Also that pothole's a dick. Glad you're not dead. One silver lining is that having a fractured collarbone means you won't be riding a bike much, so you won't bleed to death from falling off it. So. There's that.
I think God was trying to send you a message by putting that crack in your bike, tbh, and now you've forced his hand :(

Heal TFU Hippy. Hope you are back on the bike soon.

Presumably the pub has a case for lost earnings?

Bugger! So fucking tired of threading my way through potholes, there are two massive ones on my commute that I have to go almost to the centre of the road to get around, have to signal and make sure I'm not getting overtaken. Hit one in the dark yesterday that made a metallic ting as it connected with the rim, spent the next minute waiting for the hiss of a puncture. Hope you're ok chap

Is that what you meant by 'smashing my face into the Uxbridge Road' last night, hippy? Or where did it happen?
Do you have photographs of the pothole? Send off your compensation claim asap.

Monday. Signalling and hit pothole. I think I might actually try and get the lawyers involved on this one as I'm fucking sick and tired of spending my days avoiding (and clearly failing to avoid) potholes. Missed pub quiz so that's gotta be damages right there..
Oh, after 5hrs in one hospital they tell me I should be in another one getting a facial xray because they can't analyse xrays here. Cue: day spent in second hospital to be told fractured collarbone and "Usually on Warfarin if you hit your head they'd do a brain scan.. but it's been 18hrs and, well, you'd be dead"
