Last Saturday week I broke 3 ribs while on a beginner's sailing course. Every night since I have had the most godawful intercostal spasms. Seriously I'm talking scream out loud pain lasting about 5 to 10 seconds when I turn the wrong way. Having broken stuff before (including my neck) I thought I knew pain but this is ridiculous. I'd give it 9/10 at it's peak. I'm sticking to Chess.
Laughing, coughing, yawning and for the full 9/10: hiccough. Caramba! The only upside: can't cycle to work so I have to commute using the most beautiful object ever made: The (drum roll) Triumph Scrambler. Mmmmm the mere mention makes the pain vanish. It must be love.
Er.... true confessions: I am not a full member, just use my phone and don't know how to upload a photo. However she is Matt Pacific blue with stock exhausts which are iridescent blue fading to gold at the business end as I've put 2000 km on her. Next week: the TORS exhausts and she will sound like she has terminal bronchiectasis.
Bobby if you've a browser on your phone access this site through chess.com and then on the threads you'll see an icon to upload a photo from the memory of your phone. Anyway thanks for the description.
