    We saw a customer in work today... Had two casts on, one on each arm, poor guy!
    Anyway, got to talking about bone breakages etc and all apart from myself had broken an arm, wrist etc over the years. I've never had a breakage, and I remember being raged with jealousy when people in school came in and got their casts graffiti-ed (Or whatever you call it) :D

    loads of people have never broken anything. I've never broken anything, I don't feel special.

    Broke a few hymens in my time though, oh boy

    Couple of fingers and ribs, but main bones no.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I don't feel special either but i got, 'Ah, you must've when you were a child' etc....

    You say that now, but you'll be in a nightclub at the weekend and a fat man will push you over... or that was just me?

    Seriously though you've jinxed it now!

    see what you can achieve when you apply yourself.

    congratulations to you.

    Almost broke my nose as a kid

    Suspected broken scaphoid couple of years ago, Dr didn't order the precautionary cast and diagnosed tendon and ligament damage instead. Wouldn't have minded a cast for a week, it would have looked alot cooler than the splinting and bandages applied instead.

    It seems to be a new yearly thing for me. Broke my ankle last year and the same weekend a year later i broke my wrist. Will probably be my head in Aug next year.

    Also broke my other ankle, collarbone, few ribs and toes when i was younger.

    I've fractured my rib playing rugby when I was about 13. Otherwise, just a couple of wrenched ankles/wrists.

    I've never broken a bone either....when I was having a baby I got the epidural and it took the anesthetist nearly an hour to get the needle into my back, he said he'd never came across bones as hard as mine, I cursed all the milk I drank for my whole life at that point :mad:

    I was in a pretty bad crash a few years ago, I was the passenger and I tend to stupidly sit with my legs crossed in the car so one of my legs got a pretty terrible bang, my whole leg was bruised but they x-rayed it and said it was fine, it was only when the swelling went down a couple of weeks later that I realised the bone felt completely misshapen, you can't see it but if you feel it it's like there's no bone there because it's been pushed back so far.
