I'm guessing, or perhaps hoping, you're not a brain surgeon.

It's damned difficult to wring out a chamois one handed.

Could be worse. There should be an 'in the wars' sticky.

I can relate to that occupation

You're not alone mate. only today i removed a pedal from a chainset not attached to a bike, the force needed meant the spanner just 'goes'. Leaving two dents in each finger as my hand met the chainring, no blood but really knacked!

Keep that thumb covered and clean, no mild green fairy liquid in it!

My Wife keeps saying 'If you're bleeding, it was a job worth doing.'

Not really a glowing reflection on my *skills*...

I should be kept well away from tools of all descriptions. Trouble is, once in a blue moon everything on a project goes swimmingly. This happens just often enough to make me keep trying and basically make a bloody (often literally) hash of things for the rest of things I try.

I'm currently in the kitchen trying to make random bits of wood look vaguely like a propeller.


I predict blood!
