    Complain to anyone who will listen.

    Buy CDs/Clothes/Books/anything I've neglected to shop for when not injured

    Go to work on sunny weekends 🙁

    Find myself a new girlfriend, who's in for a nasty surprise when my ankle heals..

    Drink 😕

    You've got the internet, haven't you?

    Use your imagination. Sheesh, the kids of today. When I were a lad, we'd amuse ourselves for hours with nothing more than a cotton reel and a nail.

    Yeah, I want to give the 100 press up challenge thing a go, and there's also a 200 sit up thing too (might already be able to do that) http://hundredpushups.com/

    However, the injury is in my spine and neck so my physical abilities extends as far as walking..

    Its going well so far 😀

    Is your right hand injured?

    As much as I like, but I don't really enjoy walking anyway. I can ride my unicycle, but am limited to what I can do on it (by skill and injury). I think its stopped raining though.

    Is your right hand injured?

    Not yet. RSI, anyone?

    Initially I scream like a girl.

    Later on, I amuse myself by entering stupid competitions on the internet, and winning various pieces of tat.

    I do things that I'd usually feel bad about wasting my time on. Timesink computer games being a big one. When I bust my hip I got very good at Civ and Company of Heroes

    I was going to say, stick a jacket on and walk anyway, bit of rain doesn't matter. If you don't like walking though, not much point.

    Try yer left hand, might feel like someone else is doing it.

    No, just various internet comps. Loquax lists loads of them.

    computer games, reading, films, internet, self abuse (stand in front of the mirror insulting myself). Depending on the injury I sometimes take up swimming again.

    That limits you somewhat – was going to suggest that at the moment I half a torn calf muscle, so can't run or bike, but I have been out canoeing 11 times in the past 2 weeks (getting bored of that now). Had a running injury for over a year so did more biking. Alternatively, when I was injured last year I took up flying model helicopters – http://www.emodels.co.uk/plastic-kits/product_info.php?products_id=24552 seems to be highly recommended for somebody with little experience (not that I have one, but I'm thinking of getting one).
