and a bunch of friends, we were out having fun, and for bikers, having fun is... you are on a platform where you get to test the speed of your bike, so you are basically racing on the road. something happened and i lost control of the bike, went off, hit a pelican roadside. by the time the commotion had happened, i just roadside. by the time the commotion had happened, ijust realised i was missing a foot. the most difficult pa rt missing a foot. the most difficult part was me accepting my situation, and accepting myself just part was me accepting my situation, and accepting myselfjust the way i am. iwas and accepting myselfjust the way i am. i was busy trying to compare the life that i was in at that point in time compared to the life i was living before. so i have to dress up this baby. it‘s called bobby. i had achieved a little bit of success from my past life up until the accident, so i had fear of from that
1:53 am
point i am going down the drain. i really battled with myself to come to an understanding of — it‘s mental, you need to deal with it and move on. the internet helped me a lot, because i googled and researched how guys are doing, guys who have gone through the situation that i was in. how do they cope, how are they dealing with it? and i was actually surprised that guys are doing amazing stuff, even if they are amputees. the main reason why i cut back on the bike, even after the accident, was i could have lost my foot from different things. i could have lost my foot driving —— got back on the bike. it can happen from different sports. i blamed it on me. why? because it was me and the other friends. not all of us crashed. the fa ct friends. not all of us crashed. the fact that i crashed does not make the whole sport in totality cruel. i

1:55 am
hello again. we‘ll take a look at the weather picture through tuesday, and i think there‘s going to be quite a bit of cloud in the sky first thing in the morning, because this is what‘s going on at the moment. we‘ve got a stripe of cloud in the west. this is a weather front that‘s going to be pushing eastwards. as it does so, it is all the time pushing into an area of high pressure, so the front itself is going to be a weak affair, but it will provide the focus for some showers. now, for northern ireland and also for scotland, expect some showers running in here over the next few hours, so it might be worth taking a waterproof jacket with you or an umbrella if you‘re heading outside over the next few hours. there is also the chance of some shower developments in north wales and north—west england, but otherwise, across eastern england, eastern scotland, it‘s going to be a dry morning. now, through the rest of the day, those showers in northern ireland and scotland will continue on and off through the morning. as the heat of the day builds further southwards, we‘ll see further shower development across wales,
1:56 am
northern england, and perhaps the midlands as well. some of the heavier showers could be across more eastern portions of england, perhaps across the pennines, somewhere like that. but towards the south—east, it‘s going to be a fine, sunny afternoon, feeling warm and humid, temperatures up to 27. but more typically, temperatures for most areas low to mid 20s. now, looking at the low pressure towards the middle part of the week, an area of low pressure is going to be moving off the atlantic, ultimately pushing a band of rain in, with strengthening north—westerlies as well. so turning wet for northern ireland and western scotland through the morning. a dry start for eastern scotland and for england and wales on wednesday, with some morning sunshine. things will tend to cloud over as the day goes by, with the rain getting into western fringes of england and wales, and across into eastern scotland as well. now, to the east of our weather front, that‘s where the highest temperatures are going to be. we‘ll still be reaching temperatures of around 25 for norwich and london, still feeling rather humid, but ultimately that weather front will push through. it‘s a cold front, and it will be bringing that fresher air right
1:57 am
the way across the country by the time we get to thursday. so thursday‘s a day of rain clearing, followed by some dry weather and sunshine for england and wales. showers moving into northern ireland and scotland, and perhaps northern england as well. the showers quite widespread, heavy, and likely to be thundery at times too. temperatures high teens across northern areas, 23, 2a degrees in the warmest spots further south. what about the end of the week? well, another area of low pressure looks set to move in, but there‘s a lot of uncertainty how far north or south this one‘s going. some models take it north, some move it right the way across southern parts of england and wales. either way, it looks like it‘s going to be unsettled for some of us, at least, through friday and on into the weekend, with rain at times. 00:12:41,795 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 that‘s your latest weather.
