GWS Spindrift.

Mmmmmmm..........  Tramadol.   

Standard part of Auntie Charlotte's audaxing IFAK.  Mainly in case of the unlikely event of my back going on me.  Nothing other than Tramadol takes the edge off it when it does.  It's also ver' good for medicating a broken Liz as we found on the Middle Roads last year...

I've taken enough of them in the past to experience a shockingly bad case of impacted stool.

Kind of like trying to pass one of Fred Flintstone's bowling balls...

Oh yes, the constipation, I have saved you from the tales of my passing problems whilst in hospital. Lets just say, suppositories didn't help.

[Regulator]

Tramadol = Lots and lots of water.

To be fair, it does say that on the instructions...

Lying flat on my back for 2 weeks didn't help either, and the other drugs I was on, and the abdominal bruising, swelling and surgery.

Ya wimp!

It's much better now, it only really hurts if I lie on my side or reach above my head.

Everyone at work was saying "Sue her" but as I didn't actually make contact with her I dunno if I'd have had a chance, even if she had stopped.

She caused the accident though, the cloth-eared bint.

Ta for sympathy, in the first few days I had a cold and my niece was weeing herself every time I spasmed when a sneeze came. i told her she's out of my will.
 

If you'd hit her would you have had a softer landing?

Without question, but you run the risk of the bike stopping and your momentum carrying you forward and crushing your knackers on the bar stem.

had I hit her, I doubt I'd have been hurt so much.

Thing is, she was carrying her phone on my side of her head, utterly oblivious.

Best bit, I'm on the ground winded, she stares down, goes:

"Ooooohhhh!"

and walks off.

Phones are banned from driving maybe they should be banned from walking?

Oh and a hint is aim the front wheel between the peds legs.  You pick the up and hopefully stay upright.  You then stop and then you drop them on the floor.  Done that on a motorbike but not a cycle yet.
