If you thought the middle east was dangerous (NDR or UWPR)

Well would you believe it........

I got home last friday after my two weeks in Sharm having missed the bombs and everything and thought i'd be safe enough in sleepy little Jersey. Then I went out on saturday night to do my part time photography job and I get attacked by some yob in the street!!! :11:

The result - 10 stitches in my head, two split and swollen lips!!!

I do hope you are OK and that it will soon heal.
Gosh - I'm really sorry that such a thing happened to you.
So next time - be careful, please....

OUCH! Stitches and a goose egg to boot! Nice color in that photo, great composition...What camera did they use?

Seriously...isn't it amazing that the danger we should be watching out for is on our own backyards? I'm hope you got your share of licks in, too! Take care of yourself....

Damn dude, I sure hope the other guy looks worse.

Hope your headache is better today!

But the real question on everyone's minds is "when will you be back in the water??"

That's just not right!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone....i'm sure i'll be fine in a few days time. At least I can take solice in the fact that the police have the name of the assailant, so he should be getting his dues!!

The police have also told me to claim for compensation on a scheme that is run locally for victims of crime - minimum payout is £750, so with the stitches and few other cuts and scrapes, I might have enough for a new lens or two !!!

Thankfully the S2, lens and flash all escaped injury, just a cracked lens hood, although by the time i'm healed the sea temperature / viz will be pretty poor, so it might be March/April next year before I get to dive again :frown: :frown:

Maybe I can send you a few of the "local boy" coppers to adjust a few attitudes.
