Failing to stop
First post, so be gentle...

Many moons ago (I was 17), I managed to come off my bike in the middle of one of the busiest roundabouts in Yeovil (by the Pen Mill Hotel in Yeovil for those who are interested).

This was caused by me failing to stop at the roundabout, and a stupid driver failing to indicate. I hit the front wing of her car and flew through the air, sans bike, at an appreciable rate of knots. After coming to in the middle of the roundabout, I was taken to the local hospital (wearing lycra) to be patched up.

End results were mild concussion, fractured thumb (doc said I was lucky it didn't shatter), various cuts (including parallel ones on the inside of my right knee), an an ankle that clicks intermittently when I walk.

On the plus side, the A+E nurse was very cute.

Props for the cute nurse.
Sorry about the bits before it though.

Pen Mill Hotel
Still standing. There's probably a few that have been burntout by pikeys in Yeovil.

I'm sure it was that one.
It didn't get burnt to the ground, just the insides.

Damn

It was burnt out in 2006. I was living in Lickey End at the time. Please forgive my ignorance.
