Buggritt!
David Jenkins - 1/4/03 at 09:45 AM

On Friday I thought "weather's good for the weekend, I'll get some work done in the garage, sun shining in, etc."

On Saturday I wrenched my back somehow (just driving along in my real car!) and spent the next 3 days unable to do a damn thing.

I've now got to be careful for the next week while it recovers...

Damn!

I'm just back on my feet from a nasty attack of bronchitis. Added to the fact I spent the first part of the year working in Europe and the US I've done about 4 hours work on my car this year.

Frustrating or what?


chrisg - 1/4/03 at 05:45 PM

OW! OW! OW!

Sprained my finger now typing that!!!

You think you got problems, my tubular chassis has a engine, box, and rear suspension. My back has missing disks, cracked vertabrae, and pain. Doctor wants to put me out of action for 13 weeks! Flat on my face for 3months! Guess the car will have to wait!! To hell with a sprained finger!!


chrisg - 2/4/03 at 05:34 PM

Don't know how to break this to you but

I don't really have a sprained finger!

LOL

A statment like this has all the makings of a really good new thread to rival the scene from Jaws, where Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss are all on Shaws boat, and Shaw and Dreyfuss start comparing wounds and injuries.
Anyone care to follow on?

Puts my strained back into perspective!

Which, BTW, is getting better - hope to be working on the car this coming weekend...

Roy Scheider's character doesn't like boats or fish or water, what possessed him to take the job. Ruined an otherwise perfectly plausible film for me. Not!.

Anyway I've got a black toenail from a nasty stub. I got up to answer the door thinking it might be Kylie and I caught it on the coffee table. And it wasn't her it was fat ass Lopez defying her restraining order again, ruined my week.

yours, Pete.


jollygreengiant - 5/4/03 at 06:30 PM

There's nothing quite like self-inflicted pain. Got to work this mornin & got given a desperation job, somone ovewr filled this chaps merc with engine oil (bout 2litres). So I grab floor mat & rip off seat cover from roll on rail. TOTALLY mis-time my pull at the seat cover and SMACK. Punched myself full tilt in the NUTS. Its bad enough when some else does it to you. But to do it to yourself. God they hurt.

I once knocked my self out with a 4lb lump hammer.
Don't ask bit daft realy.


andyd - 5/4/03 at 07:08 PM

I can top that for stupid self inflicted accidents!

I have a number of hole cutters and they have a nut to tighten them onto the drill bit shaft. I was tightening with a large spanner (can't remeber which size) whilst it was attached to the drill, whilst the drill was plugged in, whilst I had my finger near the trigger!!

In order to stop the drill from twisting as I did the hole cutter up I thought I'd put a little pressure on the trigger as it's a variable speed one. Yep you guest it the spanner left my hand at a great rate of knots and twatted me right on the nose!

Lots of blood and a very sore hooter. Won't be doing that ever again! Why do we have to learn these things the hard way?
