    btw, foot update: Peas aren't bringing the swelling down, and there's some rather magnificent bruising just starting to appear.

    Try taking something you can get from heath shops called Rhus-Tox, all natural and brings out bruising :D

    btw.... *ahem* pictures.... ;)

    Just wondering, as I'm laid up here in the age old male tradition of wearing a bag of frozen peas on my foot!
    Seems in my ever more pathetic desire to stay young and fit, I have probably broken a bone, somewhere just between the ball of my foot and my big toe.
    It's a strange kind of pain, like a dull ache, and throbbing....ouchie!

    I broke my toe last night too (snap!). Bashed it really hard against the corner of my sofa and this morning its completely black and feels like its gonna fall off :o

    well for starters i thought we could do a wheelie off those white cliffs at Dover? and then after a spot of lunch we'll cycle through Kosovo and try and hit all the land mines... nothing to strenuous mind... i'm still recovering from the time we went for a game of darts :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    we could even camp out? i've made a mattress for you out of broken glass and i took the time to glue even smaller bits of glass onto the broken glass... your sleeping bag is made of scorpions i sellotaped together.

    That's spooky. You got peas? My toe is just starting to discolour, it's ok as long as I don't touch it or try and move it, or put it to the floor. I tried to put my shoe on earlier......bad move!

    Hey let's be honest, what the mattress is made of is the last concern of any poor soul who joins you on one. :p

    Don't forget the morning. Have you not prepared a shower of vinegar with some salt for shampoo?

    * 4 ribs - Fell out of a tree
    * Both wrists 4 times each - Xcountry and downhill mountain biking
    * Left knee - Snowboarding
    * Chipped my left elbow - Mountain Biking
    * Middle, ring and pinky fingers on right hand - Pissed
    * Ring knuckle on right hand - Punched a table
    * Fractured my skull - Mountain Biking

    Somehow i've never broken any bones. I don't know how, as I was very accident prone as a child. I used to fall off my bike a lot as a kid. I think the best time was when we were at Center Parcs, and I hit a bollard with my bike, flew over the handle bars and landed in a giant green wheelie bin. My family thought it was so funny that they rode off and left me, and I can't have been more than about 8...I didn't even know which challet was ours!

    Bastards. :rolleyes:

    No, believe it or not I once broke my arm playing football! Unlike this one here, there was no mistaking it, the bone just above my wrist was clearly snapped, you could see it pointing the wrong way under the skin.

    okay i wasn't playing football but I got thrown from a horse when i was 8 and the same thing happened to my right wrist and there certainly wasn't any cause for "I wonder if it's broken?" it was much too obvious. the 25 mile ride to the hospital was a total owie because the first 4 miles was on a really bumpy dirt road. 2 months in a cast. though being right-handed it meant no school work for the first six weeks of third grade :)

    when i was 10 I broke my middle and ring fingers on my right hand playing soccer at school. this huge kid ran smack into me bending my fingers backward and they went *snap*


    when i was 13 i broke my thumb on my left hand. another cast


    as an adult I got a cracked rib and a broken ear-drum via the fist of an abusive jerk


    I've broken my toes probably four of five times i can't even remember how many times







    so it seems that i've haven't had it too bad at all. sounds like some of ya'll shouldn't ever leave your house ;)

    Oh I saw that mag once, trust me it's not worthy of a place in there! It's nothing to see really, just a slightly larger than it's partner big toe, and bruising just starting to show. I've had worse.
    Well, unless he's taking the piss, and I don't think he is cos I don't think I told him I wrote in. Well, 2 months back there was a letter from some guy saying how he was once at a small club gig by Robert Plant in Wales a few years back, and some drunk lad had jumped on the stage between encores and stole Planty's 4 pack of Brains beer. Well, it was a mate of mine, I put him up to it, we shared the beer out..so i just emailed the editor about it.
