sidibear Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Got stung by a bee while lifting a flower pot, not a bad injury in itself but I happen to be allergic. Managed to stagger about 8 feet towards the kitchen before my legs went from under me. Tracey ran to the car to get the epipen out of the glove box and returned with a happy grin that I was still alive. Popped the grey cap and pushed it against my hip, my left leg jerked as the 3/4" needle being propelled at the speed of light buried itself in my hip bone. All the fleshy bits I have on my body and she hits a bone Few hours later I limp in to A&E with an epipen sticking out of my hip, doctor sees it and gives it a healthy tug, and says that immortal phrase, "oh, thats not good". Yep, pulled off the applicator and left the needle behind. One pair of pliers later it was out. And in true "just been shot up with neat adrenaline" I couldn't get to sleep for two days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 :lol: :lol: I witnessed a funny hook incident too, i was using a rig for carp called the beachcaster rig when a pike kept attacking it, so i got out my lure rod, first cast, bam, ***** grabs the lure, just then a bloke known as army john decides hes going to demonstrate to me( a very seasoned pike angler) how to hand land a pike, i suggested he didnt as there was a fling treble but being the anus that he was he went ahead and did it anyway!!! as he attempted to land it the pike shook its head and buried the treble through his thumb, he went white stood there with an angry 8lb pike stuck on his thumb, he then fell to his knees. on inspection the hook had gone thro his thumb and the barb could be seem UNDER his thumb nail. Try as you like we couldnt budge it, and despite getting whiter and whiter he kept saying....dont hurt!!!!! dont hurt!!! Im the end, a rather large brick poophouse called Ian biggs attatched a large pair of forceps to the hook, i held the wrist still and he gave it some kind of karate poke and it came out.......and apart from dead people and anaemics, i have never seen someone go so white....hehehehehehehe. Hee Hee Hee, you just gave me the best laugh Ive had today, But Glad it wasnt under my nail!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glynn Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 ah where to start in my youger days at school i was showing off doing pull ups outside the girls changing room trying my best to impress but opps i slipped put out my arms to stop my head hitting the floor and broke my left wrist my right wrist and my right elbow did not look to cool there! Also while out picking strawberrys one summer i slipped on one of them and broke my ankle. i popped a disc in my back trying to reverse a trailer round a courner i could not do it so i decided to lift the loaded trailer into a better position as i lifted it my back went pop. and the list could go on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 jerico just reminded me of a very recent one, While building our permanent hide on the shoot, i was hammering in some stakes with the back of the axe and it slipped off the stake and whacked my thumb, it swelled but i ignored it and had a great days shooting, it was bruised and stiff but not too bad, and i carried on doing diy for a few days. Then,....doh, I was chipping away the plaster in my stair well and reached as far as i could reach without a ladder. I thought i would tidy up the bottom of the wall but as i hammerred large lump of plaster whacked me on the base of the thumb.....next day it was like a comedy thumb....bloody huge!!! i put up with it for 2 days and then went to work and got it xrayed, there was a break where the plaster had hit it.....and a break that was healing further up where i had hit it with the axe!!! Double whammy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Punky john once threw one of the same type of baiting needle at my head when we were carp fishing....as he ran away i pulled it out of my scalp and threw it at him, it went straight into his buttock...all the way in!!! Boy revenge is sweet...did he yelp. he had the last laugh, I had to cut it so that he could pull down his trousers, revealing a naked ***,....the bleeder didnt wear pants!!! eeeeerrghhhh. Unfortunately when i cut it the needle went right in and disapeared, so he had to bend over my bedcair and i had to push his but in till i could clamp a forcep on it(bearing in mind it was december too!!!!) You can imagine the face of ernie the bailiff as he came around the corner!!!! I did eveantaully manage to pull it out.....funny thing...he never bothered me with a baiting needle again............... This is the same punky john, who while in the philipinnes wearing shorts, decided to pick up a vine snake....result? no pants, ....one snake bite on the nads(slight venom) and a testicle the size of a coconut....hehehhehehehe I'm actually rather impressed that Mungler didn't hang you out to dry with enough ******/****** jokes to last a lifetime!

Dirty Harry Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 I hooked my eye on a broken piece of chain link fence when I was little. A mates dad unhooked me. The wire went behind my left eyeball. I broke my little finger while shooting. Climbed over a fence, slipped and hooked my wedding ring on the gate and snapped the end bone on my little finger. The worst thing was the injury to the nail. They had to pull it off!! Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 The chap I used to work for had an old hedge cutter that kept the blades slowly running at tickover. I used the thing for half a day without a problem, them missed the front handle when I tried to pick it up. It cut the tip of my middle finger off! It still doesn't have good feeling, although it's slowly improving. The funny thing was, the bloke I was working with tried to help me tape it up and couldn't face it. He was panicking like it was his bloody finger, so I had to dress it myself left handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 I had a metal splinter in my finger for 18 months. Every time I pressed it trying to get it out, it went further in. Went out for a night out with the lads. Arrived back, slightly merry and decided it was coming out. Several rums later, I got my trusty Stanley knife and put it under the boiling water from the kettle. Started digging away at my finger. Hurt a bit so more rum. More blood, so under the cold water tap and more rum. Woke up the following morning with blood all over the bed and a big hole in my finger which was slightly sore. Still got the scar 15 years later. Got the splinter out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Went down a steep hill on my mountain bike a month ago, front wheel dug in and got hit in the nads by the seat sending them up to my mouth. Made like a star trying not to come off down the remainder of the hill to the amusement of a crowd of lads at the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
