I broke both shoulders and dislocated my arm. Broke my collar bone. All at the same time playing football. Through on goal and the defender clipper my ankle. Broke both legs aswell playing football. Separately. Fell off a kids scooter and cracked my skull. Needed stitches which my brother in law kindly did for me. He is an engineer. I woke up. Didn’t remember and looked in the mirror while having a pee: got the shock of my life. Also broke my right ankle. Also playing football.
You seem to have forgotten that recent unfortunate incident that led to you being able to pee in 4 different directions at once. That's got the be up there as a monumental act of clumsiness.
Had 8 stitches in the top of my head recently, whilst on holiday in Cyprus and spending all day getting blasted on the all-inclusive drinks, I got out of the pool and smashed my head open. Had a bit of a bald patch shaved, which has grown over now and you can't notice.
Not accident prone just to stupid to listen to the warning signs aged 5 piled up sofa cushions and jumped around on them while trying to lasso a plant after watching a western, near a protruding corner of a wall - mum said not to but I did it anyway... 6 stitches aged 8 climbed onto dads car to wave goodbye to a friend, again was told not to - kneed the headlight - 3 stitches aged 13 ran down a hill covered in snow on a school trip despite being told not to, slipped, caught my knee on a flint stone, 16 stitches 6 inside, 10 externally. aged 15 jackass style stunt videos (didn't take note of the warning notice) - jumped out of a tree - snapped ankle, had 7 cricket balls thrown at me by the older kids, fractured the other ankle, jumping a tennis net, broken wrist. Moral of the story is when grown ups tell you not to do something do it anyway or you'll be boring and have no stories of all the scars to tell.
Got hair past my shoulders down to my chest somewhere, so that bit started out as shaved, then turned to mini spikes and eventually became unnoticeable. I seem to have massive amounts of estrogen in my system in that none of my hair's ever gone and I've never had a grey hair. Hilariously however my dad is bald as feck and started losing it around 16, lol.
No that's complete and utter bollocks, it's some old wives tale that people seem to believe for some reason. In the same way people bizarrely believe that deoxygenated blood in the body is blue. It's all down to genetics and dominant and recessive alleles, ie my dad's father had all his hair up until he died, and both my dad's brothers have all their hair but he's bald and has been since he was young. It's basically luck, hair loss has no definite pattern in terms of where it comes from in the family.
Something of a difference between accident prone and clumsy I reckon - especially where alcohol is involved
As I say: ALWAYS ignore the warnings - "Drink responsibly" - like who the **** came up with that ****?
It's to stop DPP from pulling out a bottle of vodka from his drawer while reading out the school class register first thing in the morning.
This is true, when I was was working in the Caribbean my driver always used to go pretty slowly even if roads were clear Asked him one day why and he replied "because I'll spill my rum otherwise ..."
Do any of you actually have dyspraxia then? Ie clinical clumsiness? I have a few friends who have it, I share some of their traits in that I was always a bit **** at sports at school, but I'm the complete opposite in most ways, so I definitely don't have it. I watched Cara Delevingne's Planet Sex thing on iPlayer and she has it, and it's quite interesting to note her mannerisms and stuff like that.
