Whilst living in the deep dark recesses of the Solomon Islands a few years ago (OK, Munda), I started to have lots of accidents. I pranged my truck, I stuck a freshly sharpened chisel into my wrist (all tendons intact!), I had the worst fall off my pushbike ever (those damn slippery coral car parks), plus other minor stuff, but I noticed I never hurt myself drinking beer. I decided after a while that sitting around and drinking beer was a very safe activity. The only problem is, you don't get much climbing done. Quandary! |
