And...

...someone who was a very nervous flyer who was killed in a plane crash.

Do you think

She'll die?

davebigpicture | 20 May 2011 - 8:28am

I think the prognosis is encouraging...

...provided she doesn't take it as some sort of cue to ingest ever larger and larger animals. That can be dangerous.

I wondered the other day if

anyone had actually "have someone's eye out with that"

latenitetellyvision | 19 May 2011 - 10:39am

I know a song about that

"One Eye Enos" by Toots & The Maytals. In my opinion, the best song they ever recorded.

"Suppose you did knock out the man's eye, what would you do?"

With a permanent frown thanks to the wind changing.

Spartacus Mills | 19 May 2011 - 10:43am

I genuinely know

someone who as a kid blinded a fellow pupil with a catapult.

BigJimBob | 19 May 2011 - 10:49am

Glad you have taken this literally (that was my intention)

The chap I knew, Richard, was playing with sticks as swords and lost his eye.

I realise that I am pretty tragically connected cos I also know a guy whose 3 year old daughter fell off her trike, cracked her head on the patio and died. A parent's utter dread and yet we all say 'let's not over-protect our kids, let them be free and have bumps etc'.

Hernias can be fun

My dad shot the little neighbour boy in the eye when he came round the corner of the house while dad was practising with his new air-rifle.
Came back to haunt him 30 years later when he turned up as our milkman.
Mind you the guilt was mitigated because it got laddie off military service.
And on an entirely unrelated matter, just watching 5 mins of the Chelsea Flower Show on Beeb, rewarded by a presenter using the phrase 'pom-pom shaped trusses' (see heading).

I know someone

Who lives in a rainforest that is roughly the size of Wales.

2
Spartacus Mills | 19 May 2011 - 11:04am

I've never been clear:

Is the standard unit for measuring rainforest size a Wales or a Belgium? Maybe the latter is the metric version.

OK, that's the morning written off.

Brilliant!

0
Bob | 19 May 2011 - 11:16am

That's fascinating

Though I'm sad to see it doesn't have my favourite useless unit of measurement, for when journalists describe something (often bombs or suspect packages) as being "about the size of a lunchbox."

0
Joe R | 19 May 2011 - 11:29am

And no mention of one of the standard engineering measurements.

A gnat's. This may be a "gnat's cock" or, if you're from Scotland, land of proud engineers and finer tolerances, a "gnat's bawhair".

0
Lenny Law | 19 May 2011 - 1:51pm

Or a gnat's chuff.

And the thing about a gnat's chuff is that it is, quite literally, as tight as a gnat's chuff.

Sugar sugar

they seem to have left the "bag of sugar" off that list. 2lb, in the old money.

Spider-mans arc... | 19 May 2011 - 12:30pm

During my gap year

I worked in factory packing hot water bottles into boxes meanwhile my friend worked on a prawn fishing boat off Australia got bitten by a sea snake, the crew turned on him for being slow on the fish processing line and locked him in a room, chucked rotten fish at him when they let him out and then dumped him onto another boat without paying him.
