Big Sis did similar when she was a young teenager - she had the flu so she got some sewing out to cheer herself up. The needle went straight through her finger and I had to wind the needle up to release her.
Whereas I put a garden fork straight through my big toe and stapled myself to the lawn.
Good job I am not accident prone
When I were a bit of a lad in 1948 I did the same whilst digging for ragworm in Sandbanks Poole, didn`t feel a thihg for about ten minutes when I was on the back of a mates motorbike going to Poole Hospital.
I got halfway through the second page and couldn't read anymore , my toes were curling at the thoughts...Ow ow ow!!!
As for that nasty fungal nail infection ad, I screamed at the telly everytime that came on..Nasty as fcuk!!!
Yes, the Japanese used to ram splints of wood down POW's toenails, then set light to them. They also used to strap freshly cooked boiled eggs under peoples' armpits.
Sorry if anyone's eating whilst reading this!
my goodness...i didn't realise my misfortune would cause so much discussion! it didn't hurt; as i knelt on the floor i caught it gently on the carpet and just felt it schloop away from the nail bed. it hung off initially and i knocked it while investigating and it fell off!!! i wouldn't mind...but i think i have enough wrong with me and i'm only 35. bits should not just drop off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i do think i had an infection, tho and they are always covered in about 20 layers of nail polish...i probably suffocated it to death! x
oh for the love of all that's holy lcg- my tummy had just gone back to normal!! I shall now be having nightmares following this particular sentance.
"felt it schloop away from the nail bed. it hung off initially and i knocked it while investigating and it fell off!!!"
Once again, im utterly gobsmacked no one else thinks this is the stuff of horror movies, you're all accepting this as perfectly normal! What is wrong with you all????
honest, boo...i d scream when i realised what happened, but it was more fear than anything. then...i just got really curious and started playing with it! (can anyone else now hear boo vomiting into her magazine rack?). whoever said it was fun earlier in this thread was right. to give you your dues, tho boo, it still is a pretty gross thing to unexpectedly happen on a wednesday afternoon! x
