went to refuel, so as usual did the oil first... then using the filling system did the petrol.. all good so far..

[ad15]

walked back to the tree, started saw, then got a distinct smell of fuel.... i'd only not got the bloomin cap on somehow and tipped a whole tank of fuel down my front.. from just above the waste to my knees..]

[ad15]

so,,, figure that i cannot carry on as am covered in fuel, working on my own so didnt want to take any risks,,,, went to sit in on tractor and have a coffee.

 

 

then it all went wrong...

[Mozza]

I did that with some hedge cutters when i first started, Fuel all down my trousers, Burned my baws allllllllllllllllllll day

 

Never done it again tho

[ad15]

well guess mozza,, but it does get worse...

[Mozza]

They never actually set alight mate??

[ad15]

so as mozza said, after a minute it starts burning.... alot,,,,, so i'm in the middle of a 14 qacre garden with my nuts on fire,,,, nothing for it,, i rip off my pants and start pouring my water over my front to try and rinse the petrol off...

 

this seems to work,

 

however...

 

i'm now stood in the middle of these big beautiful gardens with pants and a petzl..

 

oh and due to the water i now look like i've pee'd myself..

[ad15]

almost there....

 

so,, i normally carry a spare pair of trousers but as i was not leaving the ground today i left em at home...

 

but then i remembered i had my waterproofs in the landy....

 

but that was in the public carpark.....1/4 mile away...

 

no need to say how many people saw me running the 50 in pants, boots and a helmet...

School boy error mate, Like i say, I did it years and years ago, You wont do it again now tho at least, Although i didnt get seen half naked in public when i did mine

[ad15]

glad it's not just me,,

 

 

the weird thing is i'm SURE i did the cap up,,, do they have a habit of not working sometimes?

 

a few old ladies got more than they bargained for when they went down to the woods today that's for sure...
