beware of fans......
Never put your fingers near a running fan - I am writing this from my hospital bed at the Leicester Royal Infirmary..........
Yep , I got too close to a fan that I thought might have been running the wrong way - the result is three chewed fingers , one of which I may lose the
end of . I won't know until the morning , when the surgeon gets busy on it ..........
Its cuz I is blond , innit
Claire xx
Will weld for food......

We all think it will never happen to us - unfortunately it still can.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery & hope you don't lose any bits along the way!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names

Loosing the end aint too bad try loosing 3, if they need skin grafts or are gonna scar on the backs,ask them about setting them straight while they
heal as the skin heals to tendons because your muscles are stronger to close the fingers than open them.
I always use a peice of paper on the non fan side see if it sucks or blows away

I thought a member of your fan club had been stalking you Claire  There's a lot of nerves in fingers so they really hurt. Hope it turns out
alright for you not too much inconvenience, a friend of mine recently cut 1.5 of his fingers off on a circular saw and now can't play his guitar
or the expensive tin whistle he just bought.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Best of luck for a speedy recovery.
Guess it will act as a warning to us all - we know reciprocating parts are dangerous but it's easy to become complacent.
My old man was an aero-engine engineer during WW2 and all but paranoid about that kind of safety and NEVER wearing rings etc. when working on
mechanicals!
Make sure you let it all heal properly before picking up the spanners again.
Cheers, Pewe10
