bleeding does go a long way. I got mugged back in '94. Hit on head with iron bar or similar (didn't see it) .. 16 stitches & depressed skull fracture. Scared the shit out of my local corner shop, when I walked in with face covered in blood .. Said " Can you do me a favour & call me an ambulance". left big bloody handprints on the counter. The bloke behind the counter gave me a bottle of lucozade while i waited for the ambulance .. Hilarious now I look back on it .. jah p.
