Bought a portable jump starter with power bank. With five cars and six bikes you never know when you may need one.

Just 49,90 euros at local Lidl so it was a bargain. :idea:
1983 GS1000G | 1984 GSX1100EF | 1997 FLHR | 1998 FLSTS | 1999 R1100RT | 2016 Triumph 1200 XRT

Spent the night in hospital. Bloody Gaza protesters having a sit inn at Barclays Bank in Chichester. Just about to leave, when I twisted around and went head over heels because one of the prats decided to sit down right behind me. Over I went kicking him on the shoulder and hitting my head on the floor. I was out for a good five minutes, lucky there were 4 police officers in there trying to remove the idiots. I came to hear the prat I had fallen over wanted to press charges on me. The copper quietly told him to shut up and asked if I wanted to press charges on him for ABH.
3 Hours later the police officer came to interview me in the hospital bed.Taking pictures of my leg and head. He said he has seen the banks video and said I can push for ABH or GBH if I wish. Darn right I do. Ive ended up with a black bruise on my leg and a big lump at the back of my head also a massive headache.
Got a call just after 2pm this afternoon to be told that he had been arrested and probably be in court on Monday.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you

I'm all in favor of folks being able to express their views. But, those who block streets, sidewalks, or damage property deserve nothing but contempt and whatever penalties the law will allow!
I hope you recover quickly and your courts give the fellow what he deserves!
