Lewis Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 There have been a couple of ouch threads recently so I'll add mine! ... I was mowing the lawn yesterday listening to Radio 1 (as you do), stopped to empty the grass collector bag, went to restart the mower by pulling the starter thing and some how cut my finger! The starter "T handle" bit was broken and had a sharp edge so it must have been that. There was a big U shaped cut with a big flap of skin (good job I'm not squeamish ) and it looked a bit funny inside, but no blood I was looking at it expecting something and after a few seconds it started bleeding quite a bit! Moms a nurse so I kept pressure on it and she put some steri strips on it and bandaged it up. Its still sore today and it was trobbing yesterday but has stopped today. So the moral of the story is don't mow the lawn, a sheep can do a much better job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
