I was wearing earphones this morning, while I was listening to a presentation. I discovered that if I rub my shoes against the carpet and then lift my feet off the ground (while sitting) that there was a crackling sound in the earphones.
Out of boredom, I decided to see how much static I could build up and was furiously running my feet back & forth on the carpet when I got too much momentum going and kicked a bar that runs under my desk.
My lower shin looks like I just met Graham Kavanagh in the park.

Broke my arm in five places as a young lad in goals

Suppose it serves me right for looking up to David James at the time

**Magicme** · 08/02/2007, 11:01 AM

I love David James.

I love scars.......

Oh and the head injury....well was riding my pony once and he threw me and I wasnt wearing the right head gear (wanted to wear my lovely white crocheted hat instead u see) and my pony (Cassie was her name) stood on my face compounding the head injury. It was either that incident or falling off a half barn door onto cement, or falling off a swing, or falling against a concrete wall & splitting my head open....yah...was v accident prone!

I closed a door behind me one time whilst my index finger was still on the door-frame. I lost the top of my finger, about half and inch - it grew back. It has never been the same since and my nail doesn't grow.

Worst injury I ever sustained was up at Sportslink whilst climbing a goal post. I slipped and ripped my leg open on a hook used for the nets. I never seen my mother run so quick, she had to run 3 Gaelic pitches to get to the reception. In fact it was the same day as the American Football in Croker!

We used to do this in school. You could give a great shock of static to the person sitting beside you, especially if you used those metal clips for holding your technical drawing paper down. You could actually see the spark. Oh those were the days.

When I was about 4, I was playing "circus" with my brother. I fell off his shoulders and landed on my head on an upturned plug. The prongs actually lodged in my head (not skull, just skin) and I had to go to hospital to have it removed. The doctor was Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi and I spent the whole time screaming to my mum "dont let the brown man near me"!!!!!!!!!!
