'My wedding ring slipped off my finger'
'The elastic band was in my pocket which must have had a hole in it.....'
'I was hoovering the living room and the cleaner hose jumped'
'At 2am I drove to X (well known gay meeting place) because I was taken short on my way home from work (X by the way was 20 miles in the opposite direction to his home). Please tell my wife I tripped over a cat' (from man with extensive severe bruising, black eyes, lacerations on his back and an ear torn off)
'I was standing on the broom to open the window' (perforated bowel)
'It's my birthday and I didn't want to make my girlfriend pregnant'
And someone who utilised a Jubilee clip and broke off the 'key' days earlier and then realised it was visible through his trousers only when noticed work colleagues unable to look him in the eye........

No wonder A&E is in a mess ;)

The edition with photos of piercings and rings was a bit eye-watering too!

A darning 'mushroom' in bowel......[cross-eyed emoticon]

mishap I remem that one! Postmen complained because it was delivered in a clearcover! The photo on the front was graphic!

Mishap Tue 06-Jan-15 22:00:53

Indeed galen - it was a great hit at our Christmas party too!

How did this serious thread sink so far?!

Probably because I joined it. smile

This may be a serious problem (depending on your view of serious - after all it's not life threatening) but it does have an amusing side.

I have had the problem for many years, but can still joke about it. Sex is good, but the lack of it has never affected our relationship, just gave us time to read more books.

GN does give a platform for members to discuss problems like this as we are anonymous, I have never discussed this with anyone else, perhaps if I had, I would have found the solution years ago.

Even when this thread has broken down into smut, it has still been respectful.

pompa I'd imagine your GN fan club has just doubled its membership grin. What a great post.

Hear, hear!! GK

Please note that the address pillssupplier gives does not exist and if you check out the web address the drugs are coming from India. Not only is this charlatan trying to sell Viagra but is claiming to sell cancer drugs too. How did someone with a name like this actually get to register?

When I worked in a hospital, a man came into A and E with a switched on vibrator stuck in his bottom. He'd come to hospital on the bus too! Other passengers must have been very puzzled! shock

In amongst my post today was one of those hilarious little catalogues full of things that you cannot possibly need, and from out of this fell a flier advertising a spray-on instant erection. The graphics were very impressive.

Marelli Sat 24-Jan-15 18:22:26

grin....I wonder if it would help my bonsai tree which has gone all droopy, Mishap.....!!

Not sure that this is a genuine post, but it does raise an interesting idea. I suspect that single men with ED are very reluctant to try to find a partner as they feel they are not going to be acceptable. But there may well be ladies out there quite happy with such a situation. So a dating site for men with ED could be an excellent idea.

Elegran Fri 27-Feb-15 09:22:25

I am not sure that this is it, though, pompa

Anne58 Fri 27-Feb-15 09:49:26

def. not genuine! Name Lawrence Rawlings, but a "lady" of 47? I think the last line is supposed to be "Know more" then the website which will probably (if it does exist) have various offers of pills and potions to "cure" erectile dysfunction!

(Referring to the deleted posts only!)

They do come crawling out of the woodwork when sex is mentioned, don't they?

Such an honest and humorous thread too! smile
