[GGG]

Isn't NZ one of the safest countries on earth?

Just out of curiosity, what kind of verbal insult is considered to be the worst in NZ? The answer is so different around the world.

Calling a New Zealander an Australian

Terrible news

Hope the big fella's ok. It's sad to hear how badly he's been hurt, and hopefully they catch the ****ers who did it and hang them by the balls for a few hours before sending them off to prison.

Of course, we don't know the full extent of the injuries, but how long does it usually take to recover from a fractured skull and collapsed lung?

Six to twelve months?

Sprry to derail the thread, but Pakistan @ last position? Hardly makes sense tbh.

Yeah depends entirely on how badly he's injured. Is it just the skull and collapsed lung though?

Jesus, just heard about this. Best wishes to Jesse, here's hoping he pulls through this okay.

Pah. That could equally be down to a greater willingness to report incidence of crime in certain countries above others.

Yes obviously assults wouldn't get reported in a lot of countries, but I am sure you would agree that NZ has more than it's fair share of drunken thugs.

It's Christchurch. There is a lot of anger in the village of the damned...

My family (and friends of) drove around NZ in a van when I was 16. We got into Christchurch late one arvo and a concert was playing in a park. We took a turn down a street and saw 2 guys about to beat each other up. Their mates were about to follow up. Down went the accelerator and we POQ.

Later that night we checked into a hotel. Strange night. From my pillow I looked out the window at the pitch black. Couldn't see a thing. Or hear anything either. Not one noise. Quiet as a hermit's cave. Had a good sleep though. The town has kind of reminded me of a game of EPL soccer ever since. Violent and boring.

Seriously terrible news about Ryder. Hope he pulls through.

Whats induced coma? How does it differ from a coma?

 

[Flem274*]

For an induced coma the doctors put you in a coma on purpose to control your condition or some ****.

Normal comas aren't planned. You just whack your head or something and you shut down.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

It reduces bodily functions to their absolute bare minimum which in turn reduces the rate at which permanent brain damage develops. In short, serious ****.

No more marathon running or diving for him but other than that, I think he can recover from the collapsed lung in not too long. Might be talking out of my arse of course, so feel free to correct me.

Well Davy Russell had a collapsed lung at Cheltenham, had it checked and rode the next day then after 2 races went back to hospital. Back riding a week later though.

You are right. My dad had a collapsed lung after his bypass surgery. It took him only 20 days or so to recover to his earlier normal self. Collapsed lung isn't life-threatening from what I know. People can live for weeks on artificial breathing systems.

Fractured skull is worrying in Ryder's case. I hope his brain isn't ****ed in any way.

One feels for the big man
