Last Friday at work during lunch we were having a kick around out in the yard when, bearing down on goals I tripped over a loose bit of concrete and fell heavily.

It stung straight away and I knew my knee was badly injured.

All weekend I was getting texts asking for my knee and wondering if I was able to go drinking but unfortunately had to do family stuff.
Have you ever witnessed this kind of compassion and solidarity at work and would it be unique to Ireland?

You sure you are old enough to work, this reads like something that happened in the school yard. Did the HR lady give you a lollypop as well for being so brave?

I'm self-employed and I have to say that I, for one, am extremely grateful that this doesn't relate to me. At all.

Well, there was this one time, we were having our Christmas Party, and these terrorists took over the building, and only for this one guy who fought them off single handedly we would have ... ah no, sorry - I was thinking of Die Hard.

You'd have to carry yourself in, clean the cut yourself, even kiss it better yourself and then give yourself a big loner hug. I imagine it would look something like a scene from Me, Myself and Irene.

Surely you kept it for yourself and its now proudly sitting on the mantelpiece as a memento of the greatest story ever told? Pretty rude of them to want it for themselves.

If by ointment you mean hands and by arm you mean throbbing shaft of manliness, then yes, you're right.

Straight in, no kissing.

Many years ago when I was working as an electrician one of the cunts I worked with broke his leg on the lunch playing football.Henrik Larson type of break , bone out through skin , him screaming , passing out etc .
Anyway we gave him a spliff (electricians are allowed smoke on site , calms the nerves) and carried on playing football round him.
Eventually we went back to work leaving him there , I often wonder what happened to him , particularly on days like today .

Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As his young playmate said

Did you think I would leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember
When we were two little boys

You have a great case for a claim, (if that is what you wear looking for), 1st mistake is they moved you when they should of called an ambulance, (imagine the fun of getting a spin at top speed to the nearest hospital),

then someone who was not trained to make a diagnosis of how damaged you were (considering you were moved and more damage was caused) treated you for a sore knee when there was a good chance you were suffering from, snap crackle and pop,

on the plus side there is a good chance you will get to stay up as late as you like, (but you will need to keep moaning and shouting ouch every now and then).

I was in work today and one of the other girls knocked over my carton of milk during big break and it fell on the floor and all the milk spilled out of the carton. I was very upset because I was thirsty and I really like milk, but then all the other girls came over and gave me a little bit of their milk and I ended up having more milk than I had before!!!

That first girl is still a cunt though.

I wouldn't want the boobies of my female colleagues near me.

I've a similar story of solidarity between workmates. We were drinking after work the French girl working with us said she'd take her top off if all the lads took off theirs. 5 seconds later she was the only person in the bar wearing a top. We thought we'd been had, but in a gesture of fairness and EU relations she took her blouse and bra off. We all knew she had a great pair but were still unprepared for the breathtaking vista that we beheld.

I met one of the lounge boys recently who was there that special night 18 years ago. He was only 14 at the time. He said his memories of that night were at the forefront of his wankbank till 2005. He did say however that upon entering the adult workforce, he was disappointed when he found out that not all his female co-workers would get their beautiful bronze nippled Boobs out.

Is there ANY way I can enquire as to how you hurt your arm without it coming across as a sick joke?

lukesmom · 20-03-2013 01:47AM

A similar thing happened me in work last year. It was a sunny day. At little break I looked in my bag and there was no lunch there so the kind lady rang my mam and she dropped some in for me but the funny thing was by the time the bell rang for us to go in then it was too late to eat my lunch so I drew a picture of a spaceship and then it was time to go home again.

I was on a summer job in a wool mill, managed to fall out of the wool bin(a big shelf with loads of wool, this one was about 8 feet off the ground on the second row) where I was having a nap to get rid of my hangover.

deman · 20-03-2013 08:19AM

Similar story.

Me and a few colleagues went out for a quick knockabout during our break when the workplace idiot wanted to join in. At first we said no but when he caused a fuss we let him play. A couple of seconds later, he tripped over his shoelaces as his mam forgot to put a double knot on them in the morning. He grazed his knee and started yelling like he'd lost his leg. We had to carry the fat baby inside again and attend to his little drop of blood to settle him down. Luckily the boss wasn't there or we'd have been in real deep shi*. We all pretended that we cared just so that he wouldn't cry again.
