[Misc] Scars.

[lawros left foot]

At the beginning of another interminable International break, a question.

What scars have you got?

Not the reason you've got them( unless you want to tell,) just how many, and how big.

Me, a 3 inch one on my chin, 3, 3 inch ones on my chest, and an 8 inch one from under my left ear to my Adams apple.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Last season's Palace home game left a pretty deep one, but it's got much better in the last week or so

 

[Frutos]

- Two intersecting ones on my forehead caused by me falling down two sets of steps about 20 years apart.

- One on my left knee caused by me crawling over an upturned carpet tack as a baby.

- Two on the left side of my chest from when I had to have chest drains for a collapsed lung.

- One on my right thigh (looks sort of like a varicose vein) caused by my habit of chewing my own leg as a baby.

 

[Weststander]

Ghoulish.

Wrist - an inch long scar from someone dropping a large kitchen knife in a bin bag in a restaurant kitchen, I was a 14 year old kitchen porter working an evening a week. Missed an artery by a mm!

Knee - an inch long scar above my knee, from coming off my bike in the last year. A bike repair shop had fitted a handlebar riser and didn't tighten it correctly, so on a ride the handlebar suddenly turned 90 degrees, whilst the front wheel went straight on.

Shin - there's a scar from a girl in older year at school, we never got on, kicking me and drawing blood.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

- Across the top of my left thumb (chopped off in a door)
- Base of left thumb...palm side (bitten by a dog)
- Base of left thumb...top side (fell over)
- Three on stomach (entry points for gallbladder surgery)
- Lower back (spinal surgery for 2 burst discs)
- Back of left thigh (another dog bite)
- Back of left heel (bone spur removal)
- Left shin (MTB pedal strike)

.....The left side of my body isn't very lucky

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Once suffered a serious paper cut immediately before going onto the trading floor at LIFFE. Was genuinely terrified that those low-IQ Millwall scumbags would smell blood and tear me ASUNDER

Well l thought that was mildly amusing and gave you a thumbs up, even if no one else did.

- One on my right thigh (looks sort of like a varicose vein) caused by my habit of chewing my own leg as a baby.

I've got 4 more small ones, 2 from chest drains, and 2 from heart surgery about the size of my little fingernail.


I also have loads and loads up and down my arms (burns) from 45 years working as a chef, but you can only really see them when I have a tan, and then my arms look like I self harm.

Losing to those wankers in the play offs left me emotionally scared for life

 

[Muzzman]

Scars?

*Nods sagely*

I have my scars.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I have a massive psychological scar from the 1993 NatWest Final when Sussex batted first and scored a record 321 runs only to lose to Warwickshire after we allowed Asif f*cking Din to get 104.

This was far worse than the Palace play-off loss or the Euro '96 semi-final loss to Germany on penalties.

 

[wunt be druv]

Three inch scar on my right forearm, 4 inch scar on my left shin, two, two inch scars on my head all as a result of falling of surf boards over rocks and being attacked by my own surfboard while doing so! Also multiple burn scars on my hands from a bad electric shock and umpteen others from knives and cookers while cooking...I think that's about it...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Two on my stomach from appendix removal and a deep cyst.

One under my eye from getting punched coz I'm well hard (I was punched in the face by a grown man when I was 13).

 

[Hampden Park]

12" scar across from east to west on my abdomen and two more about 8" each going through and around my belly button. looks like the cross of St George.

Tell me about it, l was at Lords that day to witness it too.

Giving away 14 runs on that last over was just criminal.
