Absolutely lame, but age 12 I remember the worst most intense pain I ever felt was sitting on my own thumb after pulling a wooden stool towards me - crushed it right on the edge corner and it was so intense.

Way more painful than the time I got a drawing pin (thumbtack) half embedded in my heel, impaled my wrist on a set square, or winded myself falling chest-first off a skateboard.

I’ve been pretty lucky/sensible

Carp. Had it in poland. The toughest fish meat I’ve ever had, riddled with tiny annoying bones. Tastes a bit like discount supermarket proscuitto… not exactly horrible, but it was so much effort to eat the damn thing to boot

A kangaroo steak I had in oz is in the top 5 steaks I’ve ever had

As an oyster fan, I can confirm that different species make a pretty enormous* difference to both flavour and texture.

*within the confines of slimy salty shellfish meat

tucking in to anything salty with lemon and tabasco is also pretty good though

Most of my print jobs… maybe one a month, are for either artistic reasons or for making labels to stick on things.

I do still print tickets out of habit though, just in case I lose/forget my phone or drain the battery that day, though this has literally never happened.

One of the saddest things was a blog by a nanny to a little girl who was born without a face. She had eyes and a mouth, but that was about it other than random folds of skin. The nanny was so sweet, talking about all the operations the girl had had to slowly, over time, build her something resembling a face. The girl herself was apparently really sweet and loving too, but everyone who saw her would react as you might expect.

It just struck me how cruel nature can be sometimes. At least she was born to very wealthy parents, but that was the only perk.

I wonder how she’s getting on now. Must be 18 or so I imagine.
