On a different note, I've just signed my waiver form for the Dirt Factory - all 4 pages. Riding bikes can cause injury or death stuff. Yep I know.

Back at work after a month off sick.

Desk a disaster zone

Need to make a 'to do' list methinks...

Sort desk out, being at the top of the list. Assuming you can find some paper to write on.

Edited to include correct post.

"In the period 2009-2010, Fourteen injuries from writing instruments(pencil/pen) were seen and involved the head and neck (9), chest (1), bladder/perineum (2), and extremities (2). Eleven children were admitted and eight required surgical intervention...."

Writing can be harmful to your health.

At school we used to play chicken with drawing compasses, using them like darts, stand approx 10 yards apart and see how close you can get to your opponents legs. I got "pierced" a couple of times and it hurt.

I also got a pencil stuck in my upper thigh , the point snapped off and remains there to this day.

Suddenly the sight of schoolkids playing on their phones seems less of a problem: at least they aren't actively sticking sharp objects into each other.

Very true , a lot less mess to clear up

It was quite an art requiring skill to ensure the compass point hit you first.

That'd depend on how it was thrown though. A bit like knife throwing.

A bit like knife throwing.

Correct.

 

[classic33]

Correct.

Quite easy then. Was it opened or fully closed when throwing?

They've kidnapped you, or are you still "asleep"?
