Man down :-(

It’s amazing how the body heals, both physically and mentally. Take it a step at a time but shouldn’t be long before back riding. Fantastic to hear you’re out of the hospital.

I hope the second mile, back up from Costa, went ok too. Keep climbing out of the hole, sfb.

Does typing on a keyboard count as exercise?

depends what you’re typing with

I took the bus home 🙂 Too big a hill in my weakened state!

Good luck with your recovery sfb and that bloody-mindedness of yours will reap rewards. 😉

Welcome back 🙂

Step needs painting 🙂

Good to see you on the road to recovery

Legs look abit brown. Tropicana spray tan?

Bloody hell the whole thing must have been scary for your riding buddies, those legs though phwoarrrrrr 😛

no artificial colours on my legs, just a trick of the light 🙂 From what I’ve been able to gather, it was a harrowing experience for many others, and my son was told I’d never be able to care for myself, but I slept through all that and as soon as I regained consciousness started trying to escape!

Glad you are ok SFB 🙂

” . . . I’d never be able to care for myself”
Hmmm, some would say that’s obviously true. Just look at the state of those shorts 😯
Do you even own an iron???

Through being away in Greece until a few days ago (internetless) and, since I got back here, not paying as much attention as I should to forum posts I completely missed this until this morning.
What a shocker would be an understatement! However, I’m really, really glad that you’re be on the mend Simon. From one old fart to another, keep on keeping on, yessir – all the very best!

yes I do own an iron, kindly given to me by a club member, but I’ve not had occasion to use it yet. As far as I’m concerned, my body isn’t flat so my clothes don’t need to be either 🙂

I have a card from someone signing themselves “Esme” showing a group of 1920’s ladies with their bikes captioned “here we are: powerful erotic and ready to go”. I have no idea who Esme is 🙂

😀

I missed you when you left this place Simon.

A bit drastic, but you’ve pulled off the best return since Lazarus.

Take care.

this was only a flying visit 🙂

Great to hear and see you on the mend.

I normally just lurk on here but I’ve been following this thread from the start. Simon walked by me Lancaster today. I’ve checked the picture and it was him! Glad you are up and about and best wishes for your recovery.

you coulda said hello! I’m not that unsociable 🙂

You looked busy… and you were walking faster than me!

I’m never busy, I’m retired now 🙂

Welcome back. And the best news is that the thread is no longer sticky.

I was going to suggest to Mark it was about time for that!

You’ve done well SFB. Welcome back.

😀
[wonders when bottoms will appear]

How long before the full scale arguing/piss taking starts? 🙂

Hurrah . very happy to hear you’re on the mend.

simonfbarnes can I just say now you are wrong. Wrong on any topic (there got it in there first). Phew, I’d never dare say that to Tandemjeremy, he’d ‘ave me.

Great to see you are on the mend! Nice one.

Hora is a nice person
STW is a fascinating place
I always stick to recognised rights of way for bikes

all wrong apparently :o)

Welcome back 🙂

Hope you have a speedy recovery and can get back riding soon.

Welcome back!

I’m already gone 🙂

I’m back on my bike:

Yay!

Nice arse.
