So, being hurt in the line of duty means you are entitled to a night of pampering. Right?

Pfft, more like mockery and the opportunity for The Loved One to tell everyone that I'd presumed to question his authority. That's how we roll.

It's rather appropriate in the lounge for the avian warning to postcede the injury. Well-timed and -said, Geoff
(also, Happy Birthday...sorry I missed it).

It could have been a little closer though, so it looked like I had tears of blood. Wouldn't that be cool? No...oh, okay. I'm a "wanker", you say? Fair enough.

Wait a tick...you're right...this crowbar is a Montsnmags Enterprises item! What the hell was I doing buying one of those?! Hell, I
wrote the "codicil". Gees, it's lucky I didn't send it up my nostril and through my sinuses into my brain (If anyone says "You'd have to be a good shot", I'm going to sulk).

No promises. My idea of protective footwear during household repair and maintenance is an old pair of Havaianas, so there's a fair chance something heavy and/or sharp will be trying to pass through some part of my body sometime in the future.

Sure, they rolled their eyes, but no-one gave you a :groan: and I think you at least deserve one. So...:groan:.

Well, blood=drama, and I'm all about the drama.

- Try to remove reluctant, hammer-abused, long coach screw from ex-fence upright.
- Have claw of crowbar slip off screw-head while pulling it towards you
- Profit!...Wait, what?

It's always a bad time to mention your fears on The Lounge. Here's another, just meant to show it's less about the dramatic blood, and more about the crowbar-imprint:

If my own mother never succeeded with her pleadings, there's a fair chance no-one else's will.
Cheers,
