Broken Finger & Damaged Hand

20 August 2008 – 6:51pm

I was at my friends 21st the other day, we started at his house then ventured our way through town, Stu was with us too obviously.

Anyway, first pub we went into was Lady Le Gros, met up with a couple of friends and a lass called Laura, all got on very well and was a good night ahead.

Nellys was the 2nd pub we went into which started off the night, I guessed the bra size of Laura (first time I might add) and then came our opening game of Pool I gave Stu a game and won, although, I missed a few easy shots and was getting angrier every time. Second game was with a guy called Kirk who we met at Lady Le Gros, I lost too him and was just missing easy shots getting irate, shouting each time I missed, eventually I lost the game, smashed the cue in half (didn’t even use any force) and the we decided it would be best to move onto the next pub which was when I started calling Laura the wrong name (accidentally was calling her Laurna) for the rest of the night, I did apologise however.

We then ventured into Cross Keys which we stayed in for the rest of the night (until closing time), because of my actions in the last pub (smashing the cue at Nellys) no one would play me at Pool for around 2-3 hours, after calming down (went outside and played “dead-arms” with an old friend, clearly I won) I asked again, oh behold I got a game!

I won my first game, 2nd game which was 2 on 2, it was me and Stu vs the Birthday-boy and another very old friend (Lance), we where on the black (me and Stu) I turned to Stu and remember telling him if he couldn’t definately pot the black (it was his shot) to just give me the cue, anyway, Stu took the shot… The black went straight in without hitting the pocket edges, I turn to celebrate…

…I turn back around and I notice the white isn’t on the table, instantly I think Stu potted the white with the black, thus losing us the game, I turned around and punched the wall full-on, sounded like a gun had gone and quite a number of people turned around to where the Pool table is, Lance then tells me after I’ve punched the wall that he put the white in the pocket, meaning me and Stu did win, I started celebrating again and bought another drink, I then played a couple of games 1 on 1 with Lance which I won all of.

I initially new once I had hit the wall something was wrong, I couldn’t really clench my fist and it felt like it was swelling up (I woke up with a Hulk-hand on Sunday)

On Monday morning I went to the Doctors who then told me to pop into the local hospital to get an X-Ray, this came back as I had broken my finger, they strapped me up and sent me to the nearest City hospital for a further X-Ray and examination of my hand and wrist.

Today I went there and it was confirmed I had broken one finger, fractured the other, broke my metacarpal and damaged my wrist, I’m at another 21st party this weekend, I hope someone plays me at Pool!
