We all need to be heard for a little while.

Its strange the things that make us blush - my dad will talk openly about sex but if I ask him about his pee (he's just stopped wearing a catheter), he blushes.

Although with something you've bought, people are more likely to discuss their recommendations.

I'm intrigued - what have you done? :rotfl:

code - I have twice (twice! because once wasn't embarrassing enough) fallen off the back off a moving treadmill. In that comedy falling style you think must only happen in films.

Thank you. I feel so much better now.:beer:

That's what I'm here for I'm the comedy clumsy friend lol.

I once fell off a rowing machine in the gym, before I got off I knew I was going to fall, totally jinxed myself.

I also fell flat on my face once on the way home from the shop, had decided to cross a bit of grass rather than go on the path as it was a bit icy. I was also wearing reindeer pyjama bottoms, one of those days where I decided to walk the 2 mins to the shop without getting dressed.

I also fell flat on my face once in Edinburgh after a weekend away with an ex bf, in front of people, the reindeer pyjama incident was also in front of someone.

Although one thing I have never done (yet) is get on a long distance train and not get off in time if I wasnt travelling (seeing other people off), I saw that happen once and the whole carriage didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

There's always witnesses isn't there?? I never fall over in the privacy of my own home... only in the middle of a town centre, or a busy gym.

I walked into a pub once and got my heel stuck in a grate thing on the floor by the front door - stepped out of my shoe and went flying. A LOT of people saw that one. :rotfl:

I'm always falling over. Back in winter I did a proper, legs over the head, land flat on back Still Game type fall on the ice.

I also once got on a train that they said was going to one place, only it was the earlier train and it was ab express so I ended up having to go all the way to Glasgow and then all the way back.

All these comedy moments are coming back to me now. A few years ago I was standing on a busy bus. I lost my balance when it went round a roundabout and sat on someone... the shame!

My reindeer pyjama bottoms (which had just been washed), ended up covered in muck, a guy tried to help me up and I was like, Im ok, thanks but its fine (actual mortification).

I also fell on my way downstairs in my block of flats, in my defence, it was swimming in someone's weekend discarded lager.

Probably way more, but Ive blanked them from my mind. A personal instructor friend of my brother's once dropped a 20kg plate on his toe and broke it.

Im also really bad for bashing myself, if theres a door handle, it will smack off my elbow, Im sure Ive done myself damage by falling into a radiator (that wasn't on)

One thing I always make sure I take is several spare hair bobbles, hairspray and kirby grips when I do bootcamp as Ive had bobbles snap on me a couple of minutes in and 9 times out of 10 I wear workout stuff with a drawstring, have seen too many people's trousers fall down mid exercise to want that for myself.

I also broke my arm walking across a dancefloor that people had spilled drinks on and broke my tailbone walking on black ice (that I didnt see before it was too late). These days, ice grippers are something I wear at the first sign of a snowflake.

My mum once dropped her mobile phone under the wheels of a taxi and another night she was on a night out (she had had a couple of drinks) and dropped her handbag in the middle of the front garden, the postie brought it in in the morning.

Ive only fainted once, I fell off my mums front step, she tried to catch me but couldnt and I smacked my head off her front step and ended up spark out in a bush in the middle of the garden.

Oh and Ive only sleepwalked once, but got picked up by the police (in a football shirt and a pair of knickers), trying to walk the 2 miles to my mums house at 3am having walked out of my front door and slammed it shut behind me.

What a clumsy bunch we are...

I run and I fall over a lot. Including the fall where I'd jumped over a kerb and fell flat on my face in front of a few marshalls. I'd managed to scrape one elbow and the palm of my other hand. That really hurt! It also got me out of a gig I was meant to be doing a few days later because of how sore my hand and elbow were.

My left knee is covered in scars from running and my right knee isn't that far behind.
