You would think at my age that i could cut up vegies without incident. But no! We have these nice new knives and they are sharp as. So i was watching what i was doing. Then the bloody thing slips and slashes my finger . Bloody deep too! Cursing like a mad man and a bit worried at the same time. Off to the doc i go. 3 stitches later and its on the mend. So no playing for Coogee in goal this weekend. No work today. No playing in goal at 5's on Wednesday. Oh joy! At least the boss was worried.

Just went out to pick up a housewarming gift for the Jockstars

Thanks for that. Since i am right handed i can use the left one the wife is left handed she can use the right.

speaking of using knives in Thailand.....when I peel fruit with a knife I brace my thumb against the fruit and pull the knife blade more or less toward my thumb....while the Thais I see peeling things all seem to always be pushing the knife away somehow rather than pulling it and sort of using their index finger somehow to aid in guiding the knife although right now I have been trying to imitate their movements and can't quite seem to recreate it...anyone else notice this....do you think its genetic?

Chownah

Admitting to being a puller is admirable.

Stating that Thai's genetically all become pushers, is a tad harsh. ( the mods tend to frown on such accusations )

let the wife hold the vegetable and you do the slicing job...much safer!

Topic for discussion on a public internet forum - I cut myself.

You belong in the token banana thread.

Soundman.

I asked Asians about this. They slice away from themselves so they don't stab themselves. Get a veg peeler. Much easier.

But much better to cut yourself with a sharp knife than a dull one. As I say to Mr Man, why do you think that surgeons use scalpels? He is loathe to cut anything up once I've given the knives as good run along the steel.

I hate that feeling of metal slicing through skin.Even worse is when you hit the bone. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

Even been barefoot and stood on an upturned 13 amp plug? now that hurts.

Many years ago in the UK, got a call from a good pal's wife inviting a few friends round to their house for a glass of Champers. Seemed her Hubby ( my pal ) had finally given in to her nagging about fixing new windows into the bedroom and the event should be noted !!

Into the house we sneaked. Charged our glasses outside the room, our progress covered by the noise of his work.

Wife threw open the door. In we jumped, shouting happy new window !!!

Poor lad turned in shock. Dropped the Black and Decker through his foot. Grabbed at afore mentioned throbbing member, fell backwards and pushed the new window onto wife's Fiesta.

The pain I felt through laughing so hard, will never be forgotten.

Tried that, didn't work well.

Every couple of days she'd leave to tend to her sick "brother"

:D

Thirteen-year-old girl stands on toilet bowl. Toilet bowl breaks. Now that hurts!

Should make any Asian think twice about squatting on western-style toilets.

A bit graphic

:D

Holy christ, first watch...uh, read the hot bums-thread and then this...my open and sensitive mind took a beating by this cruel development!

Just lovely...

Ouch! I've had a long day in the kitchens! I don't need to see this!

I can't believe that's all that's happened!

I don't think she's shares your thoughts, suegha.

Yes, but I think she knows all that's happened!

I'd have thought you'd learned how to be a real man by now Jockstar - living in Sydney and all!!!!

A few weeks ago, while slicing up fruit, I almost sliced my knuckle off Being all alone, and late at night, I applied pressure and ran my wound under water until it stopped bleeding, then wrapped dunny paper around it. Seemed ok in the morning so carried on as normal.

It wasn't til a few days later when a friend reminded me that Thai water can carry germs that I started to worry.....

Still have my finger, not much of a scar, so - I guess my water supply is ok!!!

Well khall, woman do have a much more stoical view of illness and injury. Men are undoubtedly the worst patients. Hence a cold being a 'manflu'. Can imagine if men had babies!?! Or even a 'that time of the month'? The world would stop turning...

Yeah right. Like you ever drink water ! (not unless it's frozen in cube shape and sterilized with shots of alcohol first !)

Speaking of which, hmmm, 18 days to freedom, 19 to home, 19.00694 days until "clink, clink, "pop", glug, glug, "tink", swish, swish and finally, gulp-gulp-gulp" ! (possibly repeated once or twice more before I say hi to the old ball-and-chain, kiss the cat, kick the kids, ect).
