when I was 10 I was run over by a car (well hit anyway). I bounced up onto the bonnet then the windscreen, where I tore my new coat on the windscreen wiper, before finally falling to the ground in front of the car.

Luckily my mum didn't kill me for tearing my new coat.

Snap.

I went over the bonnet onto the windscreen, smashed it with my head, then was thrown into the gutter.

Needless to say I literally wet myself.

Still got the lump on my head – had a lot of stitches that day!

Makes a change from getting wee-weed on, I guess.

Has anyone saved anyone's life?

I did in Corfu once. At least I assume so. During a gap year we Inter-railed around Europe and got into the usual scrapes. When in Corfu swimming in the sea someone came to me and asked me if I was a strong swimmer, because someone was in trouble. I am a strong swimmer so, not quite believing someone could just get stuck in the water decided to swim out and take a look. There was a girl being 'helped' by her boyfriend. They were just floating around so I pulled them both to shore but it took a while and it was totally knackering. Still I couldn't quite see how they got stuck, but during the night there were stories of others being marooned too, which I didn't quite believe. Anyway 6 people drowned that (stormy) night, so perhaps there had been a tide or something. The first time I saw a dead body washed up on the beach the next morning and it looked like an action man.

Luck luck

I was about 14 and swopping shots with a schoolmate using air rifles. I was hiding behind a rusty old corrugated iron anderson shelter. His .22 pellet came right through a hole in the iron and got me between the eyes. I still have the pellet lodged in the orbit of my right eye.
One inch either way and it would have been goodnight and thank you

A tile fell off a three storey building and missed my uncles shoulder by about four inches - it smashed his fkin head in
