    A fine game in it's time but not the topic (a hazelnut in every bite) of this thread.

    Most of us in life go through an operation or two. What have we all had done?

    I had all my wisdom teeth taken out when I was 24.

    5 years earlier however I had an operation on my right shinbone to remove a tumour. Still to this day I can clearly remember what it was - osteoid osteoma. Basically a tumour which was essentially removed with hammer and chisel. Consequently I have a massive scar where 16 stitches had to be inserted and I also had my leg in a cast. I was very lucky in that the tumour turned out to be benign. Strange thing is I was not the least bit concerned being a young and carefree 19 year old loon. If it happened now I'd be worried sick.

    My mental health has been an issue for nigh on 30 years but unfortunately there is no operation for the brain. Well, I suppose they could do a frontal lobotomy but it would be a tad drastic. I sometimes wish I was a fish or something, blissfully unaware of what goes on inside a human brain.

    If the title and the words within the thread were exactly the same it would be the same irrespective of the author you clown.

    That must have been bloody painful Gambol.

    You were working at British Steel at the time, am I right?

    Did they not have any ice or perhaps liquid nitrogen?

    Never felt much of anything during the accident. The body is pretty good at shutting down when a part of it is being crushed.

    Aye, British Steel. I dropped out of Uni to go there too <laugh>

    Ice? Liquid nitro? :huh:

    I had an op to reattach the banjo string to my bellend after an excitable young filly gave one a rather rigorous hand job.

    Every bloke does his banjo sooner or later, I never knew you could do it so severely you have to have an op to get it re-attached. Or, in your case, micro-surgery.

    Both.

    My wife thinks I'm schizophrenic as well.

    Mental health issues run on my father's side of the family much like noses. That's not to say noses don't run on my mother's side of the family.

    **** it, I think Gambol came up with the correct diagnosis.

    To freeze the dismembered digit so they could sew it back on the wrong way round.

    Did you ever bump into Nigel when you were there?
