Now, I'm not one for gossip, but
this latest morsel, it's a good 'un.
Jayne she took a trip to Belfast
(nudge nudge wink wink) ... fallen woman.

Go forward, go forward bold leader!
Well she knows she's in charge and we need her,
she falls forward with grace,
and she leads with her face,
just to prove she's our number one bleeder!

[Chris O'Carroll]

We raise a health to our friend Jayne,
Wishing her body free of pain,
And her blithe spirit un-deranged
Despite her face being re-arranged.
To give hurt feelings some protection,
I offer this heartfelt reflection:
No matter what scars people see
On her, she’s prettier than me.
(Admittedly, that standard’s low.
I had to go with what I know.)

Richard, Matt and Chris,

Thank you SO much for making me laugh.
As you know, I don't do things by half.
My unfortunate trip
meant I damaged my lip,
so I'll cover the scar with a scar-f.

I'm thankful it's not commonplace-
falling over and busting my face,
but I'm really glad
it wasn't as bad
as if I had fallen from grace!

But seriously, I'm grateful to you all for your wit and great humour. It's doing wonders for my recovery.

Jayne,
I've only now seen this. Nasty and clearly very painful. Glad you are now able to laugh at it.

Our Leader fell flat on her moosh,
The result of a trip not a push.
Her damage was oral
And gorily plural.
Less so had she "planted" her tush.

Better luck next time -- if there has to be one!

[Jayne Osborn]

Haha. Thank you Martin.

I've repeated the trip back to Belfast, to see the Giant's Causeway and the Titanic Exhibition, both of which we missed on the previous visit, but I'm trying very hard not to repeat the other kind of "trip."

Jayne
