Never even broken a bone
I was convinced that Ms Foxtrot and I were going to be horribly murdered by psychopaths when she signed us up to do that charity hitchhike to Morocco a couple of years back, but was spectacularly mistaken. Amazing just how generous people are prepared to be to complete strangers.

I was quite shocked to discover that of my housemates, only one had broken a bone before the age of 25
I thought I was doing OK in that I've only ever broken 4 bones in my life.

At 38 I've never broken a bone nor had a filling.
I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings*

I love that song.
It was the theme tune to the sub-par highlander series that I also loved.

Come to think of it, I had to have a tooth removed because it was utterly borked
Does that count?

You really must insist that "Prince Alberts" are removed prior to comencement of fellatio

That's why I don't have my tongue pierced any more
Ever since the unfortunate "connection" I made with that chap

I had a filling that wasn't fitted properly
As a result, things were able to get in down the side of it, rotting the tooth below.

Discovering this as the drill bit jumped down through the filling into knackered tooth was not very pleasant.

Possible hairline fracture of a toe as a child.
Otherwise, apart from a few minor scars I and undamaged. And I am a clumsy flid.

Crushed/broken humerus, broken tib, fib and metatarsal.

Well, you're either more fliddy and clumsy than me, or more fragile.

The humerus was done by my falling out of a tree on my Dad's 50th
I don't think he was too pleased at having to spend hours in A&E on that day of all days.

The tib & fib was as a child, sliding down the stairs. Still not entirely sure how that happened. (I was only 18 months old, after all)

The metatarsal was done when I was running for the bus, and brought my foot down on the corner of a raised paving slab.

so, some fliddery, some fragility and some bad luck then.

Well this make up for you excessive and un necessary youth.

I have experienced this too.
But it only seems to apply to foreigners. in the same circumstances the English are unhelpful cunts..

I dunno
5 different people stopped to help us get from Norwich to Portsmouth. One bloke took us 3 miles down the road just because where we were trying to hitch from was completely unsuitable.

Getting lifts in France was remarkably easy though, stereotypes be damned. One of them even fed us. Shame they have no concept of vegetarianism over there.

OK fine
the English Londoners.

I do generally find foreigners more willing to go out of their way to help you, even when you have only a rudimentary and childlike knowledge of their language, than I would expect them to be in this country.

I can't argue with that
