The lady in question did not even bother to see how I was - she was far more concerned about getting into her waiting taxi, obviously en route to a pressing and hugely important engagement, than to worry about little old me lying sprawled on the pavement.
Luckily help was on hand and I was soon back on my way home and the inevitable wait at the local hospital.
So I am off work and am both ill and damaged - and feeling rather sorry for myself. Nothing serious but wearing, painful and tedious.
I am not going to bother attempting to paint anything for a few days so will instead concentrate on the rules for the Jutland project and also my plans for something 1815 related.

So sorry to hear that my friend. Get better soon!
It is a well known fact that buying new wargame materials, watching war movies, engaging in modeling projects and playing games all assist recovery!

Hope you are better soon, make the most of your 'break(s)', apologies for the pun.
One can always hope that the 'lady' in question will get her dues in short order. Sounds like she deserves it.
Wow! That is a terrible misadventure.
Hope you see a speedy recovery.
Hi Paul,
I am putting that theory to the test as I write! It is a pain to be sure but will be short lived. I hope to be back in action soon!
All the best,

Hi Jim,

Hi Jonathan,
Many thanks old chap! I am sure all will be well sooner rather than later.
All the best,

Hope you get better soon - sad you can't paint at moment , Tony
Hi Tony,
Cheers old chap! I need to lay in some new paints before the next batch of figures so the enforced break (no pun intended!) is no bad thing really.
I can catch up on some reading though.
All the best,
DC
David,
What a way to get injured! I must admit that wheely cases are a bugbear of mine ... even though I own some. Mind you, we only use the handles when moving our cases around in our cabin and not when going aboard ship or on the dockside.
People pull them along without regard to the space they take up nor the danger they are to others. I almost did what you did recently trying to get off a tube train. The person with the wheely case stood in everyone's way and did not make a move to get off ... until other passengers did, at which point they suddenly yanked the handle out, and began to push their way towards the door. I just managed to avoid falling over the case as they pulled it in front of me ... and had my feet run over instead!
I hope your injuries mend very quickly so that you can get back to working on your current projects.
All the best,
Bob
Hi Bob,
Many thanks for the good wishes. I often see these cases in use during peak commuter times and have had several near misses in the past. They are certainly candidates for Room 101!
All the best,
DC
Sorry to hear of your misfortune ,hope you will feel better soon.

Hi Alan,
It is a damned nuisance and thr chesty cough completes my misery but I am sure all will be well sooner rather than later.
All the best,
DC
Did you fail your saving roll? Bad luck old chap.
Hi Tim,
More like a critical hit methinks!
All the best,
DC
Sorry to hear this. A good reminder to us all to make the best of life as one never knows what lies ahead. Could be a wheelie bag lying in ambush!
Ross
Hi Ross,
It was a beautifully executed flank attack.for sure!
It's not serious, just very frustrating.
All the best.
DC
Hope you feel better and the healing process goes smoothly!
Ouch. All the best for a speedo recovery!!
Hi Lee,
Many thanks old chap! Not sure about the Speedos though.....:-)
Kind Regards
DC
Hi Spiderweb,
So do I for sure!
All the best,
DC
Sorry to hear about your misfortune
All the best David
If there is any truth about Karma the said "young lady" will be growing older somewhere drinking cold coffee waiting for an international flight that's been delayed
Or am old old, bitter and twisted ;)
Hi Geordie,
I like to think that she did not see what happened but then I always look for the good in people....
It could have been worse - after all, she might have missed her taxi.....
All the best,
DC
Oh dear! I hate wheely cases - I always want to kick them!
Apart from the obvious danger of trailing something behind yo, the people who have them always seem to stop dead at the bottom of stairs or escalators to fiddle with the handle and then at the top again causing, a pile up. They should be banned on the London underground or you should have to pass a wheely bag proficiency test before you are allowed to drag one. Hope you get better quickly!
Hi Legatus,
Many thanks old chap! I have often seen 'near misses' with these things and they are a menace as far as I am concerned.
All the best,
DC
