...would you be annoyed if one stump was longer than the other?
WTF?
You need to get out more
Are you having a mid-life crisis or a nervous breakdown?
It's definitely one or the other.
Maybe both?
No.
I'd be annoyed if one was shorter though.
I'd be more concerned about finding them again.
What has being paraplegic got to do with an annoyance at the relative heights of cricket apparatus??
Well, I'd hope they'd do a neat job of amputation, and make sure they were nice and equal, if only to make it easier to produce proper matching artificial legs. Like having proper matching boots. 😀
Having spent the day looking after someone in a similar situation, I'd suggest that the length of your stumps would be a minor consideration.
That hotel room must be really boring! 😆

I think we should all chip in and get him the porn channel.
If only to make it stop.

As rogerthecat says, quite..
Of course crikey I am not suggesting that being disabled is trivial; however if I were I suspect people being super serious about things all the time would really get on my tits.
DON'T DO IT!
Cut your cock of instead, then no need to worry about equalisation issues.
I wouldn't mind if I could walk clockwise round hils...

But if you had to double back on yourself you'd fall over!!
this is the kind of question that works on just about every other forum except this one.

Cool. Ask it on another forum and send us a link so we can see what the proper behaviour is.
I probably wouldnt care. I'd probably be asking my mate where he got his carbon prosthesis with the fox can on it made.

The chap had lost one leg, and he did say that he'd get twice as long out of his socks, which was pretty good for the situation. 😀
druidh - you don't double back, you keep going round the hill until you are back at the start.

That lawn is a disgrace.
You can't just pop onto a website and order prosthetics, can you? I think it's a bespoke service, so I guess you could have one made with a Fox shock if need be. If I had a hefty insurance payout I might be tempted to spec a CCDB just to show off.
No, I dont think it's that one though - similar. The brakes not being on the same side of the bars on the bike suggests not - he's missing an arm too.
I used to work with a guy who lost a leg in a car accident, and he had 4 different legs, including a lightweight leg for ...well.. general messing about, a heavy duty leg for work, a 'golf' leg with a limited swivel in the knee joint.
He was a bit like Swiss Tony and had a number of frustrated housewives that he would visit. I did ask him if he had a special leg for sex but he never admitted it..

Sorry, did I piss on someones rhubarb?
Nice job MTBing then! I worked with a bloke who'd done a sportive with a bloke with no hands at all. Fixed, or coaster brake I wonder?
I'd be so drunk that it wouldn't matter..

[s]Nah, I think you just made a rather rash statement and someone jokingly pointed this out[/s]
Not at all. It was a bit of an ambiguous reply is all, and I just wanted to know what you meant.
Edit fr Jamie 😉
That mate of mine likes to do 24hr solo races. Does pretty well considering.

@Crikey - sounds like guy I played volleyball with - one for everyday, one with extra bounce for volleyball and his "dancing" leg. Real gallows humour.
I'm glad I don't have to use prosthetics, I've heard they cost an arm and a leg!
baddum tsssshhh.
