    Anyone else ever done anything really daft?

    I was trying to install a satellite system for a work colleague on Tuesday.

    Instead of accessing a concrete ledge (which was in a perfect position to mount the dish) by ladder, I decided to jump from my friends verandah. Epic Fail.

    Two days in Lincoln County Hospital  with a broken Tibia for me....4 different casts fitted and 6 months of rehab to come.

    And I was so hungry on Tuesday night in the hospital that I even ate a tuna sandwich.

    Tell us all about your self-inflicted injuries!!!

    Gas and Air and the Puzzle Page in the Daily Mirror for the win!!

    When I was 9 I managed to break my arm by running straight into the corner of a brick wall at school. From that moment on I fully understood why they teach you to look up when playing football!

    Talking of epic fails, I laughed so hard when I saw this. Serves him right imo.

    Also aged about 9 or 10. Went conkering with my cousins, one of whom, Adrian decided that his dads small axe would be ideal for getting those pesky conkers off the trees. As you all know the best way to get them is to throw something at them to knock them off above your head. Adrian did this and i'll let you guess the result. Anyway, he still has a metal plate in his skull!!!!!!

    On my holiday in the summer in Menorca, I decided to join in fiesta season festivities by trying to touch rearing horses on the heart, one landed on my bare foot, ruined half my hols and I had to have 2 weeks off work.
    I was smashed obv

    Years ago, was on my may home with couple of mates, saw a massive camper van outside this club, one of those with the ladder on the back, I couldnt resist, climbed up and started dancing on the roof to the music comin from the club.  The owner came out, big massive guy, so I decided to jump off, landed in a crumpled heap, had to be carried home.  Had about 3 weeks off for that one.  Smashed again obv.

    I stumbled out of a lapdancing club once, I dunno where my legs went but my face met a kerb, hospital job, 11 stitches above my eye.  Smashed again obv

    I once got stung on my you know wot by a wasp as well.  That smarted a touch

    Let me guess. You left a lapdancing club smashed, spotted a wasp's nest and started throwing some shapes next to it with your pants down?

    Real wasp probably saw what it thought was another wasp and said to itself "I'm having a bit of that!", before realising it's mistake...

    Ironic, really. He worked in television his whole life, and died getting an aerial off a roof. So in the end, it was television that killed him.

    At the age of 58 I developed ''sleepwalking''

    3am I went from the top to the bottom of the stairs. Was unconscious for about 10 minutes according to my wife, who was in the dining room checking the insurance policies when I finally recovered consciousness.

    Blue lights and paramedics at 3am - neighbours all reckoned I was drunk, those that know us better reckon I was pushed - 3 broken ribs, nasty knock on the head, serious damage to front teeth and bruised from head to foot.

    We now have child-gates on the bedroom door and at the top of the stairs  :o)


    Get well soon Emily
