Funeral. Not the actual thing but I got sick the night before. I was really young at the time. Another time I got a nose bleed in a tech exam. It was either a Christmas test or a mock. I was okay though, just a bit of blood on the sheets.

This is more of an injury than getting sick but a few months ago my friend was doing his woodwork practical for the Leaving Cert. He was cutting something in . . . some kind of saw (I wasn't there and I didn't do woodwork) and it sliced a centimetre or two into his index finger. Apparently blood went everywhere and he went kind of woozy for a minute. Still, fifteen minutes later, he went back in and finished his practical.

Ages back, bad bad dose of food poinsoning the very day I was due to start my first ever real job. I was that bad I couldn't even crawl to the phone to make my apologies. When I got on to the guy a few dyas later, he was really good about it and I never missed a night (bar work) after that...

heh. i did something similar.
inter cert woodwork practical, i cut myself 4 times with 4 different tools, including a plane. damn right handed tools.

i also threw up on the steps of a very posh Dublin hotel , then got on a coach, threw up on a seat, moved across to the opposite and watched as some dude sat on my puke. when he got up, the half of a peach that came up was gone. that side of the family hasn't spoken to me since.
i think that's one of the main reasons it's illegal to drink when you're 15.

When I was doing my Leaving Cert I came down with a nasty migrane the morning of HL Maths paper two. After about an hour I had to go out for half an hour to be sick before finishing the paper.

I threw up on a bus once while travelling from Listowel to Shannon. It happened literally as the driver was pulling into the bus station in Limerick. So I had to clean myself up in the toilets and then get my connection to Shannon. I was so embarrassed.

Some great stories!

I was on a Dublin Bus once, coming into town with some friends (We were heading out) and we were standing at the front waiting to get off. Suddenly some pissed guy at the back of the bus in the middle seat leans forward and starts puking all over the floor, it was horrible as it flowed down the bus towards us! Luckily we got to our stop and jumped off before it reached us!
Poor guy!

I don't get too sick that often, I've never had the flu

Mossy Monk · 05-09-2006 09:13PM

most inappropriate time was New Years Eve a few years ago when i got flu. in bed for a week :mad:

Got a nasty bout of Strep throat when I was sixteen two days before christmas.....really in very bad shape my grandmother in her "infinite wisdom" told me to take some of her antibiotics cause she had similar infection....started to feel better by christmas day...but of course wasnt i allowed to have one bottle of westcoast cooler...by lunch time my parents were having to scrape me off the ceiling. Not exactly one of my crowning moments!!

Anyway also got a dose of Bejing Flue about 15 years ago and my god did I suffer...really was to this day the worst illness Iv ever had....I really thought I was gonna need hospitalisation it was that bad. The result was that now Im the biggest cynic when people try telling me theyhave Flu

If you have the Flu your bed ridden for the best part of a week at least...its a serious illness and no amout of lemsips or uniflu is gonna make you feel weel enough to go to a debs.

Tall ships last year in Waterford.

Got a really bad dose of Salmonella, and had to work...I was not in a healthy state...

Myself and my girlfriend both had food poisoning the night of her prom. Thankfully it didn't kick in until after we'd gotten back to her house, but still lousy timing

A mate of mine went to the cinema with a girl out in Blanchardstown. Since the bus was going to be a while they decided to go to the pub for a drink and wait for it there. That was grand, got on the bus and suddenly he doesn't feel so good (A Guinness followed by vodka he said). He tells her he's going to puke and she thinks quick, whips the clothes out of the shopping bag and hands it to him just in time. Only thing was it was a paper bag so it could only take so much before it went all soggy and broke. He said he didn't care by this point and continued puking through the bag and onto the floor.

Anyone who's got the bus from Lucan to Blanch knows its (or was) only a small minibus so it wasn't long before the vomit rolled around and stank up the whole bus. She then began to feel sick....

A few years back Friends planned a road trip to a really fine restaurant.

2 hours before we were supposed to go, I threw my back out. Worst pain imaginable!

They gave me Vikodin pain killers thinking that would ease the pain enough for me to go. Ya right! I'd have drooled in my food as spiked as I was! I just stayed home in severe pain until I could get to a Chiropractor the next day.

I dont think i've ever had the flu either, though saying that i've probably tempted fate and will now get it as my roommate has it!

Another good bus story....
My cousin and her friend were on a Bus Eireann bus and her friend wasnt feeling the best (good night out the night before I believe). Anyway they had to get off the bus to transfer onto another one, but unfortunately as my cousin was stepping off the bus, her friend, who was behind her, finally couldn't hold it any longer... she puked all down my cousins back! She didn't even get a chance to clean off as they had to run and get the other bus!
Im glad I dont have any stories of this sorta thing happenin to me personally!!

Fajitas! · 06-09-2006 08:28AM

Funny stories that I've seen eh?

I think it's called Funderland or something like that? Comes to Dublin every Winter?

There's a rollercoaster in that, pretty long considering it's indoors. Our class used to get brought up there from 1st-3rd year.

One of our highlights was soon after walking in the door, seeing a stream of vomit coming from this ride, hilarious! Considering that it had a kinda 'sprinkler' effect...

tbh · 06-09-2006 08:44AM

I got sick 30 mins into a 6.5 hr flight, and was throwing up (and ..ahem.. down) every 15 mins or so till we landed.

horrible....and not just for me
