Ankylosaur

[dreamer_easy]

As some of you know, I put my foot in it yesterday - specifically, a hole in the ground, and sprained my dodgy right ankle yet again. It made a horrendous snapping noise, like the sound you hear when you wrench off a roast chicken's leg - mercifully, x-rays show all bones intact, and the doctor explained that the snap is the sound of a ligament going boinggg. Anyway, thanks to Jon and my Dad coming to the rescue and much kindness and good wishes all around, I'm rapidly recovering, and should be off the crutches in a day or two. Certainly the amount of swearing has diminished. I'll tell you the embarrassing story of how I ended up rolling around in agony in the next door neighbours' yard in a bit - lots of work to do today.

zazuomgwtf, you seem to have started a fad.

When I went splat on the grass, I guarantee there was no doubt whatsoever that I had injured myself. Probably no doubt for some miles around. :-)

I recall reading, back when I was absolutely living and breathing football, about a goalkeeper back in the 50's who *broke his neck and didn't even realise it* during a game.

Bizarre.
