I was once hit in the face by a canoe paddle.... admittedly I was holding it at the time

While canoeing down a snow-covered hill, reasonably out of control, I narrowly missed a tree..... only to realise that the paddle did not. Nearly broke my fuggin nose.

What nonsense have you been up to that hasn't gone entirely to plan?

I was sat at a bench soldering whilst drinking a cup of coffee.

I went to put the iron back in the holder & heard this 'fizzle'.

I thought 'Odd...It has never done that before.'

Yep, I dipped it in me coffee.....

Made the coffee taste funny! :burp:

For the next fortnight every time I soldered, I got this beautiful aroma of roast coffee!

Nige. :smoke:

Had a piano fall on my head. Does that count?

Restoring a theatre to the condition it ws in when we'd taken it over for a week, involved returning the baby grand from the stage to the orchestra pit.

It slipped. It was loud

Smashed a lens on my glasses and gave me a nose bleed. So, unlucky on one count, very lucky on another . . .

Oh and I set fire to myself at a party

In the kitchen, leaning on the towel rail of their Arga/range cooker thing, sipping beer . . . smoky smell . . . look around, nothing to see.

Minutes later there was real smoke. My jacket was laying over the top of the [hot] cooker

let´s see.....

taping up the handle of a hammer and pulling the tape away from the hammer in front of me to break it instead of the other way round. hit myself in the teeth with the hammer.

slinging a 4ft crowbar up onto my shoulder 7 dwarves stylee, forgetting about the hooked bit which opened my eyebrow quite nicely.

cutting notches in wooden tent pegs with a buck knife whilst under the influence of some VERY good acid. slip - fuck that was close, nearly cut my thumb, carry on cutting again, slip - FUCKING OUCH - buck knife splits the top of my thumb and the thumbnail and stops on the bone. california sunrise and sharp impliments does not mix well, kids!

years ago while at school I managed to distract a mate as we were walking through town, I let the distraction stop just in time for him to face forward and break his nose on the lampost as he walked into it.

around the same time I (for some 'god knows what' reason) decided to open my new pocket knife with the sharp edge of the blade against the palm of my hand....... still have the scar.

I think you might be one of those people that ought to go around wearing bubblewrap.

Was just left home, heading down to the A2. A kid runs out after a football without looking. Had to brake a bit, but it was far enough away that it wasn't a real drama. As I passed, I turned towards him and shouted "Next time, LOOK!" pointing my fingers at my eyes.

At which point I hit the kerb, left the bike, flew across the pavement and bounced off some iron railings (which made a horrible plink sort of noise when I hit 'em). Got a ride in an ambulance with a neck brace, a talking to by the old bill and a broken wrist. Which meant I couldn't go on the 3 month trip to Australia I had been planning, 'cos I couldn't earn the money required.

Oh how I laughed

Barbed fish hook through my nose - never fly fishing with that bloke again

could have been alot worse though, just remember thinking "what the hell is that whistling noise" and then my nose trying to separate from my face as he continued the cast, took a couple of seconds to realise what the hell had happened

Nemesis was swift that time.

you ain't seen the size of me! - we were only after trout, not a nuclear sub!

words and then beer were exchanged - couldn't believe how tough it was to cut through the hook, the barb was doing its job well - what the hell are they made of?

A fair compromise.....

That is what mates are for!

I fell asleep on the living room floor after a few tins,with my arms underneath me. When I woke and pushed my arms out press up style to get up, I realised my arms were both dead and I face bombed the floor, nose first. There's a nice little kink in my nose now

Little sister bugged me to carry her on my shoulders (many,many moons ago), so I did, she slipped and rammed a key up my nose, wow what a nose bleed I had. Dr enjoyed telling me I could have been killed

Was getting central heating in a few weeks back. Forgot to tell my mate the floorboards were up and he went through to downstairs flat.

That same week i threw my phone off the table in a rage. it bounced and smashed the TV id spent £500 on 3 weeks before. I took it back though and told them it doesnt work and got a refund

When I was in my teens I bent down to switch off the radio in my room. Only to get stabbed right up the shnozz by the aerial.

Cue claret.

Had a weak bit up that nostril ever since that occasionally lets go. Bleah.

When i was a nipper i was walking along the street with maw and Da. I was taking a drink out a can looking up. I didnt see the ballard in front of me. I hit it right at ball level and sort of tilted over it with my feet in the air and face heading towards ground . I still had my can in my mouth and managed to burst my mouth open.

When I was about five, I was caught stealing some cookies or something and ran upstairs. Only I never made it up the stairs due to knocking myself out on the banister and splitting my head open. I only remember being in the hospital after that, where they tied my hair in a knot, instead of stitches.
Nice scar though :smoke:

During a rather pointless and naturally beer-fueled game of "how much can you lift with one arm on a barbell" I stood too close to the competitor-of-the-moment as he swung the thing about in a vain effort to hoist it upwards. I got the barbell in the mouth and now have a scar on my lip as a reminder.
