Unbelievable

Much the same as tomb stoning and for the same reasons.

You gotta be kidding. Went tombstoning about 7 years ago, went with other (taller, heavier!) people and just followed their leads - never had so much fun.

Broke my coccyx in Vietnam though landing on my arse jumping off a 10m + waterfall. That wasn't so much fun! Some of the pain that followed that was intense, mainly the motorbike ride back, pure agony. That was just hitting water from a great height mind, not to be advised.

And to put everything in perspective I learned tonight that a friend has lost his leg in a car accident on the M3 last night, a serving marine (40 or 42 I'm not sure which) he's done several tours of Helmand and loses his leg driving home on leave, gutted for Lee and his wife Clair.

Sorry to hear about your friend Iggy. Strange how this life pans out. Serves his country for years and has a horrendous accident on leave!

Thanks Jock, I was saying to someone just now he's a very strong character so he will bounce back and I know somewhat what he must be feeling from facing adversity of my own (as you do yourself) but yes life can be a bitch.

I hope the marines look after him better than they do to some servicemen who get injured fighting.
