I am going to be in so much shit when Paula finds out. I was doing something silly and bashed my head (again). Luckily Les our odd-job man who is trained in first aid was with me, so he patched me up....

what was it this time?

[Giles]

Climbing a known unsafe structure to get over a wall. It collapsed.....

Stupid old man! (could have been me)

[Giles]

Oh yeah, we both knew it was stupid with an 90% chance of a fuck-up occurring....

Unsafe structure, wall or both?

[Giles]

The thing I was climbing up. The wall I hit with my head is 18" thick, so even my head did little damage to it.....

[ARNC]

Sounds like it could have been a lot worse - head vs wall isn’t a fair fight!

[Matt]

Yeah, my instinct is to give you some shit but we both know I’d probably have done the same thing.

better watch out on the water---Orca's can smell that a mile away

[sabergirl]

Oh damn, Giles! Please go get checked out by a doc—hitting your head hard enough for blood can be bad news. They may recommend at CT scan. Glad Les was with you.

Glad to hear it didn’t cause more than a skin cut and bleed.
No ill effects on the recent surgery?

[Matt]

I feel like a dedicated Giles’ Various Injuries thread is long overdue.

[Giles]

No injuries to hip....

glad you ok @Giles be careful now

[ROman]

@Giles Oh dear, glad your OK. I think Paula had her own incident in Greece.

[A Former User]

Stubborn crew right? Glad you’re ok @Giles take care

[Giles]

Lots of walking and cycling today - and a bit of fishing…….

[louisbosco]

@Giles be careful not to hurt yourself

Looking to take advantage of the hive mind here: the missus and I will go on a 2-week holiday after my Day Skipper course has finished. Plan is to start in Southampton and head towards The Eden Project, taking in some sights along the way in week 1 and making our way towards Oxford in week 2. Any recommendations for sights/museums/pubs etc would be much appreciated.
