Damn - looks like I've borked it!

I "drove" my mobile coffee unit into the corner of a wall yesterday, big chuck of plaster came off, exposing the metal corner

I think you will find the correct wording is either someone moved the wall or it jumped out infront of you (well that seems to be the way that car crashes are explained!)

think i have an old disc from zen 24gb you could have - would that be of any use or does it just install software on puter

I have the 32gb Zen.
Lovely little machine.

Works does it?

Many thanks - a very kind offer, but the disk's fine. It's a frustrating software loop. Anyway, I haven't given up yet. Much fettling still to come.

I once managed to reverse a quite-new car into another quite-new car. This did not enhance my popularity...

I once managed to rip a warehouse fire sprinkler head off with a forklift. The duty maintenance man was on lunch and had the keys to the plant room. It's amazing how much water one of those things can pump out in an hour.

A Fiat 126 at an indicated 85mph on the Stanningly bypass. It was worth it to see the face of the XR2 driver that I over took immediately before the half shaft fell off and a fortnight before the big ends surrendered

The front suspension on a 1980's beige Fiesta going over the hump back bridge at Foston near Driffield.....

I almost bricked a phone once whilst trying to unlock it to all networks. Saved that in the end though.

The only other thing I can think of is when I tried to replace a failed head gasket on a Toyota Celica... Did the job and only found it was still buggered when a potential buyer unscrewed the expension tank and found a mass of mayo in there lol

Needless to say it got scrapped the next day.

I remember working in a chemical warehouse many years ago, there were several showers dotted about the place, one day one of the temps managed to demolish one of the showers with a forklift, at that point we realized no one knew where the stopcock was, by the time we found it there was an awful lot of water swilling about.

A further mega bork of mine was when I was a tractor driver for the Co-op and the tractor that I was driving crashed into a support column inside a greenhouse bringing down around four hundred square feet of glass.

When I say driving, I wasn't in the tractor at the time. I'd been pitched out of it when I caught the gear lever with my foot as I was getting out and the tractor lurched forward and continued under power and I was entangled in the twine system used to train tomato plants along. I escaped serious injury and had a few small grazes on the palms of my had as I shielded my head.

I once dropped a 3 day old iPhone into a cup of tea. It was on the arm of the chair, and the arms on this particular chair were round... gravity took hold, bounced off the seat (where your arse goes) and straight into the mug on the floor. I couldn't have planned it if I tried. I put it into a cup of rice for about a week, stripped it down and cleaned it, the screen was left a bit dicky - but I still managed to get 75% of the cost back through selling it on eBay. I then had a new iPhone, and was banned from putting mugs of tea on the floor (which is stupid anyway)
