From what I have been able to work out, somehow 3 different tales have been mixed up.
Mick burnt his fingers is one.
I burnt a finger a few months ago by holding a tea towel in my right hand and removing a hot roasting tin with my naked, (can we say naked?), left hand, that's two.
And number three was about a haggis I put into a microwave for the recommended 20 minutes but having failed to remove the metal tags at the ends of the packaging, result was two overcooked ends of a haggis and it still frozen everywhere else.
However when a certain gentleman left us he was sober, I suspect though that he must have called in to a couple more pubs on his way home to have got the tales so garbled.
Ooooh, look what happens if you soak your head in a bath of absinthe!
