The minor injuries thread....

[Accy cyclist]

I have a theory that if you don't have plasters in the house you don't cut yourself. When i've had plasters i've cut myself,when i haven't, i haven't cut myself. I haven't had a plaster in my flat for about 2 years and in that time i've only cut myself once and that was last week when i got a little nick on my finger off a knife. I think if you have plasters your brain thinks 'don't worry if you cut yourself, you have a plaster,so you're ok'. If you don't have plasters in the house your brain tells you to be extra careful,so you avoid cutting yourself. This theory also applies to cycle helmets,but that's not for debate on this thread!

This was the blunt one!

Worse than a sharp one for injuries.

I knew that! The sharp one was in the dishwasher
Note to self: sharpen rest of the knives this weekend....

Well it's not an injury, but it's certainly minor...

Strange cracking effect has suddenly ravaged (one small area of) my thumb. Sore.

Do you have any cream?

Do you have any cream?

'Vaseline'll sort that'. I have it on good (the best) authority.

Oh you poor thing..

I'd best not post a picture of my thumb after a week at work in the field..

You might all need a bit of a lie down

Shouldn't the thread be updated to the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) to confuse and put off the public attending?

Cycling is fun they said, cycling is good for you they said.

Not when you fly off into a thorn bush it's not !!! (I had already hit a tree root which due to my speed and momentum, fired me into the river !! )

We nearly need 'an almost major injuries' thread for that one....

I have similar magical thinking strategies
Which work with varying degrees of efficacy
