Title: 'this clothing does not enable the wearer to fly'
Post by: nickliv on September 05, 2008, 12:48:53 pm
On monday I was on the roof of my new (monster) garage, and I went to step off it onto the ladder.
The ladder moved, and I went on a 3 metre freefall resulting in 2 badly broken wrists.
The amb ulance and hospital staff were excellent, and I now feel like a moto GP racer with plates inthe left oen, and pins in the right.
In a bit of pain, but the worst thing is the helplessness of it all, my poor wife is being fantastic, as are the kids.
Hopefully things will mprove over time, atm typing is one of the few things I CAN do.
At least people can't call me a w**k*r anymore ::)
I hope this is the last tale of woe to hit CA for a long long time.
Cheers

The bum has been behavng itself thus far, due to the iordinate amounts of opiates I've been ingesting. I am bracing myself for the 'big one'. I've got a 'bottom wiper' (A hinged bit of plastic that you cram the bog roll in) I'm not holding out a great deal of hope.
I will, of course let you all know in graphic zarse / big H style detail.

Well done Nick. Work at Heights Regulations (2005) strictly adhered to no doubt.
You could always use the bidet!
A little light reading ;D Work at Height Regulations (2005) (http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2005/20050735.htm)

i did a 'ghost poo' - i could swear i felt it burrowing out with its tungsten tip, and i heard it enter the water like a dead fish hitting the surface of a stagnant pond, but when i checked, there was no evidence within the bowl.
bum wiper works ok, but i do wonder how to get the bog paper off without erm, what's the word, ah yes, smearing.
i can happily report that i can flush the bog with my foot. Ah the dignity.

You first class nugget!!!
PS I'm on diazepam and coedine at the moment as I've been pretty much bed ridden and in exquiste agony with a bad back. I can see why heroin addiction is all the rage with cool kids; a few sharp whiskys and a handful of opiates and there are carrots growing on the wall in between the tennis raquets and the turtles. The only problem with the opiates is they seem to be very "moreish". Get well soon mate!

silly boys...be careful with your drugs, when i got hit by one of the rouge fireworks the nice (horrible, fat and nasty man) doctor gave me some lovely drugs, only i don't like taking them unless i have to, so still had quite a stash saved up, well i did have till rex found them....apparently they're rather "fun"....

Nick, that was a silly thing to do, the NHS must be working miracles getting you back typing so quick or is it by finger and pen held between teeth. (thats how I learnt)Still doing it that way, my driving is better though

Hmm... this all makes me sound like some sort of Junkie...ps i'm guessing you meant rogue firework. as opposed to a french red one ;)
Claire's prescribed tablets were Codine based and were a very good hangover cure, they also had an "interesting" effect when taken with beer and spirits. Mother PP said much like a Purple Heart taken with neat Gin ??? Not sure what she meant....?
Anyway... having seen your health and safety policy, risk assessment and unusual powder mixing skills at LM this year.... falling off a roof and breaking both wrists appears to be rather light in the injury stakes compared to the ghastly burns you could have suffered! Metal melts at a rather higher temp than face!
Anyhoo dude... get well soon and look forward to being able to .... again, unless the Doc has given you an impliment for that too? ;D

Very suspect, but like the way you're thinking.
If he was pissed out of his head you could understand it (it wouldn't have hurt). So he wasn't under any 'influence' except getting a job done. Which in this day 'n' age aint the way to go. :D

Nick Nick Nick....what have you been up to dear boy??
If it's any consolation, the old man has done a couple of stupid things like this - fallen off of a ladder (which collapsed, apparently because it moved - for moved read buckled under the weight) - Fallen through the ceiling and got stuck (I was particuarly un-popular with this one, as he was sat there for 25 mins because I couldn't hear him yelling) ....However fortunately, he's never been stupid enough to actually break anything!
If you're on morphine, make the most of it, If you can't hear the kids screaming, they're not (or at least its not your problem if they are!)

After a week of my whinging, Lady PP got so fed up with it that she made me a doctors appointment :o
Nothing like Nick's stunt but the result of a very lively Sunday nite at PP Towers with Steve Zarse and a bottle of "Special" JD, Jeager and Grey Goose Vodka.
I took a bit of a tumble or two and have been lame since, horrible knee pain etc.
Turns out to be tendon damage but not serious enough for physio. Shame, as our local physio is a hottie according to my mate who has repetetive DRI :(
I would say lesson learned.... but that would be a total lie. DRI (Drinking Related Injuries) are an occupational hazard... my knee brace thing is shite but helps.... and at least I'm not like my mate Sid who lost an eyebrow after massive refreshment in the wrong company the other weekend >:D (and had more horrid things done to him that cant be described here!)
Learn... never! >:D >:D

You poor unfortunate. Hope it all heals well. But just think what it would be like if you were at Le Mans in this condition, attempting to ablute and clean up in one of the long drops, with a plastic bum wiper and no paper. Be thankful for small mercies....

The term you're looking for is UDI - unidentified drinking injury
And for the rest of you, I can co nfirm that I no longer require the services of the ineffective bit of plastic :) And no, I'm NOT man flossing with a towel. ;D ;D
