Heal up soon Dan, I hope it's an easy fix.

Damn.

Shotgun signing the cast.

Arses. Heal up soon Dan!

shitty dan! hope it's not too long before you're back on court.

Cheers everybody, and a massive thank you to everyone who helped me out last night. You are all lovely people.
The thumb is broken, got a cast on it and an appointment at the fracture clinic this morning. Bummer.
Disappointingly didn't get any gas in the ambulance as he couldn't find some kind of attachment for the canister, "good job you're not in screaming agony" he quipped. Yes, I though, good job. I did get my heart rate tested which was in the 40's which had them worried but then they just figured I was really fit, like some kind of superhero.
Wonky thumb (not quite as gory as Matt made it sound):

Can someone pm me contact details for Ben or whoever has my bike, thanks,

ewe, dan x heal up matey.

Mike has your bike. Heal up soon mate.

Jeez, that's no fun at all.
Hope its not too painful.

Brutality. Heal soon!

Yo dan, sorry to hear it's broken ( could job you didn't listen to my initial advise to pop it back into place).

Hope you're back on a bike real soon and that you'll still come out to Karlsruhe.

Take it easy.

Repost!

Bloody iPhone fail!

Just got back from the hospital where the nice men tied surgical tape round the end of my thumb to make a strap which one of the pulled full-on hard outwards along the length of my thumb whilst the other pushed it sideways into place, properly mauling it in. Nice. Seems to have done the job though. Thank Jesus for local anesthetic.

I asked them if they could set it in an Action Man style handlebar-shaped grip but no dice.

"Handle bar shaped grip"... pull the other one.

how much time have you got off ;)

ha ha i'll pull your other one...

ha ha i'll pull your other one...

ok that's completely unnecessary
