Unfortunately I've ended up with a black eye due to an unfortunate accident (fell out of bed).

Anyhow I look a bit of a mess, swelling has gone down from last night when I did it but the bruising has come out quite bad.

Problem is I have got a job interview on tuesday at midday and dont think its going to give across a great impression.

Just wondered if the all knowing scoobynet had any tips for getting rid of it quicker than just leaving it.

Cheers

first thing you need to do is admit you have a problem at home....

were here for you mate.

seriously though.

black eye? bag of frozen peas mate wrapped in a tea towel.

Big a1

Did that last night, thought that just helped the swelling. Worth a try...gonna get some peas and a towel then.

simpsons !

Don't fall out of bed !


Seriously though frozen pea's should help, And if all else fails tell them the truth will raise a smile if nothing else comes of the interview. Bosses like honesty !

Mention an interest in local club rugby, say you got it at practice a couple of nights ago. This helps if the interviewer isn't a member of the club that you allegedly play at, it also helps if you know enough to bluff it.

Cider boy

Just tell the interviewer that you were out with your current boss and somebody tried to pick a fight with him, you stepped in and battered them, saving your boss, as that's the sort of dedication you show at the workplace

You'll not even need a second interview!!

Just say the last interview didn't go too well = may be they'll feel sorry for you?......

Good luck anyway. As said above just tell the truth. It's that or the leeches

ive heard distilled witchhazel is good at getting rid of bruising quick, but looks like your going to be using a cover up stick (make up) to be on the safe side me mate bought one when he had chicken pox just so he didnt look too stupid

Apply 2 or 3 leeches to the affected area! They will inject their salivary anticoagulant into the haematoma and suck it out. Just remember to take them off (by touching their *** with a lighted ***) before the interview. Hope this is of help.

Arnica is supposed to help reduce brusing, you can get it at some chemists etc. I haven't used it myself but some people I know have and they seem to think it works

New topic - 'where to get leechs from?'

Arnica sounds like a plan, see if I can find somewhere open 2moro for it.

Just wear sunglasses to the interview

Or even better wear dark glasses and bring a stick and pretend to be blind - you'll get the job for sure then, as they know they'll get sued for discrimination if they dont give it to you!!

Foundation trick?????????????????
No7 is good

you can avoid black eyes, by doing as your told

beemerboy

Turbohot

Cosmetic companies make foundation for all kinda skins BB.
I am sure BigA1 will find one for his complexion

Aaquil

Did you upset he old lady? I don't do that anymore...it hurts less. Cold compress like mentioned by other guys is the best as should reduce the swelling.

when you go to the interview pretend to have your face knocked by a door,
then they feel sorry for you and ...... wait for your promotion

Black the other one, and tell the interviewer that youve not slept for a few nights due to your revising for this all important interview, which means the world to you.

Or better still, go to the interview with a parrot on your shoulder, a crutch under one arm, shouting "Pieces of eight, pieces of eight."

Oh and wear a patch over the blacked eye, thats quite important.

F*cking PMSL Yoza man! You are really funny tonight!

StickyMicky

Keepin putting ice on it but to no avail, I have had a constant head ache since I did it 2.

Gonna try some of the old foundation on it later see how that looks.

yoza

If youve had a headache since you did it, I suggest you go to the Doctors in the morning.

Or A&E now.

Where you knocked out ?

Is your vision blurred ?

Are you feeling tired all the time.

Can you see bright dots or flashing lights ?

If you have any of the above I would go the A&E now.

did ya try arnica? It is amazin stuff - I came out of a pub once and decided to have a piggy back race with me best mate and the two girls we had been with. Managed about 5 paces with girl1 on my back before I fell over... fortunately I managed to not break my wrists by using my face to break my fall. Had a formal 5 days later, and Arnica had me looking good as new.


(Should I mention that I am now married to girl2 while girl1 was the bridesmaid? )
