Now that is the funniest thing I've read of quite awhile - bringing tears to my eyes.

BR I don't think anyone will be able to top that!! Reminds me of the time I tried to take my contact lenses out after being at work chopping chillies all day...
Ah Red the stories and lengths you'll go to to explain your strange proclivities when caught!!! That made me and Nursey chuckle. She say's that she'll heard equally imaginative stories when she worked A&E many moons ago.
Cheers for posting Sir.

That's one hell of a mishap! One of the worst possible!
I'm glad I'm not into spicy food!
Got me thinking about my work life, I'm a 52 year old self employed plumber.
1.Compound fracture to my left leg at 17, four months in a full length cast.
2.Threw frozen steak onto BBQ plate that had sunk with age holding oil, burnt chest, neck, and shoulder. Six weeks off work.
3.Working in a trench reached up and pulled a container of priming fluid into my face. Eyes bandaged for two days. Scared the crap out of me thinking I lost my sight.
4.Got a DVT after lung surgery, on both Clexane and Heprian to try and get levels right. I jump into a small trench, and over the next couple of hours a Hematoma bigger than my clenched fist grows on the same shin I broke as a 17 year old. Ended up in hospital for five days, they cut it open and left it. Fourth day they stitched me up and I went up to Cape York for four weeks camping
5.Stepped out of a doorway just as my wife walks in front of it. I go sideways so as not to collect her, tear the ligaments at my ankle. Four weeks off work
6.125mm hole saw in a right angle chuck drill, got a bit cocky and it grabbed. As it kicked back it ran across my shirt, the cut into my forearm. 19 stitches, but VERY lucky I missed all the tendons ect and when it was held open to clean the wound I had skipped over the top of the vein as well. Not bad, back at work two days later.
7.Hernia operation on a Thursday, went back to work Monday. Never again, f@%! that hurts. One of four over the years
8.Digging a manhole by hand got to about four feet deep, when the six foot crow bar leaning on the fence fell and collected my head. Five stitches, back at work following day.
9.Chopping kindling after dark without a sissy stick, stuck hatchet in bottom of pointing finger (twice).
10.Numerous cuts over the years, a bit of toilet paper and wrap it in duct tap until I get home.
11.Blew up a coffee shop, but we walked away from that no injuries.
Bungie I take my hat of to you I thought I had some injuries over the years but that is one hell of a list. Please tell me you've now taken out some life insurance.........😉👍

Hi Cameron,
Well I haven't managed to get near a scanner to get a copy if my implant up but I did finally get 'round to taking a picture of the scar on my hip off of my phone. The clips are now out and it's healing brilliantly.
So here's the latest addition to my Frankenstein's Monster outfit.

Like i have said before mate, the more i find out the more amazed i am, you would even beat richard dreyfuss, roy scheider and robert shaw in the scar competition they have in the movie jaws by a mile, a mile of scarring that is
Oh I would prefer to be the male lead in Lethal Weapon 3 and do the scar competition with Rene Russo
She's much sexier that the cast of Jaws.To be fair though I think this one will heal to almost nothing they did such a good job. Very neat work, internal sutures and super glue did a lot of the holding.
I have over 12 inches of scaring on my front torso and you woop me in the scar comp, again not as nice as Rene Russo flashing her bits at all, if only that had been a better movie i might have remembered it, that scene from Jaws is one of my all time favourite movie moments when Shaw gets all dramatic about the sinking of the SS Indianapolis

John you look so civil in your pictures, street fighting? I'm glad to say i left all that behind in my youth apart from the occasional clash with idiots in the area i live defending myself, like yourself it has left permanent reminders on the vessel
A list in a half!
And with the fight injuries, you forgot to add 'should've seen him.....'

Unfortunately that was not always the case...
But I was young and foolish then
