Whats the most you have ever had, and were they intentional or, you know, not quite legitimate?

Im on day 6 so far, as i cant drive with my injury.
I burnt my thumb, and now its blistered and gone septic, so im on a really strong dose of penicillin to cure it. The doctor reckons its going to be at least another three days though frown
Im only just back in the UK, and have recently started a new job, so i dont want my employers thinking im taking the piss!! Luckily (i guess!) there is evidence a plenty in the form of a large bandage over my thumb!



So, whats the longest for you?

No, not manual labour, but the size of the dressing required for my thumb means i wouldnt be insured as its not safe!

I had my head shot off by a sniper once.

Took a couple of aspirin and was back at work the next day.

Have you never heard of public transport?
Yes, but like most decent folk, would prefer not to use it- It involves an hours journey, and again, not all that practical with a sling AND a laptop bag

Luftwaffe - What is your job?
He's a thumb-wrestler.
roflroflrofl

I got knocked off my bike on the way to work once. I took a bit of "time off" while the ambulance patched me up at the side of the road and then walked the rest of the way. Days off with illness? What's that?

Oh and a burnt thumb? fking gheyer! laugh
Have you ever actually been burnt?
Has anyone- and i mean not just said they have, but actually have been burnt?
Its a damn site more serious than people make out, it hurts like you cannot believe, and has more chance than virtually any other injury of going septic, and that can lead to further problems, hence its best to air on the side of caution.
And no, im not a thumn wrestler, im in property developement
