    Was replacing our loo seat, ended up in A&E !

    I had a friend who worked in A&E. He said he saw a doctor fall out of a cubicle in hysterics. He looked in and saw a man, not with a seat stuck to his bum, but a with a chair leg in it! He said what made it hysterical was the paramedic holding the chair with the guy face down on the bed :shock:
