What the hell am I talking about you're probably wondering.....
Well, a little tale, of my stupidity today....
I've always considered myself reasonably strong (strength that is, not smelling....I hope....)
So when Roy used to say to me do it 'F-Tight', I used to ask, 'F Tight?, or 'Kin Tight' - as one is much more than the other....
Anyway, since my on-going weight-loss, I've found a couple of disadvantages to my new lesser 'padded / weighty' self
1) when leading my wife's horse about - I used to be able to hold him much easier if he tried to pull away, whereas now, I get dragged about a bit and he's sussed it already....(little sod!)
2) My excess weight/padding made some of the more labour intensive motor related operations a little easier, where weight could be used to undo / shift / bend or whatever needed to be 'adjusted'.
SO, the 'popping sound'?? - well after one such attempt to put my body weight to use today, the popping sound was my lower two right hand ribs, as I managed force my own fist through them! - oops!!
4 hours in QA Portsmouth A&E - departing with a large box of Co-Codamol, I'm now looking I suspect to an uncomfortable sleep tonight.....
and probably for a few more yet....
So do I get a 'Darwin award'? - for being a certified idiot...?
ps - Frank - see ya tomorrow morn at Goodwood, painkillers permitting..
