    Hey Utopia, seems I kinda got hurt

    Hi everyone, I was chatting to nick the other day and thought I'd drop everyone a line here to show what's going on with me. I was in a pretty bad car crash and came pretty close to death. Is gonna be a bit of a recovery from here so let me explain.

    About a week ago I was in an accident that was pretty crazy, I was on the front left (passenger side Aussie cars) when my friend drove off an encampment into a pole. I took most of the impact in a turbo car that is now written off. The crash happened around 2am ( I think) and it nearly killed me.

    We were both knocked unconscious and when my friend came to, the engine Bay was on fire. The seat belts both were stuck due to the impact. My friend managed to cut both our belts and bring me back conscious. We forced the door open my side and he dragged me out and about 30 meters from the car. Knowing I'd sustained bad injuries, I lay flat on my back and my body, being cold started going into shock.

    By the time the paramedics arrived I was unconscious again. So now it seems I have a long road to recovery ahead of me. The injuries i sustained were a broken neck, a fractured back in three places, broken left wrist and fingers, broken ribs, ligament damage to a fair few parts of my body, internal bleeding and a heap of other stuff.

    I dunno why I'm telling you, I'm bored in hospital maybe. Either way I'll try and upload some pics but I have to wear a steel halo for months etc

    Pics to follow

    I know the "I'm moving" excuse has run dry, but this is pretty extreme to avoid joining a kingdom lol

    Jokes aside, I hope everything heals up well and quickly

    Even thought there is utopia in title this is not utopia related and should be moved into general or even politics part of the forum.

    Apart from being perfectly ok to write in the same unenlightened manner like always seems to me you learned nothing from your near death experience, therefore I can only conclude it is fake.

    Nevertheless I do hope you will restrain yourself from doing podcasts until you get better.

    Get better dude.

    This'll take time Ben so you might as well dial in some meditation.

    My iPad's too primitive to see the pics, but I'm glad you aren't suffering paralysis by evidence of your post.

    I had to read that sentence twice before it registered in my mind.

    Echoing his response, hope you have a speedy recovery mate. Nice licence plate
