Just had a slapstick moment.

Bent over to empty overflowing bin in a bad temper, as no one else does it, and in my anger, dislodged a full size leg of Jamon Serrano we’ve bought for Boxing Day as hosting family. It hit me on the head and now I’ve got a bump. Jamon is luckily ok.

It got me thinking. What’s your funniest Christmas injury?

I blame myself for trying to be flash buying a jamon. The universe is punishing me for not just doing a turkey curry.

My minor injury was yesterday evening when my favourite clothing shop's sale went live. I went jurrying for my laptop which was stowed in my lovely mid centrury sideboard. My forfinger got caught in the nice little wooden handle. I somehow coped long enough to make my sales purchases!

That’s God telling you to use plates.

I have to agree with this. No grazing boards for me, with their stomach heaving overlappingness. Everyone reaching in and peeling stuff apart with big greasy fingers🤢

I don’t have a Christmas one @SlapstickChristmas, but I have a ham one!

Half way up a mountain in Montenegro I pulled over at an empty viewing point. Got out of the car, wandered around looking at the view and suddenly walked headfirst into what I thought was a floating rock…

Turned out that the ‘empty’ viewing point was not in fact empty, but had a wooden hut with big dry cured hams hanging from the edges all around the roof- somehow I had failed to see the hut or the 20+ massive buggering hams hanging from it! Nearly knocked myself out on the damn thing.

I was once knocked off my motorbike by an entire frozen sheep.

After the Jamon hit me, it was followed by the large grazing buffet board I’ve bought.

That’s God telling you to use plates.

Middle class? I’ll give you middle class. I grated my thumb on my new micro plane grater whilst grating the truffle Dd brought me back from France.

Not me, but DP did manage to trap his head when he was closing the loft hatch after getting the tree. I didn't laugh..........much.

HerRoyalNotness · 23/12/2023 15:14

Unpacking a small tree for DD I reached up to put it on the mantel. The base wasn’t attached, it fell off and landed on my big toe. Black and blue and I believe I lost the nail.

You should really now watch Jamón Jamón OP. I haven't seen it for years but I'm sure there's a duel involving legs of ham.

And to make matters worst there’s no effing fresh dill for love not money for my salmon and cream cheese canapés.

Shit, I forgot to get any dill!

Have a medicinal Baileys. You're probably not concussed :)

Tiffanysepiphany · 23/12/2023 17:33

Your local Eastern European shop will have loads of dill, if you have one.
