Is he hoping to be in the running for next year’s Darwin awards?

Proof that natural selection is at work :okay:

I deal with a few migrants who had jobs like this; one worked casually on a road gang for 40 years, hoping to be picked up each morning, no wages if he wasn't. In that situation when the boss gives you a hammer and points you at a wall, you do as you're told.

It oinly proves that if the Darwin award is received (note that a proper Darwin award can only be give to a recipient who dies without procreating).

I did a NEBOSH safety course years ago. The instructor had a few pictures of potential H&S disasters which had you thinking that other members of the species aren't quite firing on all thrusters.

I keep several suits plus a pair of 'nice' shoes at work along with emergency shirt/underwear just in case I forget anything.

Along with a few paper clips, biros and site PPE, my office drawers are full of spare T shirts, socks etc just in case of that deluge etc...even have a couple of towels and the one necessary item...spare trousers. I have a niggling fear of forgetting my trousers and having to spend all day in my cycling shorts.....Once actually did happen, thank goodness for George at Asda :okay: . I sometimes think half my wardrobe is at work. And then there's that T-shirt you can't find to wash...oh...its in the office. Most of my commuting is with rucksacks with clothing going to and fro....:laugh:

I received a 99p refund from ebay for an item that was out of stock but not another £2.30 for the postage and packaging. I've only just noticed, nearly two years later.

Allowing for inflation you are now £79.43 down.

I wondered why the top of my head felt cold when I went to the shops this morning. When I got home I realized that I was wearing a headband and not my woolly hat.
I went out for a ride the other day and halfway round realised that the helmet that I could feel on my head was in fact only the Goretex skullcap that I had intended to wear under the helmet.

I was trying to trouble-shoot why our garden room sudednyl had no internet. I bought an Ethernet end termination kit to put new ends on, then consulted my mate who's in IT, and had waited a whole day for the things to be delivered before I finally realised......the cable had come out the back of the router. PLugged it back in and all was well. Rule number1: check the obvious things first :wacko:
