    I had a plastic cast put on my arm after I severed a couple of tendons
    in my left hand and because I couldn't work my boss told me to ****
    off on holiday for a few weeks. At this time I was working in SA so
    two days later I was surfing off the beach in Durban and the plastic
    cast was awaiting my return on my beach towel.

    It's no wonder my hand is totally fucked but looking back on all the
    stupid tricks I pulled to do the damage I'm not sorry about it.

    Another cunning stunt was telling Bedford hospital I was allergic to
    plaster casts after suffering a spot of ligament damage in my left
    ankle. I was due to go to Glencoe for a week of ice climbing and had
    no intention of missing out so every evening I sat with my foot in a
    stream to reduce the swelling. Oddly enough I limp quite badly at
    times and while there may be other reasons I can't discount the
    climbing.

    I'm not sorry about that one either.

    I think that your efforts on the race tracks of the UK have inspired
    more people than my acts of stupidity. What you've achieved on public
    roads on the other hand..

    I'm determined not to die wishing there was something else I could
    have done but bottled it.

    I've just unearthed that posting, and though I made it, I have no
    recollection whatsoever of it. Mind you, those exchanges did run on
    and on...
