Bugger...

Just had some time in the garage, one of the jobs was to screw in some eye bolts in to the roof beam to hang various misc things. In the process of winding them in I dropped the screwdriver and it landed... Right through the Ginetta's Radiator... My language was fruitful...

Bad luck. I also used the same language while nailing up plasterboard to the bathroom ceiling. I drop it and the corner smashed a hole in the bottom of the bath.

I did consider that or trying to solder it, but it would alway play on my mind and it turns out a new one is only 30quid so order has been duly placed.

We all have these problems

mine two months ago, was putting up a new fence in the back garden, did not really need to move the big flowerpot with bush
thing in it, but did, and was blind as could not see over or round the bush, tripped on a fence post lieing on the grass, and fell right arm on to another fence post

Broken arm

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

I was just using the angle grinder to put some flat spots on my Jeeps shock so the mole grips would grip and ground a big flat into my spring compressor as well.

Hay ho.

Funny how this type of problem always seems to happen in slow motion ?

How true. I think part of your brain has already processed the outcome before it happens.
