Sloppy BBC reporting

What do you mean, 'reached it'?

Well without being too graphic - once I felt the pressure of the top pressing against my ring piece. I managed to react before any actual penetration took place and half twisted half jumped up.

Oddly I was coming out of the shower in a changing room once and sat down as I was talking and managed to sit directly on a bottle of shower gell (I think, something like that anyway).

It was amazing how fast I managed to bounce back up once I 'reached it'.

The Guardian also reported it as a delicate incident, why single out the BBC?

Delicate incident is ok but "delicate incident" isn't.

Anyway, my sister was a nurse and had to remove a can of Harpic from a bloke's bum. They had little narrow tin cans with concave bases in those days. Push it too far and there is no way you could get it out. Just as well it didn't leak, very acidic stuff.

Wonder if any soldiers have done it with hand grenades? And sure I'm not he only one to always confuse IUDs and IEDs.

PS Ah! The Mail does it properly. Impaled through the chest!

A mate of mine is a nurse. She has removed plenty of stuff from arses over the years. There was a bloke who came in with a deoderant up there. He claimed he slipped getting out of the bath and it was sat on the closed bog seat and literally went straight up. What are the odds on that?

I assume he just slipped and speared himself. Why do you assume its gone up his bum? Past form?

Though last Christmas my sister bought me a book of 100 photos of objects people inserted inside themselves. My favourite was a handgun.

Did you check the safety catch was on before sticking it up there?

everyone will assume he slipped up while attempting to insert the table leg into his arse.

Some unfortunate chap impaled himself on a table leg in his attic today. The Guardian quotes the ambulance service spokesman in full:



The BBC reported it as :



That poor bloke! Surely the BBC must know that if a chap is impaled in a "delicate incident" everyone will assume he slipped up while attempting to insert the table leg into his arse.

The Guardian also reported it as a delicate incident, why single out the BBC?

Anyway, there's no mention of him not getting a table leg stuck up his arse so I'm going with that.
