Yep, some of those hoses look distinctly short...
You'd have to be seriously stupid to stick an important part of your body in one of those, wouldn't you! One look at it and you'd know it wasn't a great idea ...Yep, some of those hoses look distinctly short...
Ho ho - that's very funny! (Maybe not for you though.)this is embarrassing
I had thrown my back out, coming off my downhill bike at about 40mph and kissing a small elm tree on the way by. Aside from the back aching, I was bruised up fairly well on whole right side.
After much ado.. I was finally in the tub, laying down, soaking in the hottest water I could stand..
the inane little 4-legged b**tard cat I had, decided to walk along the edge of the tub.. but wasn't bright enough to do it without slipping in...
he HATED water.. and as he landed on my groin, which was about 3 inches under the level of the water, he began thrashing and clawing wildly at anything and everything trying to get back out of the tub... it probably only took him.. 3-4 seconds to get out.. but he had scratched me to hell in places never designed to come in contact with cats claws..... of course, I tried to sit up very quickly, further hurting my back, so I was now trapped in the tub, in agony from both spasming back, and my entire mid-section having been scratched to ribbons by the cat. .. Was an hour before I could get myself out of the tub..and sorted out.....
.. bloody cat.
You were doing this all wrong, Kestevan. Let Lister show you the correct way of making chilli (at about 01:55).With the exception of my mother, I'm the most accident prone person I've ever met. I think I've managed to break or dislocate every bone in my body over the years by doing stupid things.
The one that stands out however highlights the dangers of NOT doing DIY......
I was making a big pot of chilli. Now this entails the use of both sharp knives and hot pans, so for normal people the dangers are obvious... pah amateurs, you need to think outside the box....
I'd prepped all the ingredients and was looking for the chilli powder. I'd just bought a nice big 1kg bag of this from the indian grocer, and shoved the pack up on the top shelf in the kitchen cupboard.
Now the shelves were getting on a bit, and I'd been saying for a while they needed to be cleared out and renovated, but theres always better things to be doing on a weekend than DIY. So it was that the laminate strip on the edge of the shelf had split and was standing up a bit. As I grabbed the chilli powder (shelf is above head height) and pulled it toward me, the laminate caught the plasic bag, and sliced the bottom off.
Course, at this point I was looking up just as it started to rain chilli powder. The best part of kilo hit me right between the eyes. This made me scream. This made me breath in the bits that werent in my eyes. This would have made me scream more, except all I could do at this point was gurgle.
The neighbours heard the screams and came running.....they found me on the lawn trying to rub my face off on the wet grass. The pain was unbelievable, it took days before I could see properly, and months before I could face another chilli.
I used to live half a mile from there!
Crag Bank playground never got as cold as them places but I did do this accidentally on purpose. At least twice.
But never with the fibreglass "kit" they supplied/dumped on us.
