Charnock@BigJackBrass I have quite a good book about stick whomping people and Umbrellas get a good chapter, but the abuse of sword cane is fabulous.

@Printdevil Star Wars would be greatly improved if the weapon of the Jedi had been a good brolly. An elegant weapon for a more civilised age.

That's my excuse too ... well ... perforated torn meniscus...
Martial arts injury.
Well in the sense the 9 year old who kicked me has a purple belt in jujutsu...

@Printdevil @satsuma @RogerBW @BaronessWinter I have a climbing injury affecting my fingers. It's genuine, but I was slightly less than two feet off the ground when it happen.
