yes nice to get you own back,my older brother was always a bully.

Bugger it, I'll upload a pic, can't be as gruesome as kitchenman's finger

Adjusted the suppressor cap on a running 350YPVS with wet gloves on.............fell off, much to the amusement of passers-by

Got the kickstart of a KMX125 stuck up the inside of my right trouser leg...........fell off, much to the amusement of passers-by

Got the front wheel of my sons BMX stuck in a drain while showing off....fell off, much to the amusement of passers-by

Got myself caught between my game bag and an electric fence whilst shooting, leading to the site being renamed 'Nutcracker Wood'

And many, many more.......................................

The guys at the plastics hospital spent 6 hours trying to join up the plumbing pipes too small, they could not re-establish blood supply.

Hospital was Broomfield in Chelmsford, all staff bar one were foreign, surgeons looked/sounded like Arabs, saw all the work on huge flat screen monitor, service was 5 star plus.

Had my own en-suite room, nothing was too much for them. 3 days.

I do not understand people knocking NHS, a few months before I was in Southend hospital with gastritis, brought on by gall stones, also 5 star plus, perhaps I am lucky living in Essex, either way my experience with NHS is nothing but excellent.

You would still be on a waiting list around here,for such a small scratch.I hope you had good pain relief.
