Nitrogen shock

Or faces that look like the owner swallowed something nasty.

 

I once set off an old airbag in my back garden

Nige,

Grand Cherokee (for winter)

 

Winding up the neighboring OAP doesn't count.

 

I once fired a petrol tank (unintentionally[1]) across the back garden.
It successfully wound up the over-the-back OAP, as his fence was the
victim - and my Mum, who he complained to.


1. I needed to braze it, so I'd done the 'vacuum cleaner on blow'
thing for ages to get the fumes out. Then I tested it by applying a
flame to the filler neck. Little 'whump', small flame out of the neck
- and off it went.

 

Are you taking sides?

Next time (Ha! purge the tank with exhaust gas from th' car. Works a
treat.

 

Can you not buy this person a CCTV camera / DVD recorder and have it
installed where he "works?" He could have a whole TV channel to himself.

 

When I first left school and went into the motor trade, some clueless cunts
tried "greasing" a new lad using a air powered grease gun. Hit him in the
thumb when he tried to cover his bollocks and injected a quantity. Not a lot
either, but the end result was he ended up some two years later having the
thumb amputated.

It never recovered from its "Blue balloon" state. He successfully claimed
damages but there's no amount worth losing a thumb for.
Indeed, but not *too* carefully eh?

Yeah, using a paint spraying gun to wash paint off your hands is definitely
not good, but HVLP is less likely to puncture the skin. Still not impossible
though.

 

Yeah, I know that /now/.

 

Get away with you. He'll provide material for some Ginger Tales from
A&E, he will.

 

What actually was the concept of the sprung hubs?

Having said that the Jag has a huge hidden battery isolator - 1960s DIY
car security - which is bloody handy for, er, isolating the battery.

 

Well, they're hubs, and ... they're sprung. Conceptuous!

 

Wotcha.

Sort of a stepping stone between rigid and plunger suspension. A sprung hub
could be retro fittied to a rigid frame. Then some clever bugger invented
the swinging arm and all was happy in the world.
