Pete's Friday "miserable sod" rant thread
 

Feckin feckin feckers. Thieving feckin car thieves.

About ten years ago, I chased a stolen car around and had a right good scrap with the fecker after he abandoned it. During that scrap, I was kicked on the tip of my elbow. It broke a bit of bone off the tip which was quite sore. :rolleyes:

I had to scrap with him several more times when he failed to go to court, including in a loft after making a hole in the ceiling to climb up 'cos he was standing on the loft hatch. Gravity works really, really well dont'cha'know!

To add icing to the cake, the **** was convicted of the TWOC and assault but because he was a work shy, benefit claiming oxygen thief, he didn't have to pay any compensation to me. (I always donate these awards to a charity. I don't want their money)

A few years later, it needed a cortisone injection to settle it down and all was well.

About three months ago, the elbow flared up again and I had another injection. Now, I don't know if I'm a big softie or not, but by Christ, it hurt! I couldn't sleep for three nights, but it soon went away and all was well again.

Now, the pain in my elbow is really, really bad. I've lost loads of range of movement and can barely ride my bike (no clever comments about no change please)

So, a trip to the docs this morning (just what I needed after a week of nights) and I have to buy a very snazzy wrist support and arm strap thingumy.

I can't take Ibuprofen 'cos it makes me sick, so no anti-inflammatory drugs.

I'm basically going to have to live with it!

As a little aside that cheered me up no end, I was at work a few weeks ago when I had to deal with a lad. He gave the name of the pest who broke my elbow. PNC showed he was wanted for failing to go to court, so 'cuffs were rapidly slapped on.

He wasn't the lad, but a mate of his as it turned out, he'd given false details.

The best bit? When he heard my name, he went pale and said,

"You're not PC Phillips who used to work in Moston are you?"

Nice to know I have a reputation, even in a town like Manchester!



Right!

Rant over, sorry if it's a bit rambling, I'm severely sleep deprived and a pint of excellent home brew IPA to the worse, so apologies.

PS,

Freeman of the land who wanted a scrap a last set of nights has realised the error of his ways and has changed his plea to guilty of assault on me and speeding.

Nominations for a respectable charity should a court award be forthcoming please!

Pete ;) tired, bit pished and feeling old.

Go to bed Pete!

Charity suggestion, PC Rathband Blue lamp appeal or your local Air Ambulance

Justice prevails eventually

There is a respectable charity by the name of Mr Speirs needs a new bike.
I'm in no way affiliated at all but think I, I mean he, deserves it.

I have arthritic joints and like you I'm allergic to Ibruprofen. Surprised yer quack didn't tell you about the alternatives?

Re: Pete's Friday "miserable sod" rant thread
 

LOL, I bet you struted around the station for a while after that one.

TJ,

I've had problems with most of them. What with broken knees (work injury) hands (work injury) neck problems from getting rammed at work and so on, I've had loads od NSAIDS but I just can't stomach them . The first warning line on your link is me.

Pete ;)

Reads to me that you are trying to work up to a sickie;) Have you seen the long range weather forecast and found some nice riding weather?:riding:

Damm pubic servants with their early retirements and generous sick leave:plod: If you are not capable of doing a front line job. Move to the back office but keep working till you drop like the rest of us have to.

Glad to know it is not just me intolerant to ipuprofen. Still it means the quack just shoves tramadol on my repeat whenever I need it.

just jesting mate. Hope the elbow heals.

Second cortisone injection never worked in my shoulder either Pete. I swear it made it worse!

I feel for you, I spend most mornings undoing last nights sleeping shape. Usually takes an hour for my arm to relieve itself of pins and needles and my shoulder to untwist and go back to somewhere near comfortable.

If you push for alternative drugs they will cave in.

I can't take any anti inflamatory drug, nor opiate based drugs either, so all tramadols, ibuprofen, diclofenac, fuzzy wozzy sick, burning tummy, dizzy head stuff are all OUT. But then I have to wear a nice red wrist band in hospital, I'm extremely sensitive to them all.
