Fell - he was trying to climb down onto the bank of the stream to dig out a build-up of si

lt. Slipped and fell. I was having a s**t and I could hear "HELP! HELP! OH GOD HELP!" coming from outside - by the time I'd wiped and flushed and got outside Mrs Next Door was already onto 999 to get an ambulance.

Landed really awkwardly on his leg, twisted it underneath him. Paramedic reckoned he was lucky the bone fragments didn't lacerate blood vessels, 'cos then he'd be in serious bother. As it is he's going to have all pins and that and one of them cages over his leg for ages.

All because the firm he works for sent him out to clear silt with just a shovel and a pair of wellyboots. Could at least have done him a ladder, too, to climb down with.

        Annoying when you have to rush a dump. (General Chat) - jafski, Oct 4, 14:13:48
        
        I didn't rush it. Man needed help, sure, but you don't hurry another man's motions, no ma (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Oct 4, 14:32:11
        
        Good for you. I'd have let him die rather than rush a poo. (General Chat) - jafski, Oct 4, 14:40:24
        
        Couple of extra minutes lying on a river bank in excruciating agony wouldn't have done any (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Oct 4, 14:44:03
        
        Good point. Musn't rush the wiping either. Would have been a good time for a miracle poo. (n/m) (General Chat) - jafski, Oct 4, 14:45:53

        You always do a second wipe with a miracle poo though don't you? Just to be sure. (n/m) (General Chat) - jafski, Oct 4, 15:03:20

        Totally agree. One's daily dump is a ring-fenced pleasure not to be hurried. (n/m) (General Chat) - Pit, Oct 4, 14:39:42
