I regret to announce that around 20 hours ago, my right big toe was involved in a head-on collision with the corner of my living room door. Much to regret, and horrific feelings of pain, my toenail suffered fatal injuries. I tried all I could to save it. Soaking my foot in salt water allowed me to open up an elevator shaft through to the three floors above in the block of flats I live. I will have to give the lady in number 23 a knock to apologise for interrupting her bath.
You have just created bad memories for me, mine include having car doors (accidentally… well I hope) slammed on my fingers.
And yes, they do grow back (thankfully).

Which reminds me that my ex once (accidentally … well I hope) ran over my daughter’s foot and killed one of her toenails.

Losing a toenail is a sad day, especially for the toenail.
I only hope it got the send off it deserved.
Why was the lady from #23’s bath interrupted? Did you use her bath for soaking your toe in? If so i hope she wasnt in it at the time.
And they dont have to grow back; depends on the serious nature of the wound.

Offline I had to get one of my toenails removed as it was dead and had no chance of a recovery. I looked at it not too soon after the procedure to remove it – one of the most revolting sights i’ve ever seen.
How’s yours doing @Ron Nasty?

I read a couple of her books back in high school for the crazy soap plot twists, proto-AbFab nonstop namedropping and the dirty parts, of which there where many. Mostly she wrote about the trials of the rich and famous and their booze/champagne-soaked sexxxy shenanigans. “Hollywood Wives” was a fun trashy read. “Rock Star” invoked a pair of young friends from Knightbridge or Manchester or Liverpool or someplace who form a rock ‘n roll band in the early 60s and eventually become part of the sexy druggy music business. Others I never read include “The Stud” and “The Bitch”, the last of which I believe starred her sister Joan in the film version.
RIP!

Quite sadly, New York Yankees legend Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra has passed away at age 90. His exploits on the baseball field are often overshadowed by his persona as a loveable malapropism-spewing character, but there are some worth mentioning. During his 18 years with the Yankees, he was an All-Star during 14 of them. The Yankees have won 27 World Series championships – he was on 10 of those teams.
Nicknamed “Yogi” by a childhood friend for having mannerisms resembling a Yogi, he was also a beloved family man and military veteran having served in the US Navy including the invasion of Normandy on D-Day.
One of his most famous malapropisms was “it ain’t over until it’s over”. R.I.P. Yogi – it’s finally over.

There has been some debate about that – from Wiki article on Yogi Bear:
Yogi (Bear’s) name was similar to that of contemporary baseball star Yogi Berra, who was known for his amusing quotes, such as “half the lies they tell about me aren’t true.” Berra sued Hanna-Barbera for defamation, but their management claimed that the similarity of the names was just a coincidence. Berra withdrew his suit, but the defense was considered implausible and sources now report that Berra was the inspiration for the name.

Star of so many movies I loved across the years; especially the ones she made with John Wayne – The Quiet Man being a particular favourite.
Plus: How Green Was My Valley, Miracle on 34th Street, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Black Swan, Sinbad the Sailor and others.
I had a major crush on her when I was a teenager 🙂

Offline RIP, Günther Schabowski.
This virtually forgotten man played a huge (accidental) role in history. Those around my age grew up believing some things would never change: the Iron Curtain, the Berlin Wall, apartheid in South Africa, prisoner Nelson Mandela. Then, in just a few months, all these givens, they all collapsed before our disbelieving eyes.
Günther, much to the world’s and his own surprise, consigned East Germany to the garbage bin as he accidentally knocked down the Berlin Wall, and West Germany along with it.
Günther was an East German official. He was giving a rather boring press conference on the evening of 9 November 1989 when he was asked about travel restrictions, and the growing pressure by East Germans to be allowed greater freedom to travel abroad.
Clearly unprepared, he referred to a press release that was due to be released at 4am the next morning with lots of caveats about visas and it being orderly, and said, “Therefore we have decided today to implement a regulation that allows every citizen of the German Democratic Republic to leave East Germany through any of the border crossings.”
When asked when the new rules would come into effect, scrabbling for an answer, he said, without any mention of the caveats, “According to my information … immediately, without delay.”
East and West Germany ceased to exist in anything but name by the time the sun came up. A few weeks later some East Germans tried to rebuild the wall when David Hasselhof turned up to sing Freedom at the Brandenburg Gate. Freedom isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
The Berlin Wall came down by mistake.
Hip, Hip, Hooray!!! for that man!
RIP, Günther!

Offline NEW YORK (AP) – Andy White, a top session drummer in England during the 1960s who played on songs by Tom Jones and Herman’s Hermits among others and stepped in for newcomer Ringo Starr as the Beatles recorded their debut single “Love Me Do ,” has died.
White, who was 85, died Monday at his home in Caldwell, New Jersey. He died several days after suffering a stroke, his wife, Thea, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The Scottish-born White was recruited in September 1962 to help out on “Love Me Do ,” which became the Beatles’ first hit. Two versions of the song were released – one with White on drums and Starr on tambourine, and one with Starr on drums. The recording with White appeared on the Beatles’ debut album, “Please Please Me .”
RIP.
During Memorial Day weekend 2011, I went to Pat DiNizio’s memorial day celebration at his house that he puts on for the fans. This was shortly after the Smithereens put out an album of Beatles covers. The band played Love Me Do and I had the opportunity to see Andy White perform as a guest drummer. It’s a shame to see him go.
