Paul J Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 Climbed a fence yesterday, fell off and caught my wedding ring which nearly ripped my finger off! Had to dig the ring out of my finger which was in a right mess. A 3 hour wait in A&E is no joy on a saturday night, there was a distinct smell of booze in the air, Anyway they had to cut the ring off and stitched up the finger. i'll have to lay low for a few days so im ready for action next weekend PJ Quote

Paul D Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 I thought the same re: brownie points but apparently the fence was around Sandbanks ...... I am sure Paul will be OK for Alderney on Saturday though Quote
