Ohhh... you dumb sh*t!!!

[Apache]

Yeah. We're going for a walk after work, and will take in the Nags on the way.

If I had lost a limb, Matt would still be saying "Bah! pull yourself together man! Up here we have a spadefull of hot gravel for breakfast if we're lucky!"

Hot gravel. By crikey, we only have hot gravel on special occasions, and then only if we're really lucky.

Just look for someone with a bandage on their left index finger, and a black 'hilux surf' URL T-Shirt.

I will be wearing a white top / green collar with Rhodesia on the left hand side. Too warm to wear South African rugby top at present.

Christ. You sound like two blokes arranging a blind date with each other.

Thanks for your concern though.

Guess who spent til 1AM in A&E last night?

Could it be the first sticker-related injury?

I use a 600mm steel rule and a freshly bladed scalpel for any manual cutting I need to do, and last night I was working on a repetetive design of 24 stickers for someone and was separating the 450mm long bits ready for assembly wth said rule and scalpel.

I glanced up at the computer monitor to check the design mid cut, and then noticed a jet of blood across the bench (and into my face Vicki noticed later!) as the scalpel cut through my index finger about 2/3rds depth, stright through the finger nail up to the right of the first joint.

Damn those things are sharp!

Now my finger's glued and strapped back together, and the nurse is happy there's blood flow to that bit of my finger, and I await the joys of my nail staying in the dressing when I remove it in a week or so.

I shall be buying some aluminium angle this lunchtime to keep some metal between my digits and that blade from now on! Doh!

Hi Andy
Sorry to hear of your misfortune, But if it's blood money you wanted i'd have sent a bit more for the stickers.

get well soon

That would be a bit of an extreme way to get extra money!

I nearly cut the end inch of my finger off! I've been out today and bought a steel rule with a handle on it, and a raised edge. No more finger-cutting-off type events for me hopefully!

I did mine back in 1982 when the chain snapped on an old chainsaw with NO guard on it.

[KERRSURF]

[Retribution]

Christ. You sound like two blokes arranging a blind date with each other.

I'll be wearing a rose in my button hole, and standing underneath the station clock.
