I cut my finger on a door at work the other day. I can feel the waves of
sympathy bombarding me as I write this, but it was quite a deep cut. I
ruined a handkerchief stemming the flow of blood. A cut finger is nothing
to scoff at. A friend of mine had his hand stomped on playing footbal and
recieved a deep cut to his finger. The ensuing infection spread to the bone
and he had to have his finger amputated. Blood poisoning can result from
the smallest wound.

I had to write a letter stating whether or not I would be claiming
compensation. I said I wouldn't be - yet.

Also - new flying post.
