Rebuilt two Blackbird shocks for customers.. which meant the first real test for the new Chinese diesel heater in the workshop
15 minutes is all it took to bring the workshop up from 5c to a temp I could happily work in ( about 14C )
Happy bunny !!

I'll avoid mentioning the rabbit........

I went to Specsavers, knocked on their door and told them who I am, are you here for a hearing test I was asked. I said “pardon”? He wasn’t amused. Anyway the lady who then had a look in my ears was rather lovely. No she didn’t btw.
I need a de-wax which will cost £55. Ah well, at least it gives me a viable excuse to be out and about again.

My right index finger has tourettes.

£55 to have wax removed from your ears..?

So they say, apparently the GP surgery doesn’t do it any more.

I was considering a knitting needle and a long bit of twine and floss through from left to right.

Must be great when you can plan them, mine normally just happen and I'm none the wiser until I wake up!

I've always found safety glasses work well.

I've always found safety glasses work well.

Sometimes safety glasses lull you into a false sense of security.
In the early 80s I was at an indoor range attending a ukpsa grading shoot, they had insisted on ear and eye protection being worn and I had invested in a new pair of tasco shooting glasses.
Rocking up to the line on the standards stage I was positioned to the extreme right and resigned myself to getting showered in hot brass from the rest of the chaps, good job I bought these I smugly thought, well how wrong was I, an empty case came and lodged itself between the upper frame and me feckin left eyelid, it was bloody hot, I started jumping around like a chimp on crack as I could feel me eyelid burning and couldn’t get the feckin case out for what seemed like a lifetime.
The RO blew his whistle and stopped the stage and on enquiring what was the matter had a look at me and said “you need to put something on that” a blister size of a marble had appeared, and all because of being trapped by the glasses.
So sometimes safety equipment transpires to being anything but .

Toilet breaks are very much the same for many on here .

Same sort of thing happens when you're wearing safety shoes, whatever you drop lands on the bridge of your foot not on your toes.

That’s cos people walk across bridges.

Safety shoes were mandatory in the garage I worked for, one day a gobby shite of an apprentice was taking the piss out of a panel beater - he copped a lump hammer in the toes for good measure. He then realised trainers weren’t the things to wear.

 

[Minkey]

Been onto Solicitor re house move, may as well bang my head against a brick wall.

It’s Sod’s law, all my working life has been spent in m/c shops trying to dodge red hot chips of metal coming off at high speed, if there was a way for it to go down yer neck be sure it would find it and tightening your collar would only result in it getting lodged between the collar and yer neck, feckin nightmare.

I was wearing them & a mask as well, the stuff got into my eye when I took them off, only a guess but I must have dislodged stuff from my hat glasses or mask that went directly into my eye .... not the first time it has happened either

I have never worn safety boots & never will (knackered feet & toes) a couple of places I have worked insisted on it but after looking it up I found its not actually law & they cannot demand that you wear them its only advice based on them covering their arse if you happen to lose a toe, what usually happens if you refuse with good reason as in my case is you sign a disclaimer accepting responsibility for foot damage due to not wearing capped boots, my feet couldn't be much worse so i am happy to do that
At the last place I worked that demanded company issued boots I ended up with 2 pairs of 10 hole docs non toe capped a year on the company coin

One that always bothered me & I have had many arguments about over the years in the building trade is the wearing of boots while roofing, its bloody dangerous as you cant feel where your feet are in big clumpy boots, I have always worn trainers when working at height much to the chagrin of many a HSE man
