Well.
I have no tonsils any more, because when I was five I started throwing up everywhere all the time and dropped down to about two stone. Is it true they don't take tonsils out any more?

My nan lost the tops of three of her fingers in a cutting machine where she worked. No safety guards, no insurance in those days. She just wrapped her hand up and carried on.

My dad only has half his top front teeth, the very front ones grew but not the next ones so he just has eye-teeth next to them. Not as bad as one of my friends though - half his teeth just... weren't there.

My first driving instructor only had half a thumb and I never found out why. I'd like to think there was a good story behind it but he was fairly boring so probably not.

I lost a thumbnail when I slammed a car door on my hand a couple of years ago. The nail grew back but it has a dent in it now.

I also have a false corner on one of my front teeth that I knocked off when I was 11 falling off my mum's bike. I now live in fear of it falling off like it did last summer the day before I went on holiday and a creepy dentist had to fix it in case I 'scared off all those Italian men'. Never mind that I looked like I'd been in a fight and just wanted it fixed, the minute I came out my stalker's mum, who is friends with my mum (he thinks we should be best friends because our mums are, and is a total freak), appeared and said he wanted to meet up. Not a fun day.
