Now knowing that you are slow on the uptake, I will give you an example. Think of your hand as a gong. You put your hand on the floor, palm up. Rushy jumps on your hand with the heel of his boot from a chair (this is the 7-08). Your hand hurts (is dented) but is not pierced. Now Gibo (who is there or there abouts half of Rushy's weight) jumps on your hand from the same chair but Gibo is wearing his wife's stiletto (as he has a tendency to do on a Friday night) and he lands the heel right in the centre of your palm (this is the 243) and Bob's your nana, a neat hole in the hand.

That story puts the shits up me, I hate the thought of a punctured hand, have stabbed myself with a Mercator right in the middle of my hand (palm side) whilst cutting the strings off a bale of silage before and while it was only a small injury it hurt like a bastard and made me get shivers down my spine whenever I felt or looked at it
