"Blinking Hell!" You need that like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

All joking aside I'm glad you didn't come off any worse. I've only got one decent eye so if I did that to my good 'un I'd be well and truly shafted. All that talk of patches reminds me of when I was a kid and I didn't find it very funny then. You don't get that many blind graphic designers, do you? Sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. Get well soon mate.

PS Knocks my 'thumb caught in chain & sprocket' story down a few pegs too...
