Ouch!A friend was once given a biopsy by a sleep-deprived junior doctor.
They needed a sample of his colon, so inserted the long bendy jaws-on-the-end thingy, located the suspect area and... he shot through the ceiling. Doctor had forgotten to administer any anaesthetic.
What was your ouchiest moment?

Small fish, big pain.No one ever tells you about Weaver Fish. They live in the sea abound the British coastline, burying themselves in the sand so you can't see them.
I trod on one when I was about 8 years old. Its sharp and poisonous spine stuck into my toe like a hypodermic. The pain was excruciating. My toe was painful for years after wards and slightly paralyzed. So,if you want to go swimming in the sea, at places like Bournmouth and Weymouth, wear plastic shoes. Weaver Fish are little buggers!

What is it with Weaver Fish?I've lived in Brighton all my life, yet I'd never heard of them until last week. Now it seems that they're public enemy number 1, responsible for mass slaughter, global warming and the return of Take That.
Did I miss a meeting?

I don't know about Take That....They give you a really nasty dart, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm not sure about their musical inclinations, but I do believe that they are distant cousins to Sting and Bono; which are about as painful to listen to.

I've caught loads of them whilst fishing.They are poisonous and some people can suffer from anaphylaxis.
Hot water, as hot as you can take, is the best method of alieviating the sting.
Man up, the shore ones are the lesser weavers. The greater weavers live in really deep water and are much more badass.
