OW OW OW I burnt the shit out of my hand

Next time, foot, forget the cold compresses. Fill a bowl with ice. Add water to fill in between the ice. Plunge your hand in the bowl. Take three ibuprofen.

It's gotten me through a couple of nasty burns.

Ok Brits. You call a flashlight a torch. So what do you call a torch - like what foot used to BBQ his fingers?

A torch of course!
We bin around longer than you New-Worlders.
We use OLD words.

Actually Americans often use older words. Fall (as in the season), and garbage come to mind. Not used here now.

I used one of those frozen gel packs until it melted, then I put the burn gel lidocaine stuff on it. The next moring all the pain was gone. The first major blister broke last night after washing up after a marathon brewing session. There are a couple of other blisters beginning to form.

I'm surprised it wasn't painful after the first day.
