hope you're ok though, what happened exactly? i'm not going to be there tonight so require a description of the event!

More of a Humpty Dumpty I'd say :)

Was going down Hornsey Road towards the Emirates and was just about to filter past reaaaly slow moving traffic when this lovely gent put on his right indicator and got to the middle of the road where he waited until he was able to turn. In normal conditions I would have stopped with space to spare but unfortunately today it was really "greasy".. to cut it short: my front wheel locked and I started sliding towards the car hitting it while simultaneously falling down on my side..

Guy was really nice about and said that as long as I was OK he was happy ...
Damage: my headlamp, car's bumper and... that's all :D thankfully! Not mentioning my pride and next year's insurance quote that is :(

you silly boy, glad you're alright. don't go claiming for that on the insurance! not worth the hit for next year. surely it's a 50-50 blame thing so you can just repair yourself and he can repair his own?
