Someone appears to have mistaken Uschi Niklas for a thespian (I have no idea why – she’s married with 3 kids – true story at the end of this drivel) and given her the traditional send-off before a performance.
Which she’s taken quite literally, doing an excellent job of fracturing the tibia and fibula in 3 places and ending up with a lower leg full screws and plates and godknowswhatelse to hold it all together.
This exercise thing’s bloody dangerous, I tell you…..
True story.
One of Mum’s posh relatives was talking to a less posh person and referring to an actress daughter of an acquaintance.
“Terence’s daughter is a thespian, of course”
To which the less posh person replied “Well, as long as they do it in private and don’t frighten the horses….”

>Yeah, I thought I'd met Uschi before! How was the trip to Ireland?
>Good luck to Uschi, I wish her prompt recovery.Thespian? I learned a new word today. Bilingualism is a real utopia (or never-reached ideal)
>Owww. That sounds painful (the broken leg, not the thespian bit).
>*guffaw*I wonder if all your readers have a sense of humour. Hope so.That shade of yellow is a bit off-putting.
>She does look like your visit lifted her spirits Jb. I hope she will mend quickly. Loved the joke! V
>Ouch! Uschi looks like she's having a good time in the hospital. She's a living example that women are courageous and certainly handle pain better than the other sex!!
