Was Andrew involved?

Mr Jan Trotman, 66, kept man of St Mary’s Bay has cracked his ribs:

On the eve of his return to Parliament, Winston Peters is nursing a rib injury after taking a fall.

Renowned as a hard man, the New Zealand First leader was clearing out election material in the weeks after the election when the accident occurred.

“I was moving a whole lot of post-campaign material down a stairway and I had an accident,” he says.

“That’s what happens when you miss your footing when your’re doing what you shouldn’t be doing – carrying stuff that is too heavy.

Although Mr Peters spent a number of days in hospital with the injury, he brushes it off saying nothing is wrong.

“I had an accident and it’s fine….I’m not here to give a private medical bulletin out.

I just bet those heavy campaign materials come in dozens and cardboard boxes. Andrew Williams was probably in close proximity taking out the empties.

    Classic case of Pensioner PFO (pissed fell over) if ever we saw one.  Wouldn’t have happened if he was living in a nice one story unit in a retirement village in Clevedon.

    I hope Gerry B tells the Clown from Cambells Bay where the trees are around the beehive.

      Maggie Barry has already offered to plant a dozen lemon trees around Parliament grounds so the CoCB doesn’t have to drive anywhere in his inebriated state to have a piss.

    I believe the action of clearing porn from his attic should be known as “…moving a whole lot of post-erection material down a stairway…”

      That would explain the “Renowned as a hard man” opening line.

    God, I’d sell my firstborn to see random breath testing in the House!

    It might have been boxes of old baubles, just making room for the next lot.

    or, black as it sounds, this could be the first fracture from metastatic prostate cancer. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

    Harden Up Winston, most of us who BREAK ribs don’t even need medical attention unless we can’t breath. It is obvious you are too old to do anything now. I was 67 when I last broke ribs.

    When you have smoked like a chimney all your life and destroyed much of your lung reserve, a small injury like a bit of bruising around the rib cage can compromise your breathing considerably. While most of us healthy non-smoking specimens would have laughed this off, Winston’s weaknesses would have been woefully exposed.
