    I'm here M'Sieur Duck - can't help myself ............

    And I should ought to point out - I only got one eye in my head that works, blew the other out with homemade powder when I was nineteen. That put me in hospital for 15 weeks and I was lucky to come out with one still working.
    That 'bang' put me fifteen feet in the air (so I was told) and I still remember the impact when I touched down - there weren't nothing gentle about it.

    You are warned.

    A friend of mine split his arm open but yours sounded much more dramatic!

    Yeah - I walked into hospital with one eye ball out of it's socket, was like looking through a red milk bottle - then they gave me something really nice ............

    My dad arrived and told me that though I was 'out of it' I wouldn't let them take my pants off. A rock had gone up my shorts and cut a groove in my bum before exiting the back of my shorts - effectively ruining them.

    Funny the things you remember .......
