I took a ridiculous amount of Diazepam and drink, that resulted in a tumble head first down the stairs.

I went out one Thursday night in Edinburgh and after taking advantage of some cheap drink offer in Hive, a friend and I decided to walk along to McDonald's on Princes Street. I had to pee pretty badly so thought, no problem, let me just hop the fence into Princes Street Gardens, piss, and jump back over. Ended up briefly impaling my foot on a spike. Six stitches, leaving the outside of Carphone Warehouse looking like a murder scene and paid sick leave over Christmas and New Year was the result. I was going to abide by the P&B rules of pics or GTF but not sure how much people would want to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re not willing to assist, get yourself on the phone to anyone of them no win no fee cowboys and take them for damages. Back on topic.

Wee trip to Royal London and an afternoon off work with concussion wasn't too bad. How the f**k do you "misjudge getting in" and close the car door on your own head?

Was sitting in the ERI hooked up to some monitor thing. A doctor came in with some med students, looked at my notes (ignoring me the whole time) and said “we have to watch these ones. We had one in like this last week who seemed fine after a shock then dropped dead a couple of hours later” before shuffling out the room. Cheers doc.

Bert Raccoon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Last summer I broke my heel bone after jumping a fence to fetch a football. Three months off work and it's still pretty much fucked six months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I was playing golf at a tournament in Ayrshire as a junior and was teeing off on a par three when I heard a whizzing noise and all of a sudden was hit by a titleist pro 90 on the left temple. Knocked out completely and couldnt finish my round, had to go for an MRI. No fucker claimed that ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think I've been lucky with injuries- the worst I had was going to let the cat out, tripping over the wee fud and dislocating my shoulder. Two weeks of not sleeping probably due to pain followed by six months of physio wasn't fun but I got to skive work. Maybe I could have spun it out a bit more- it was my right shoulder I dislocated and I don't think the work realised I'm left handed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 10 hours ago, Shandon Par said: Chased and bitten by a Alsatian. He was South African. Come on now, make up your mind. Where was he from? My story is that a group of friends and I were nearly home after a very pleasant bike ride. Rolling down a long hill, doing maybe 30 mph or so, my front wheel collapsed without warning and I went down through the bike frame. Being attached to the pedals via the toe clips, I then somersaulted over and slid for about 20 yards leaving the best part of 1/2 a stone's worth of skin on the ground. I ended up looking like a pile of raw mince. The heid E.R. nursey said it was the worst injuries she'd seen on someone who hadn't broken a bone. I was there for almost four hours while a team of Lisa Cuddys wielding sandpaper and salt scrubbed the gravel out of me. By the time they let my friends take me home, I was covered in more bandages than an Egyptian Mummy with a bandage fetish. And the pain...oh fucking hell, the pain. I think I would rather watch a show about the Kardashians than go through that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just presumed it was a motorbike crash when seeing the damage. Even with a good scrub you might get bits of road appearing for a while yet.
