The Stupid Thing What I Did Today

[NiceBlueWellies]

Eye? :?

[NiceBlueWellies]

Thanks. It didn't actually hurt for about 10 mins. Now it hurts like bu***rg. Guy

How are you now? 8-[

[Digsit]

A nice big sausage roll will sort out all that hurt Guy

[muky-kid.]

:shock: Yep done that my self once at DPGs garrage, took a chunk out of my thumb, the good thing was that it happened so quick it burnt the wound so it didnt bleed, bloomin deep though. Gloves well recomended next time. :lol:  :lol:

[Guy90]

PS You tell the kids it's not nice to laugh at other people's misfortune :lol:  :lol:

What about everyone else, who sees it when you have an "accident"? :shock:

My accident was entirely private underneath the 90 (until I wandered into the kitchen dripping blood :lol:  :lol:

Those wire brushes are lethal.
I'm still finding bits of wire everywhere.

:(

1/2 an inch burried into my chin was a piece of the wire from the cup brush.  If it had gone into an eye it would have been very serious.

Yup, spent most of the afternoon picking those bits of wire out of my overalls after feeling a prickling sensation in my (ahem) nether regions!

[diesel_boy]

well you could have a simpertheic mrs  like mine she is a nurse so if it aint hangin off she dont give out simperthy    (cant spell that word) then she would run a mile cuse she dont like blood  good think she works on a skin ward    lol

[laser_jock99]

Today I managed to fit a new steering idler arm, steering damper, rear shock absorber and a panhard rod drop down bracket to the Surf without drawing a single drop of blood.

Later on- when I was slicing up chillies for the curry I did the stupidest thing and put a chilli laden finger into my eye! It's still stinging now six hours later- but at least my body is still intact.

My mate Jim managed something worse than that.  He was welding a vehicle when a bit of weld bead dropped onto his crotch, and promptly burned through the overalls he was wearing.

This is why you should wear leather aprons, folks!

[Dangermouse]

or at least leather jockstraps  :roll:

Thankfully I haven't done it myself, but I've seen what a 9" angle-grinder to a person shins :shock:  :shock:

Chainsaws also leave nasty marks as well. Don't go near one with out the proper 'multi nylon layer' clothing

[WHITE WHULF]

Grinder slipped and took chunk out of finger  :cry:Guy

i buffed my knuckle down to the tendon before with a grinder,its amazing just how well insulating tape stops the blood flow  :oops:

I did something similar today whilst cutting floor tiles with a stanley knife - slipped and nearly sliced the top of my finger off!

I usually consider how big a job is by the quantity and severity of the cuts and bruises  

Simple job to do today, drop and refil gearbox oil on the disco, still managed to skin two finger when cracking off the drain plug

not as good as me taking the engine mountings & chains of the trialer,got my finger stuck between the mount & the spanner & had to put a big leaver in & wedge the mounting across  to get it out  :shock:  :shock:

still have scar from sticking blunt stanley knife into arm.and while grinding the head off a bolt on a s3 put my finger into the cutting disc cut through top of finger right in to the top fingernail

1/2 an inch burried into my chin was a piece of the wire from the cup brush.

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock: CHRIST. What kind of a club have I joined? I`m not sure which is scarier, the fact that your all really accident prone, the fact you all drive massive four wheel drives or the fact that I`m just as bad as everyone else here  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Guy......where are the pictures :twisted:

[beast5680]

imagine-him and mate fixing car mate smacks hand cutting it open so blood pours out, passes out on floor, brother looks at it passes out on top of him so now i had two muppets sat on floor trying to get them to come round

Luckily no, otherwise the 2 years driving a 101 ambulance would have been rather difficult, and I must admit it was good fun :twisted:

[TULL]

Its amazing how daft we all are once put a screwdriver across my eye would not take my hand away for 10 mins, plucked up courage infront of mirror, thankfully it had bounced across cheek bone splitting skin round base of eye, all i was trying to do was take saddle of my mountain bike.

Damm. Knew there was something I had to do before it was bandaged up :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Some people have no consideration for other's  :shock:

Just be careful, blood's a swine to get off the lense and will ruin your camera

Chainsaws also leave nasty marks as well. Don't go near one with out the proper 'multi nylon layer' clothing

It's not what they leave as much as what they take away . They rip 1/4 inch wide chunks of meat . 1 revolution of the chain and it's cut all the way through .
This type of wound doesn't bleed that much , luckily.

Now that you've come round I can share with you the knowledge that my wound is a little infected and has gone a funny colour. Doctor beckons in the morning.

I recommend amputation just bellow the chin  :twisted:  :twisted:

You need a nut splitter, it's an essential part of the Land Rover toolkit.

Hence the need to cut the radius arm off.

Guy

Got that fun to come soon, tret myself to an air powered saw.  Trouble is how quickly it empties the res on my compressor!

I might get one as well. Wonder if it is man enough though. Need to cut right though the radius arm between the bracket.

Guy

For those of us whos fingers still number 10, I quite like the air saw, but it's a bit poor if your compressor isn't the size of your car, then it's a beast.  What I was planning was to cut between the radius arms and the bracket, taking out the end of the sleeve and the bolt, which is seized in (only one of them, I checked today).  On inspection I see that this gap is currently full of rubber, now you can cut this with the saw, but compressed air is a precious comodity so I may resort to setting fire to the bush in order to remove enough of it to get in with the saw.
It's the front radius arm, so can you imagine trying to cut through that?
Good new is if I cut one side I may remove enough of the bolt for it to come out when I've ground the head of the other end.  Fortunatley it's so cold outside I'm wearing 2 boiler suites :shock:
