Missing body partsNow there are some bits of your body you don't mind losing - my dad's just got rid of a kidney stone, my own tonsils once tried to asphyxiate me, and nobody wants warts.
Other bits are more useful - a family friend recently lost an arm... which would be OK if his job wasn't managing dis-armament talks.
What have you lost, and where did you leave it?

toenails again and againfirst time was when i stubbed my toe moving a bed, that just went black and manky then fell off. Then this time last year just as it was getting back to normal I was doing a cartwheel in the road coming back from the pub, in flip-flops and twatted my toe on the floor. Cue lots of blood and saying of ow.
Over the course of the next week it got to look pretty manky and was obviously infected, so it had to come off.
So I went to A&E at the new UCH and got my friendly surgeon dude to whip it off for me, the most painful bit is the ring block where they are anaesthetising your toe by putting local anaesthetic through a needle at the base of the toe on either side. then he grabbed a pair of pliers and just yanked the fucker off. Because I'm a sick bastard and a medical student I took a picture straight away.
apologies for length and the fact it's dripping with blood, it's your first time you say?
