OUCH!!!

[steve50]

Just had to call my lad down from his bedroom to put a dressing on my thumb,was cutting chips with one of these when the potato moved and the cutter skidded off and into my thumb. It felt like it had gone down to the bloody bone, I wouldn't mind but I only have partial use of that thumb after breaking my tendon a few years ago. I now have a very neat wavy gash in my thumb and it ruddy hurts
Maybe I should have posted this in the mundane news?????

Hope you feel better soon. At least you'll have chips to comfort yourself with. You could have been chopping carrot and coriander...

It's usually my Mrs that does the chips but she is working this evening so I am cooking tea for Andrew and myself, I think I was day dreaming when it happened, it certainly woke me up. It's throbbing like a throbbing thing now!!

" The oldest stone tools, known as the Oldowan toolkit, consist of at least:

• Hammerstones that show battering on their surfaces
• Stone cores that show a series of flake scars along one or more edges
• Sharp stone flakes that were struck from the cores and offer useful cutting edges, along with lots of debris from the process of percussion flaking

By about 1.76 million years ago, early humans began to strike really large flakes and then continue to shape them by striking smaller flakes from around the edges. The resulting implements included a new kind of tool called a handaxe. These tools and other kinds of ‘large cutting tools’ characterize the Acheulean toolkit."

What happened to you?

They were delicious, I had just cleaned the fryer and refilled it with fresh oil as well so nice golden brown crispy chips.
