But chicks dig scars...
Almost certainly not true

I remember hearing that chicks dig facial scars on a bloke (not a huge disfiguring one though) and want to get jiggy with them, but not get into a long term relationship with them.
i.e. if you have a facial scar you'll be the one night stand king, but you'll not be getting married. That could explain why my bed is about to collapse (all of those notches) and why I'm not married.

I have a small scar on my upper lip.

Really? I didn't notice.

Maybe I was too far away. Y'know, being short and all.

I think boots or superdrugs have gel patches for road rash type injuries - ask at the counter.

The patches are called Hydrocolloid dressings. I've used the Savlon ones and they are very good. They were recommended to me by a paramedic friend.

Plus one on this. I've used these a couple of times. After two weeks there was no trace of the damage aside from a slight redness which itself disappeared after a couple more weeks leaving no scar whatsoever. At the same time, the small scuffs on my knee I'd not bothered with treating were still scabs. So ignore the nonsense about leaving them uncovered - hydrocolloid dressings are great!

Yeah. Its hardly noticable now, but when the accident happened (30 years ago) the scar is probably the same size but my head is much bigger now so it is proportionally smaller.

I wonder if my sister still has the stiches from my accident saved? Yes, she is weird.

That made me laugh!!!! Not sure if it was supposed to though :shock:

I'm glad my horrible disfigurement brought a smile to your face!

I'm joking, its hardly noticable now and Rick will testify to. I'm glad I never had any kind of hang-ups about having a facial scar. The only downside of it was when there was a bulge on my lip as well and I'd occassionally bite it when biting an apple or similar. That really hurt.

Shoulder injuries take ages to heal

Been a couple of weeks now since I fell off, cuts & bruises almost cleared up and been cycling since middle of last week and back playing footy again but shoulder (right one in particular) is still pretty painful, even just putting on jacket on a morning or picking up my screaming 18 month old!

I guess you HAD to take that picture topless

OF course he did. Great photo... not enough of this kind of thing here if you ask me. Can someone start the ball rolling with a 'me topless' thread...? Rick, do the honours mate...

I've seen "girls in lycra shorts" and "girls in knitwear" over on Cake Stop. I may even have enjoyed them. It would be really funny to start a topless injury thread for this sort of thing over there. I can just imagine the indignation.
Somewhere I've got a picture of me black and blue from the waist to nipple high across my whole left side from when I broke my ribs a couple of years back.
That's enough to upset anybody.

Come on then... Let's see it!

I have some road rash on my arse, want to see that too?

Yep

6 days later , the scab is drying out from mine on a roundabout coincidentally when a highways gritting lorry was waiting to come on , best guess for mine was diesel spillage.
off to try it out tomorrow , the sat indoors doing some pretend pedalling suggests it should be ok , proof will be in the pudding !!
enjoy the next ride when your out, first big off for me was about 2 on a trike descending a kerb on a trike which led to a visit o hospital and a plaster , I put that down to being at the milk race as it was when I was 2 weeks old !

Get well soon , rubber side down !!

pfft. Doesn't seem to be helping me.

Mind you, I'm a bit of an ugly sod, interminably dull, and a bit of git.

Still, I've got facial scars, so there's hope, eh?

My body is held together with scar tissue. But I'm also in my.early forties and married, what a waste of pain.
