Once a schoolirl stepped out in front of me on Kentish Town road. I must've hit her at 20 miles an hour. She was okay, weirdly, but i was totally mullered.
Maybe get that arm checked out though if I was you.

Get into A & E first thing in the morning. If it's swelling and very unbelievably tender, then you probably have broken something.

You normally know yourself if it's broken.

Hot and cold treatment usually helps. Run a hot bath, immerse arm in it. When done get a bag of peas (or whatevers handy) and keep it pressed on the arm. This should bring down any swelling and aid the recovery process.

Oh yeah, and for the pain. Alcohol, drink it don't apply it ;)

I've just spoken to him.

At 2am he decided the pain was too much and went to the hospital who were, as you'd expect, not that helpful in the middle of the night.

x-rays are failing to show any major damage but the doctors believe there to be hairline fractures in his arm.

Currently a sore boy, Smeear is in high spirits yet some what annoyed that he will be unable to provide prizes in hat form for the tournament this weekend. In his words, "There will be prizes but they will be badly written notes, using my left hand, which state 'Smeear owes you one hat' ".

He also thanks you all for your concern.

I was lucky on sunday when I pulled the brake way to hard and long and went over the bars with the bike over me. A dog went out on in front of me in camden. Stupid people not having a leash on their dog. I could easily have been a car. Only a sprained wrist, a bit of scraping on the ground and a bent saddle.
Can't imagine what it'd be to actually have it broken and have an income based on the fact that the hands must work properly. Heal up man!
