Hi all, a little story for you. When i was a kid i could roller skate, i did it every weekend until i was 16 or something. Loved it, but just did it to keep in shape and thats all. Now, my daughter needed something to keep fit while at university and has decided to take up roller derby (yeah, roller derby thats what i thought!!) well, shes at home for a few weeks now. On Monday she was going to the park to get some practise in so me and Wendy went to watch and get out of the house for a bit, this is where it goe's down hill.

In her infinite wisdom she said "dad, do you want a go" and like a fool i said "yes", all of a sudden i'm a kid again and can roller skate. But in reality i'm going on 43 and 15 stone and i have wheels on my feet, not good. I stand up and set off, next minute i'm on my back side and in a lot of pain.

Not broken anything but boy, doe's it hurt. Moral of story, when you can do something as a kid doe's not mean you can now. It'll only end in tears.............

Have fun, John

Sorry but my sentiments exactly :laughing:

Seriously though, sorry to hear about your err, was it really an accident or self inflicted? Anyway, my sympathies are with you John...........

I don't mind fellas, but for five minutes it was fun and on reflection i had to laugh. Infact i did, just to hide my embarrassment.

From one 43 year old 15'ish stone John to another I could understand it if you had had a few beers but sober?

Bummer. I hope that you get well quickly.

I used to ice skate almost every day and then brought some in line roller-skates. I confess to passing them on when I turned 50.
