Gore fest time
Just been talking to a mate who's had a birthday yesterday and somehow we got on to talking about old injuries, scars and the like.
I have few, not massively impressive, but not bad. Here they are, from the toes up...
Injury: Dropped a G-clamp on my left foot in woodwork class. That really hurt and broke a couple of toes.
Injury: snapped me ankle playing footie in lower sixth. Heard it go, and hopped round the whole school building trying not to cry! Worst thing about that was there was a night out planned so I had to go all strapped up.
Scar: Right leg, lower shin. Just a nick to remove a cist that came back almost immediately.
Infiltration: Gravel in my left knee, good for bragging rights! (Although it can be argued you were a sh*t bike rider!)
Scar: Just below right knee. Skiing accident, novice skiier overtaking going slightly uphill, only it wasn't uphill, it was a pile of logs. Properly fu**ed my knee up that did for a while.
Scar: Back of left leg, just below my bum. Fell on a barbed wire fence and got stuck. Nasty one that was, but only needed a couple of stiches in the end.
Torso: scar free at the moment, as is my riight arm.
Scar: Left middle finger, caught in a door, ow, bit of a lump there now; Finger next to my thumb, chopped a slice of it off once when cooking; scar under my thumb from when I was 4 and I dropped a glass bowl and managed to slice my thumb nearly in two.
Scar: Left elbow, playing hockey for Uni against the mancs, at the mancs, F***ing went arse over tit leaving the changing rooms and sliced off a bit of bone. Kept me shirt though after that
No-one wanted to wash the blood out
And last one is the top of my head. Some mates were down in London for a birthday party, it ended up beng a lock in. The fella whos birthday it was was a bizzy so the drinking went on for hours. I swear to this day that I pushed the glass door open with my hands but the evidence is clear, I used my head and have the scar to prove it.
So fellow Reds, what damage have you inficted on your bodies?
