    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.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    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!

    And I'm only 22.

    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.
