I've crushed the end bone in my little finger, bust my ankle (no broken bones according to A&E, but...) and poked a chainsaw in my forearm, but the thing I have most trouble with is tennis elbow.

 

The scratches, strained back and dust in the eye go without saying, but the latter once gave me iriditis, which was fairly unpleasant.

Nearly paralised myself once.

 

Fell of f the back of van onto the top of the jockey wheel, missed my spine by about an inch.

 

Couldnt walk properly for a few days with really bad pain for a couple of weeks, shooting pains up and down both legs for about a year.

 

Asda's own ibuprofen sorted it out :001_smile:

A gandelfish looking old fellow failed to stop his Ford Fiesta (other hatchbacks are available) with the common practise of using the brakes the other day, instead in his almighty wisdom he decided the best way to halter his progress along a minor B-road in East Yorkshire, was to end his journey abruptly by smashing straight into my Ford Transit (other crew cab tipper wagons are available).

 

 

 

 

 

 

No-one was hurt. In my disbelieve as to what had happened, all I could muster up to say was "You shall NOT pass".

I got a whack from a twig in the eye once, it was so painful even the next day that I thought there was something in it so i went to the eye doc. The doc took one look and said "you were lucky, I'd better get the consultant to look at it" the consultant had a look and said "you were lucky". Apparently I had a deep gouge in the surface of my eye, Its still there as they dont actually heal. The lucky part was its just out of my field of vision, and its only visible to eye specialists.:001_smile:
