Crap injuries
Last night, I watched The Bill. Nothing major there, I do that every week. However, in a commercial break, I spilt what can only be described as 'the ashtray' on the floor. Being the tidy sort of chap I am, and also noticing the hoover staring at me from across the room, I thought I would set to work on clearing up my clumsy error.
While I had the hoover out, I thought I may as well give the floor a quick once-over, and then utilised the snake-like-sucky-endy-bit to get in the gap by the sofa. Then disaster struck. As I stretched the snake-thing to reach the gap, the Hoover toppled down upon my pretty face.
I woke up five seconds later with blood streaming down my face. I now have a crap lump and cut on my once perfect face. I am unhappy.

I once got a black eye from my 3 year old cousin THROWING a ping pong ball at my face!

Re: Crap injuries
Lets see - crap injuries.
1) Got up from the sofa, had one foot inside of my trouser leg bottom and fell onto the table bending three fingers back.
2) Had a dream that someone broke into my house, got up half asleep to see and fell down the stairs - wound up in A&E with concussion the next day.
3) Big red blotch on my foot from where my horse stood on it and didn't move despite me screaming.
4) Got electrocuted when I was fighting with a gate to let a horse in and keep two from coming out.
Re: Crap injuries
For a while in the eighties, me and my mates all walked about with regular hotknife burns on our faces, through doing them on our own with no bottle, a slip, ssss, burn on mouth area. Explaining them to parents/teachers is a laugh.
Re: Crap injuries
i tend to avoid injuries, i supposed breaking my hand because i skidded in some mud at leeds a couple of years back was a bit shit....not entirely embarassing thought.
i just found a magnet under my bed advertising 'Kevin' at angelfire.com/on4/onthelineuk/. how odd.
Re: Crap injuries
I also once got told I had to go to hospital to pick up antibiotics for a bad eye infection. I went up hotknived out of my face, they took one look at my eye and decided I needed eyesurgery immediately.
All the hotknives enhanced the eye operation experience immensely.

Re: Crap injuries
As I leaned forward a shooting pain went through my shoulder/back, followed by a persistent ache/more shooting pain if I moved much and I had to take the day off work.
Re: Crap injuries
Barefoot.
It went right into my big toe and it bled for ages, but for some reason it didn't hurt. Which made it feel a bit pointless or something. Suppose it serves me right for 'borrowing' without asking.

Re: Crap injuries
I once dropped my walkman whilst riding downhill on my bike, pulled the breaks to stop quickly and went ove the handlebars breaking both arms and needing a stitch in my chin...ha just remembered they left the string too long and it looked like a whisker haHA.
Another time at a Green Day concert when I was 15 my friend kicked me in the face whilst crowd-surfing...she was wearing steel toe caps.

