Show us your scars (not you Catherine!) Maybe not for the squemish!!!

(might of been racing a car)

Hate to be a complete pedant Joe, but it's "I might have been racing a car."

The only reason I raise it, is because it will look better in your essays if you have the correct words (don't use might of, would of, should of, etc.) and it's generally an indicator that you have picked it up from the verbal abbreviation of have to 'ave which becomes "of". Should've and would've is okay (I think) possibly even might've (no doubt someone will correct me if wrong). Interestingly this use of 'of' in the written word is widely found in partially deaf people and those who don't do a great deal of reading. I was guilty of both when young but changed when I was told I did this.

I'd show you my scar, but I don't think you'd want a faceful of my pubes on a Monday morning!

You're gonna need a bigger trike.

This is my injury, not bike-related but is the reason I now ride a trike rather than a bike.

Definitely not for the squeamish either!

Blimey Helen. A shark attack made you ride a trike?

Excellent post by ChrisKH, there. This is one of my pet hates.

Heres mine, pretty much nothing compared to some on here. It didnt hurt though.

I sprinted off from some lights(might of been racing a car) and my shoe unclipped from the pedal, i was doing about 25mph at the time, and slide on my arse/my arm doing that speed.
My sleeves were rolled up, and thats the only cuts i got
I did carry on riding to see my GF aswell, then rode back Didnt slow me down much

once you start shaving you'll get worse than that on your face

I've had one like derall's - big patch off my butt.

I haven't got any big nasty scars - just the odd hardly visible mark....

Nope, an attack of a Killer Orthopaedic Surgeon

 

[arallsopp]

OOoh. They can be nasty. I knew an Orthopaedic Surgeon once. Had lifeless eyes; black eyes; like a doll's eyes. When he comes at you, doesn't seem to be living...

Actually, mine was a Consultant Neurosurgeon. Left a very tidy mark just above the base of my spine. I'd show you, but its behind me now

It's now nearly ten past one in the afternoon , I think we are ready for almost anything you've got for us.

My office has a glass door... not sure it'd be best to whip my trousers down and be seen taking a photo of my nethers

(thinks if excuse.."er...I frequent this forum, you see, and we're showing each other pics of our scars, so i was just going to upload it...etc"

 

[Auntie Helen]

Well my photo above was taken 15 years ago. The good news is that scars fade a little. The bad news is they can leave you with saggy skin!

Crikes the wonders of modern surgery. I had major surgery on my shoulder last year and all I have is three small scars like this. Thank goodness for key hole surgery.

What IS that Auntie Helen?

A leg? An arm? A finger? Stalactite? Cow's tongue? Vegetable?

I see the resemblance to a stalactite but it's actually an arm including elbow (the bones are all now replaced with titanium so the shape's a bit random)

done by a quick corner after jumping the road bike on a speed hump, and cornering on a wet zebra crossing.
