I've already got #15, you bleedin' Alzheimist. I'll have a bar to it, shall I ... or perhaps that should be a spar ... ... I just looked at the bit of timber - 3"x3", rotten in the middle but sound at the ends. It wouldn't fit on the trailer, so I laid it down across the trailer and gave it a sound kick to achieve snappage. It went first kick (not a KH, then) as it was, indeed, as rotten as a pear in the centre. Sadly, it was sound at the ends - so as it snapped the longer piece dropped horizontally, the shorter piece that was over the trailer (about 5 feet long) sprang up and launched into the bridge of my nose, pretty much end-on. Stars, moons, blue tweety birds - the full works. Oh, and blud - lots of blud.[/QUOTE] LOL Have you got a YTC though? GWS you silly ****

Search for Pip in the thread: http://tinyurl.com/dartt Did you ever get the award for your LC story? If not, I think TOG should reconsider, cos what happened to you was hilarious.
Cab says... TOG didn't allow that one, but I got it for something else. I can't remember which one though, there have been several incidents of stupidity that have resulted in me being seriously injured.
The Older Gentleman says... Ah, the Jaguar XJ40 sunroof fitting incident. I remember now. I still have the injuries from that one.
