That looks nasty Al,have had a couple of arguments with an angle grinder over the years but.....those injuries are a bit tasty! any words of wisdom from mother yet?

None really... everyone at her knitting group thought the ambulance was for her

I mean

Or was it

[terry paget]

Phew! Glad you're OK Al. I'm sure you are are a cautious individual, but we all take the odd risk.
In 1999 I was changing a 40" guillotine blade (I'm a printer). It's a job I had done a hundred times before, but this time I managed to drop it on my left thigh. It made a huge gash, blood, tendons, etc., I was working alone, and presumed I would die. The leg had gone rigid, I was still standing up, incredibly I managed to strut 3 yards to a phone before I fell over. I rang 999, A&E, surgery, recovery.

That would smart a bit

Looks pretty nasty.

You were clearly no oil painting before the accident and now..........

A close shave.

I worked with a chap once who had a massive scar that went from his belly button all up his front, up his neck and the side of his face.  It was caused by a 9" angle grinder that 'kicked back' when he started it, dug into his stomach and ploughed a nice furrow all the way to his head, narrowly missing his jugular on the way!!

Now that was lucky mind you, recovery must have been horrible after that...

Hey, just call it a dueling scar, there be dozens of women fighting over you then.

Interestingly, I was given the same advice for the chisel scar under my eyebrow.


Interestingly isn't the right word: wrongly is more accurate

Always providing of course that it was dark and he wore a large hat.

I reckon the angle grinder story is BS and the truth is that he got a 'Glasgow kiss' !
