke... the bone is just floating around. I'm feeling pretty miffed (furious) about the advice I've received up until today, which was entirely at odds with what the bloke today said. Another month with this cunting sling hanging round my neck just to be told I need an op? Let me.

...So the (touring) holiday I've been looking forward to for 18 months goes up in smoke.

Fuck, shit, cunt.

Very sorry to hear this. If you are cool with getting an operation it may be worth requesting one asap (presumably on private healthcare), as at least then you will know exactly what your recovery time will be. If the bone is still floating around after 4 weeks it may not be able to bind at all.

Buddha Fingaz + peroxide =

Ozymandias! Awesome. I lol'd.

They even both talk in the same manner.

I didn't lol so much.

buddha fingaz and brave always look similar to me....

Who is this Brave fellow? Handsome dog, I expect.

Broken Collar bone cycling ftw

Happy Birthday!

^ Damn that is nice. Would match my G-Shock too ;-)

Condor were doing a sale on Sidi Terras (I think)...quite white and summery looking but MTB shoes nonetheless, and reduced from c. £150 to £60.

^ Read the OP you bell!
