Aside from being far too old for drunken shenanigans I woke-up with this in my head on Saturday

    Ouch! Do you remember how that happened? You get stitches?

    I vaguely remember becoming entangled with a chair-leg after an uncivilised dinner. Luckily it was in a private room so I only embarassed myself in front of people I know that will constantly remind me of this for years to come.

    For some unknown reason I decided that a bit of a sit-down and some tissues would sort me out. After that the rest of the night is a bit of a blur. Stupid is as stupid does I suppose.

    Good man! Chicks dig scars! Have to admit my body is a tapestry of similar marks (but fewer with advancing years......)

    Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    Yes, it's a worry. Heads bleed a lot as well so that should have made quite a mess. I presume you got as much sympathy as I tend to after similar stupidity.
    Anyway, hope it heals fast. Same for the inevitable extra strength hangover. You have my sympathy at least.
    Simon may be right about chicks digging scars. They may be less impressed when they hear all of the stupid ways in which I got mine.
  • Ouch. Hope that heals fast.

    If it makes you feel any better, I incurred a similar injury aged 10 playing striker.

    I'd rather not go into the embarrassing story behind this injury; suffice to say that it would scarcely have been have been worse if I had been wearing a tie like the kid on the box. :oops:
    Nobody told me we had a communication problem
