  1. I want to do a wee re-creation of the Jaws scar scene, and need a couple of other scarred cyclists for it. I've got a chipped front tooth, and the scar where my elbow was opened up.

    Won't show up as well with all my fluffy hair these days, but the dent's still there. 60 stitches, which to be honest was more showing off by the surgeon than really necessary.

    I've got my chainring-stabbing wound on my right calf, which is only a few months old but looks like it might be sticking around...

    My teeny chin-stitch-scar is almost invisible and my slightly more visible eyebrow-stitch-scar doesn't qualify as I was only standing beside my bike when I received the wound.

    My chin has a pair of cycle crash scars but they are quite small and possibly not very noticeable, only one person has ever commented on them and that was just out of jealousy cuz face scarz is kewl innit.

    I don't have any, but I could see if I could get a copy of my x-ray.

    I've got the same as Tom, which fall also gave me a couple of 5p circular scars on elbow and knee. I'm also currently rocking a scabbed shin, which will likely become a scar, having pedal-raked myself in a slippy shoe push-off incident. Both self-inflicted. Bloody cyclists...

    Sheesh custard. It looks like the consultant started it off with the first seven staples, then the junior finished it off :)

    Puzzle, Custard's impressive staplery might be linked to this:

    As for the fencepost, I expect that it received emergency surgery with a hammer and saw but couldn't be saved.

    Custard wins. Now begins the solemn ceremony of feeding him to a badly dated rubber shark...

    I went back to the scene of the splat in the early 90's with a friend. At the time I was too concussed to remember which post it was, but my pal and I decided it was most likely the one that had been yanked out the ground.

    I then went back at Christmas time last year and discovered the whole fence has fallen into such disrepair that I have no idea which is the guilty party.

    At work, the kids show none of the reticence of adults when it comes to facial scarring, so they just come right out and ask, but me being me I prefer to come up with an outrageous lie before getting the cycle safety message in. For example:

    - I got into a knife fight with a shark when I was in Brooklyn. Jumped out an alleyway and tried to mug me.

    - I wasn't getting good marks in exams at school, so they swapped my brain with that of a manatee. After that all I wanted to do was laze about estuaries and eat algae so my marks got ever worse, and they swapped my brain back in.

    - I used to have a job testing razor sharp boomerangs. They didn't make it past the testing phase.

    - I cut myself shaving and vowed never to touch a razor again.

    - You did it. You don't remember that time you ran around with a chainsaw trying to massacre everyone? I was going to tell your Mum about your behavior that day, but I forgot.

    - I went camping with my friend Joe, who is a walrus, and during the night I had one of those spasm thingies where you jerk upright, and I caught my head on his tusk.

    nothing new.
    just problems with nerve damage from the OP.get a lot of pain through my hand/wrist
    plus I'm back on the Amitriptyline, which can make me wobbly.
    Not a good mix on the bike

    I think I'll have to go for Criticical Stress Debriefing after this thread viewing, or maybe it should be Trauma Risk Incident Management consultation?!
