Nose + Carabiner Clip = Pain (oh and blood of course)
In a pointless attempt to reduce the size and flacidity of my moobs, I have for some time been attending a gym.

On and off.

More off than on admittedly, but the thought is there.

Anyhoo, one evening after a particularly grueling workout (ahem) I decided to chance my arm at the overhead pull down exercise machine - imagine a bar on a long wire attached to various weights...the aim being to sit down and pull the bar down from over your head to level with your chest.

All was going swimmingly until, after one pull down too many, I let me head drop forward and...as you can guess...the carabiner clip which holds the bar to the wire got caught in my nostril and ripped my nose open.

Cue the blood. Everwhere. In a public gym. There was even bits of my skin attached to the clip. NICE!

Didn't hurt at first, but when I could pull my nose apart (predator's mouth stylee) and see the cartilege beneath I felt a bit quesy. After a dramatic trip to hospital, an injection INSIDE MY NOSE then about six stitches, all was tickety boo. Still got a lovely line around the nostril.....
