Well, where do i begin:lol:

 

Had my finger crushed by a wheel clamp on our TW150. Been in a rear end shunt with the boss between two council vans. And most recently, nearly lost a hand flail down a railway embankment. All lil things apart from my finger. Would have lost the tip if i hadn't pulled my finger out.

When I first started out and my ears where ringing from Mark Bollum telling me on Arbtalk that I had a lot to learn blah blah blah...

Now I was felling a cedar that I had reduced to a 'safe' size when I misjudged the hinge (blunt chain) and it fell not at 12 O'clock but at 9 O'clock...BLERK!

It grazed the gable end of the property leaving only a brown mark on the render and totally no damage.

I was so shocked at my incompetence that I chogged down to ground level ANYTHING for months afterwards.

Hmmm fence panels, sheds, bt lines, I impaled an Audi a4 through the boot with a sycamore stem, transit windscreens, threw a house brick straight through a shed Panel and into a conservatory window...... Ooh and you know that very last little slice you take of when tidying up a cut... That "little" disc flew off clipped the top bar on a green house and shattered every pane on the top row! Bad day! And obviously numerous cables and pipes tucked away in stumps
