Spying Coxon across a crowded room at a pre-Christmas bash Overmatter was naturally keen to catch up with him, and to hear how his rehabilitation had progressed following the unfortunate “thumb punctured by fork while attempting to open fiendishly unopenable package for Overmatter” incident last summer (PrintWeek, 22 July 2013).
It was delightful to learn that he was, more or less, fully recovered.
During the subsequent chit-chat, Overmatter had to move out of the way of another guest at the event, who wanted to inspect the nearby table plan.
Alas! In the course of the resulting shuffling about, the large board displaying said plan became dislodged from its stand, plummeting to the floor where its fall was broken by, err, Coxon’s foot.
Injuries at this time of year are usually the result of some sort of piste-based activity. In this case, it was a different type of, um, piste.
We have a feeling that when it comes to new year’s resolutions, one of Coxon’s will be “avoid Overmatter”.
