Near death experiences.

The odd thing about the whole experience was that I became aware I was
totally missing my libido.

I bet there's someone here who knows who said "losing my libido
was like being unshackled from a lunatic".

George Melly said it recently but he was just quoting some dead philosopher.

I like the Tony Parsons one: "having a penis is like being handcuffed to
the village idiot".

Is he the clueless fuckhead who was on "This Week" the other day?

I was having some fairly routine surgery (revision work) and some work done
on my nose to help my breathing when my anterior (sp) artery ruptured and I
dumped four pints of blood all over the operating theatre floor. My BP went
through the floor and set the alarms off. While they were looking for the
leak my heart, kidneys and liver started to fail so they had to get my BP
back up using plasma. Ten hours later they had completed the repairs. I had
four tubes coming out of my head, lots more going in to me and coming out
from me for six days. The only tube I liked was my catheter [1]. I then had
a reaction to the anti-biotic, which meant I vomited for 8 days. This is not
good when you're trying to make blood. I lost 8kg and dropped under nine
stone. They then discovered some necrosis on my forehead and decided to
operate. This was done under a local. I had what can be best described as an
abscess deep in my skull, which was the result of an old injury. Dr. Suporn
and his staff drilled a few holes and cleaned out the problem. It felt like
he was using an ice cream scoop, it was the most painful two hours of my
life and my body started shutting down again. They told me that given time
it could have eaten through my skull. So I really had two lucky escapes. I'm
well on the mend now and will start training again soon.

That'll teach you for having your cock cut off

To be honest I didn't feel anything either way was it was just a big
"oh shit" moment, you kind of resign yourself to the fact it's going
to hurt. The worse part was not being able to wash my hair. I did have
a full head of hair going in, now I've go a few hairless patches and a
Frankenstein's monster scar which will completely disappear. My hair
will grow back in three months.

Shame really, I had worked up an interesting new business proposition in
your field.

See how much blood you can lose before you pass out.

Prace your bets.

You also haven't a clue. Having my womb and an ovary removed also didn't
make me pee the bed.

IIRC the quote was along the lines of"What makes MPs think they've got
the right to make decisons on my behalf?" or similar, on the back of
the 90-day detention defeat thingy, then he proceeded to prevent Ken
Clarke and/or Clare Short from getting a word in edgewise.

"if there's another bomb on the tube, MPs will have blood on their
hands"

The man's an idiot.

I've had a couple, not bike related though.
Click to expand...

Ditto. Rock climbing in my case. Leading up a crack (ooerr) that
disappeared to nothing, several pitches up in Wales. I'd used up all my
RP's [1] and so I was pretty stuck, with my arms pumped out, I couldn't
downclimb (too dangerous), couldn't continue safely (no protection) and
most of the stuff i'd put in couldn't take a good fall.

Shouted to my belayer to give me a lot of slack and went up 20 further
feet practically soloing, to emerge over the top very chastened, heart
racing and in a cold sweat.

I felt sorry because of who I would've left behind and the circumstances
in which it would've happened.
Click to expand...

Well, I felt worse about endangering my belayer through my own stupid
fault. Thankfully he was pretty well tied in to the ledge, but he
wouldn't have relished stopping me in a 50' ish fall.

Cheers,

Paul.
