    scars on my knuckles from punching people in the mouth and hitting their teeth!

    one on my arm from being raked in a rugby match,
    one on my left thigh as above

    one on my stomach, tried to climb over this bridge by my house when i was drunk, fell and landed on some scaffolding, hurt quite a bit

    one big one on the back of my head , when my bro threw a rock at me when we had a fight, the dirty bastard waited till i had my back turned to get me!

    one just above my left eye also in a rugby match landed on somebody's elbow next thing everything is red and im bleeding like a mad thing, didnt hurt though

    my ol fella takes the prize though about 150 stiches in his head from when he crashed his racing bike out training. Car parked in middle of road on a corner at the bottom of a hill. my dad comes down the hill and somebody opens the car door. Cue my dad flying through the air and slapping his head off a bridge wall, lost half his ear and cracked a few vertebre too for good measure..poor fecker!

    :eek:

    We're ALL WINN4Rs!

    but sound waves dad got 150 stiches and his accident has sheer slapstick qualities to it.

    ok i'll start off easy

    1. (3 3/4 inches) Scar running the length of my index finger where i cut it on a pc, nice small slit, bit of blood nothing much, but left a scar, odd I've had worse cuts with no scars.

    2. (3 inches) As I was climbing over a barb wire fence, one foot on the top strand another on the second and I went to push and jump off, i slipped and ended up hanging upside down with the the top strand wedged firmly behind my right knee. I then had to pull myslef up and walk the 2 miles home.

    3. This isnt a scar but when I was 4 I fell of a chair and hit my eye socket of a range/cooker, to this day you can feel a peice of skull about 1/2 inch missing from one eye socket with a similar size scar. The one thing I've often wondered is where did the piece of skull go ?

    4. (8 inches) Two scars along my left arm one top one bottom where my bone came out when I broke it.

    5. (4 inches) I had my hand out the window (i was 12) in the wind as kinds do, when a wasp slammed into my hand at about 50 mph, he was wedged in, I had to go to the doc who then cut my plam open to take the sting out.

    6. (4 inches) This is cheating but it was to get my tonsils out :D

    7. (2 inches) One inch on the top of my right foot and one inch on the bottom of my right foot where I stood on a six inch nail and went straight through my foot and runner.

    8. (24 inches) Medical Operation, I'll just leave it at that.


    So thats about 50 inches of scars in total, plus one permanent molar tooth I lost in a hurling match, and I got knocked out by a hurling ball in the eye once on a different day.
    And this isnt including all of the close calls I've had
    :D

    Got 16 puncture wounds one evening in a mountain bike race when I slipped on wet wood and barbed wire awaited me. I got entwined in it and took 5 mins to pull myself out of it. There was a three inch scar from the last one that I couldn't pull out and had to rip. I finsihed the race in second place and didn't get to the podium because the ambulance was in the way.

    I have a burn scar about 2.5 - 3 inches wide, probably about the same size/shape as an egg on my chest! It would be cool to say i got it in some heroic action but no...i was a very adventerous kid and at the tender age of 1 i knew i would be a tea totaller when i was older so i went for my first cup of tea which was on the counter, towering above me... eh.. i still managed to reach it, pull it down and all over me... and at about a year old that kind of thing burns!!

    Apart from that i have a little one on my shin where i slipped on a pair of wodden stairs of all things and that is still there years later... stoopid stairs!!
