Ive got a nasty bout of flu at the moment, as does a wedding photographer client of mine. No big deal, its only flu.

We were talking (as you do ) about the implications of what would happen if, on a wedding shoot, he developed a case of the runs. You cant just apologise to the bride and groom, pack your bags and go home. Its their big day, afterall.

What are the worst 'predicaments' you've found yourself in, or not been able to get yourself out of. Health, or otherwise...

having my clothes, bag and car keys stolen while having a shower at the gym - rather awkward to sort out.

Ok maybe not the worst ever but it is recent so still in my mind. Went to collect my kids from Nursery the other day, step out of car in a funny way and trousers rip around the seam at the crotch in quite a big way (yes I am dieting thank you ). Nursery closes in 5 minutes and I have no time to get home to change and I obviously have to to get my children. No choice but to stroll in, room filled with young children and their parents, grab daughter and place her strategicly in front of me and keep my back towards the walls.

Think they thought I was a bit odd to say the least.

Wasn't there a Mr. Bean episode along those lines?

that might be the episode where his trunks come off, just as the whistle blows and the pool is evacuated, and a kid picks up and walks said trunks....

That beach didn't get its blue flag that year then.

well I had to go to woman in reception dressed in a towel and a shirt ( they missed the shirt ) - and ask to "phone a friend" - who came round with a spare house key.

The good news was the rather dim scrote who broke into my BMW left his finger prints on some photos ....... and went to prison

he was arrested wearing my clothes

Do not think any beach in Norfolk got a blue flag that year.

Walking into the tiny, dimly lit steam room at my (ex) gym to be confronted by 5 young males and no females! To say I felt awkward is an understatement...

Right now though, I'm in a spot of bother. Accidentally cut the tendons in one of my fingers and am effectively out of action for 8-12 weeks.

Dozing naked in the sauna at my old gym, naked as the day I was sporned, eventually hearing a giggle and opening my eyes to find three middle aged women sitting beside me grinning from ear to ear. It was ladies only night and I'd forgotten!!!

Also getting into a fight with a sneak thief in a hotel in Indonesia, chasing her out the room, totally naked, only to find the door had slammed shut behind me. Ever tried tearing carpet up to wrap around yourself in order to go visit reception for a spare key? it don't half itch

My bike broke down in Nice one year, unfixable, wiring torched. So I hitch hiked back to the UK, joined the RAC, hitched back down to Nice, waited two days, called RAC up and got flown home, bike arrived two weeks later on a trailor Sneaky huh?

i fell down a man hole cover once and ripped a massive hole in my trousers right over the crotch area and suffered a nasty cut to my thigh. must have looked like a bomb blast victim walking home! bloody rusty man hole cover. luckily i managed to sue the council £250 for that.
was also rather embarrasing having my upper thigh photographed and sent off to some compo office somewhere for people to ogle at.

Started getting that 'bubble guts' feeling on my way to start my first job a few years back. Luckily there was a greasy spoon within 'run like hell' distance otherwise I really would have sh*t myself!

About 20 years ago, I went to the fun fair with my girlfriend.

She was a slim girl with curly blonde hair.

We were in an interminable queue for some rollercoaster or other.

I was in a world of my own, and absentmindedly put my arm around the waist of the girl next to me and affectionately gave her arse a good squeeze.

It was at this point I realised that my girlfriend had just nipped to the ladies and that the slim blonde I was molesting was a complete stranger.

Fortunately both girls saw the funny side of the situation.

If it happened today, I expect that I'd be prosecuted for sexual assault and sentenced to a three year rehabilitation order with a condition to comply with a programme of treatment and be ordered to sign the sex offenders register for five years.
