Lifes A Beach.

[ArchieHood 3,692]

Having spent 3 weeks just chilling and enjoying the sun I decided to up the tempo and flex my muscles on the beach volleyball court.I squeezed into my budgie smugglers and took to the court to represent the Brits against the Turks. All was going well until a wayward serve flew over my head,turning on a sixpence and with Baywatch in my head I began my sprint to recover the lost ball, I then remember going down like a sack of shit,something had gone TWANG and it wasn't my speedos.A trip to the hospital revealed a snapped Achilles and a leg plastered to the knee.I was told that flying home a week later would not be possible in a cast so on the morning of the flight it was removed with a bread knife.A visit to A&E and the leg was plastered again. I have a trip to the fracture clinic in the morning where I will learn my fate, anything under 8 weeks will be a bonus.The R-10 will have to stay in hibernation.

I may have the chance of some night shooting out of a Disco so I will keep hold of her for the minute Davy, and besides are you ready for the Fellowship?

Unlucky AH, hope you recover soon mate. You'll just have to get used to resting and getting driven around your permissions, but I'm sure you'll cope ...

get well soon, wurz

Speedy recovery mate
