My sis...
I could leave it there as she is pretty horrific, but that isnt the full story. When we were ickle, we lived in a house with a glass front door (in the times before safety glass) and, as mentioned, my sis is horrific. She also has a horrific temper. In one of her many temper tantrums, she pummelled (one l or two?) the afore mentioned glass door rather vigorously, putting her arms straight through. Cue white, horror filled faces from 3 small children, one mother completely frozen to the spot, one child with both arms stuck in a glass door and blood arcing through the air as far back as 12ft (stopping only because the back door was closed, as we found out later when we were cleaning up) and - luckily for us all - a little old man, on his way back from collecting his paper, neatly dressed (as old men tended to be) in suit and tie. Said little old man sees the nightmare in front of him, whips off his tie and chucks a tournique around my sis arm. Sis severed her arteries but was fine after an operation and a couple of days in hospital, but proudly bears the 7inch long, 1 inch wide, 1/2 inch high, snake-like scar to all who doubt her temper. (I say doubt because she hasnt learned her lesson, she's still a loon, but is such a great actress no-one would ever know except us closest to her!