Re: Crap injuries
I fell out of a moving taxi while arguing with an ex. I hit the road hands first. I was wearing big skull rings, which disintegrated and were embedded in my hand, above the knuckles. I had to go home and dig all the pieces out with a compass.
Was at the top of a treelined hill, one of Scotlands baby mountains. Had taken a load of mushrooms, both psilocybin (?), the pointy ones, and phliagaric (?) the red ones with white spots from cartoons. Started to vomit badly after 18 hours of constant shroom topups. Had to descend the hill in darkness to try and catch the last bus back to Glasgow. It drove by me without stopping, but stopped further down the unlit road. I ran to get it and fell head first down a workmens six foot deep hole in the road. Escaped with just a bang on head from a pipe, but got completely covered in all manner of muck. Had to walk through Glasgow citycentre on a Saturday night like this to get home. This was the late eighties and just before Britains citycentres became magnets for saucereyed types completely covered from head to foot in mud and crap.
This is to remind Bamos...
of his humuliation. Wow, look at these posters though, memories...
it's just 'fly agaric'
aka amanita muscaria.
Wow
You really got knocked out by your hoover?
That's actually very manly. You know the Jaws homage scene in Chasing Amy? You can now invent a wild, sex-related reason for your scarring.
Anyway, poor you. Have a kiss: x
Climbed some scaffolding...
...put finger in electric socket. Fell off scaffolding.
This thread is so old
It is my lowest hour failing to read any dates or stuff and just replying.
Fool!
I'm now embarrassed
at not only the event, but it looks like I posted in the wrong forum.
Fuckers.
Or...
this was posted before there was a music/social divide.
I know
but it still looks bad. Damn you all. Or Theo, mainly. Even though he gave me a kiss.
ha ha this is a disaster
you fools
LOLarama!
I was reading this and pissing myself, almost quite literally with laughter.. and the thought occurred, 'Why did he post it on the music board - ha ha'.
Bless, Bamos.
I thought that at first too, but what a great thread.
My injuries are usually skateboard related ankle tweaks so not all THAT crap.
My board once smacked me in the chin, four stitches.
I once ran into a lamp post at school in front of everyone. Two stitches in chin. They laughed. I killed them. All.
WOW - damned in spite of a kiss
It sounds like a great song title.
In an alternative universe! :-/
Wow this thread is old
In any case, last tuesday I trapped my fingers in a heavy wooden door, and I lost some skin pulling my hand out of the hinge... I go outside the room to calm down and wait for my hand to stop hurting and then I bloody passed out for a few seconds and banged the side of my head. I was green when I got up. Yay!
Accidentally hung
myself after reading through this lot.
Darthy managed to injure herself with CDs on Saturday
or something. It certainly sounded like a crap injury but it looked painful...
someone explain to me what a "hotknife" is?
the question has been unanswered for two years!
anyway, continuing with the crap injuries: i was at a house party once when a friend ran at me and jumped, expecting that i would just catch her. i didn't, i turned my knee over SIDEWAYS and we both hit the deck. i couldn't walk until the day after.
oh and another: my little brother once slammed the bathroom door on my foot, my big toenail went black and fell off. cheers.
Hotkifing is when you press a hot knife onto a block of hash and get your nose/mouth close and inhale.
Mmmmkay?
excellent
you are very worldly, mr. baker.
Why thank you
Mr Joe.
you also get hotknives
for cutting rope, it stops it fraying aterwards. They have a heating element in the blade.
I was having my
yearly boiler inspection today and opened all the windows to let some fresh air in. About 20 minutes ago a breeze toppled over about 150 tapes and 40 minidiscs which veered out from the wall and hit me in the face when I turned round to see what was happening.
Found some good tapes though when tidying them up, including John Peel ones from 1991 which my family and girlfriend at the time recorded and played to me when I was lying in a coma after crap injuries.
Every cloud has a silver lining
'Scotsman attacked in falling tape hell'
A lot of
the tapes have titles like that cut from newspapers as their titles. Cheery things like Baby Slashed, Stabbed 20 Times, Drunken Youth Hit Mother, Crocodile Shanty Town Weapons Raid, Killer Dwarf Guilty etc. Just found a tape with a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion session from Mark Radcliffe, 2/10/96, huzzah.
Damn
I thought this thread was going to be about injuries suffered whilst crapping.
Mr_JD
goes low brow...Chortle-cum-hardy
I bought lots of pottery
in Chorlton-cum-Hardy from the great pottery shop with a kiln at the back, including a triangular pottery battery-driven clock.
what
colour is it ?
Different colours
with patterns.
How old is it
how much did it cost ?
I've got a nice clock a relative blagged from the video shop she worked in. I dropped it into an electric fire and it has a nice burn across the front of it.
Coma???
Tell more about the coma.
Of course, if you don't want to that's fine. Just intrigued.
I took too much
drink and drugs, fell 30ft onto my head and woke up about 2 weeks later but didn't have a clue about anything for weeks afterwards and probably still don't. I've got about four holes sawn out of my skull for surgery and massive scarring on my head. My right leg nearly fell off as well, calf torn off and had to be stapled back on. I'm available for functions and after dinner speeches.
That!
Is fucking gnarly.
I'll never look at you (your screen name) the same again.
HARDCORE!
I'm actually tempted
to put on a dinner party, give cadd £500 and let him talk about his injuries and stories for two hours. Best show EVER.
Blackpool next year
On holiday in Spain one year I obtained a slight cut on my little toe whilst swimming in the Med. On the way back from holiday 2 days later (travelling 1500 miles by bus) my foot swelled to twice it's normal size, producing agonising pain in the process. I had to be carried on and off the Ferry (did nowt for the ego) and then was carried to the nearest hospital upon my return home. Turned out it had got badly infected foot due to raw sewage in the sea. Another few hours and i would have been on the express train to Amputated Footsville, the doctor said.
I fucking love this thread
On ya, Bamos!!
Thanks bamos
I need to give a speech tomorrow and I'm being paid with a raffle ticket.
I drank some ladyboys
as in the Alan Partridge invented cocktail of a baileys, a gin and tonic and a pint of lager, fast, one after the other.
Then I closed the edge of a big heavy, student accomodation door on my finger, snapping the end off and revealing a shiny white bone. I said to the doctor- will I still be able to play the guitar, and he said, 'not as well', which wasn't true, but it does still hurt when it gets cold, or when I really hammer it on the bass.
Does anyone fancy playing bass in my band? It hurts to do gigs.
the ladyboy has KOed me a number of times.
