It seems I dislocated my shoulder and broke a bone at the same time, the ambulance guy said the technical term was ' a twoferr'. Anyway they pumped enough morphine into me to knock out a shire horse..but I was still conscious. They gave me some gas and air stuff but still I wouldn't go under. The ambulance guy asked if we had any 2x2 lying around as it was the next step. However another bellyful of gas/air stuff and off I went to hospital where they pumped more morphine into me to get the shoulder back in place...not an experience I'd recommend. The pay off for all this morph was a night in the A&E ward. Now being a Saturday night I shared my experience with some fun loving guys who had been fighting in town. A big shout out to Patrick, for the 2 am rendition of ' Danny Boy'.

anyway it looks like I am here for a few weeks sitting in front of my PC. its taken ages to write this but hey...what else am I doing?
