How long before taking the piss?

Post by Le_Fromage_Grande »

A mate has fallen off on a trackday, he's been to hospital and is now on his way home, so he's okay, how long should I leave before taking the piss - you know the sort of thing "You don't go fast enough to fall off" etc.

He would feel better if you'd been saying that before the track day.

I'm pretty sure that, if I was not staying in hospital, my mates (and internet weirdos) took the piss pretty much immediately!! :lol: :lol:

As soon as he regained consciousness would be when I took the piss out of mate.

Depends how he lobbed it.

Too late, should have started while he was in the ambulance on the way to A & E.

If he’s not still in serious pain, you’ve left it too late.

IIRC when I came off on the Island, the ambulance personnel were taking the piss before they threw me into the back... :D

The plot thickens, someone else I know fell off on the same corner yesterday, apparently after a collision with another rider.

Had a mate fall down his stairs at home, fractured his skull in several places, along with his eye-socket. Was kept induced for a few days. Quite bad, all in all.


How long to you think it was before I sent him the 'stickman falling down stairs' GIF? ;)

I did think it was too soon, but when I caught up with him face-to-face he said it made him laugh and showed that I cared. Go for it. :thumbup:

A few months ago my cousin lost his lower leg after long illness.

We're all taking the piss with pirate jokes :obscene-birdiedoublered:
