    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Four bloody hours there, including tetanus jab, (third jab in eight days) clean inside the wound (that smarted a bit), and an x-ray (no fractures ) All the staff there look fresh out of school. The radiologist looked at my outer calf muscle and exclaimed "Wow, what's happened there?" "Nothing's happened, that's my shape" Ok I know my shape generally won't get me on the cover of "Men's Health", but really?
    Hmm. Bet that's a bit sore today, hope it eases quickly.

    I'm in the 'been there, done that' camp, having busted and gashed many parts of myself.

    I'm off down the pub to enjoy a couple of beers before they go above £7 a pint! (It is predicted that by 2025, beer in London will cost £11 a pint. )

    I do feel sorry for publicans and bar staff though. It's an industry that's been on its arse for years.

    Thanks everyone, I'm feeling a lot better today. The gashed shin isn't giving me any problems, it's all the other bits, both ankles, right wrist and elbow. Didn't do much this morning, just a quick job survey and an hour overseeing a job we didn't finish yesterday because of the er, ladder thing.

    At home now, giving an Edie Brickell CD an airing. I'll give vinyl a miss for a couple of days, too much getting up to change sides.

    After the weekend we're going to have a couple of days in Poole. There's a good record shop down there (Boiler Room Records), so might manage a couple of purchases if Mrs. P's sympathy for my plight will last that long

    Was speaking to Alan Firebottle on the phone earlier, he is also in the 'been there, done that' camp. Seems to be an almost inevitable consequence of doing things. Maybe we should have a thread titled "Show us your war wounds"

    I don't think that is a good idea!
