      Holy cow....

      "Farmer Breaks Neck On Motorcycle Then Rides For Help Holding Head Up By His Hair

      Yup, you read that correctly…

      73-year-old Australian cattle farmer, identified only as Jim, was riding his motorcycle on his farm, checking for hatching grasshoppers when he crashed and broke his C1 and C2 vertebrae.

      “I cracked my head on the ground but I don’t think I was knocked out,” the beef farmer told 3AW, an Australian radio station.

      “I got to my feet, I knew there was something seriously wrong. My head wouldn’t stay up.”

      What did he do? He got back on his motorcycle and rode to his house holding his head up by his hair before calling an ambulance.

      After receiving four bolts in his skull, Jim is expected to make a full recovery.

      “I’m a lucky fella, that’s for sure.”

      Australians are some tough-ass SOBs… You can read the full article from Australia’s 7 News here."

              Tough crowd. Does it help he was a paratrooper in the German army during world war 2?

                That is pretty tough.

                Is it only in the last 20-30 years that football players became absolute faggots ?

                  @jegga yes.

                  @MN5 yes. The gamesmanship and diving and stuff is actually recent. It's all down to money IMHO.

                  There was a book on soccer in Australia called "Sheilas, Wogs, and Pointers" by (I think) Johnny Warren. Talked about some of the physicality of the game back in the 70s and particularly as a lot of clubs in Australia we based around ethnic groups. It could get quite vicious.

                  For soccer.

                      Soccer at the lower levels without the cameras around can get pretty physical, the stuff at the higher level is an embarrassment to the game. The Argentinians seem to be really keen to bring this bullshit to rugby. Between that and the lasers I’m really wondering what the point of them is.

                              I Will Never Be As Tough As The Dakar Rider Who Won A Stage With A Busted Knee

                              Honda rider Joan Barreda Bort injured his knee badly on the seventh stage of the Dakar Rally this year, which he then went on to win. It took three more stages with a completely busted knee—one so badly injured that Barreda couldn’t even stand on it—before Barreda retired from the rally.

                                The other day I told the missus that the new dress she brought showed up all the bumps in the wrong places! And I'm still alive to type this (just).

                                  Yes, but you are now involuntarily celibate, or going to have to use tinder.

                                      Choosing who you marry is really important in that regard (and then not replying "yes" to "does my arse look fat in this").

                                            No. Just realistic (and I have done similar time).

                                            And this was just unwise -

                                                A couple of years ago me and a few mates did a charity cycle ride from London to Paris over four days. This Aussie bird who had bought a bike and rocked up at the last minute without any training dislocated her knee on the first morning. She completed the ride though.

                                                        The other day I told the missus that the new dress she brought showed up all the bumps in the wrong places! And I'm still alive to type this (just).

                                                        Yes, but you are now involuntarily celibate, or going to have to use tinder.

                                                        He’s married so the first option already applied.

                                                        Choosing who you marry is really important in that regard (and then not replying "yes" to "does my arse look fat in this").

                                                        No isn't always the best answer in these cases. Case in point. Mrs Cato "Does this dress make my bum look big"? Me "No, it's eating chocolate that does that".
