That reminds me, I have a 2" scar on my left palm from a chisel which I was stupidly trying to use to remove crap from the back of a tile. Spent the night in Addenbrooks so they could stitch me up and check the tendons that I'd nicked.

I still have no feeling in part of my hand to this day.

The funniest bit was when the lad who took me to hospital feinted as the nurse looked at the wound.........he must have been 6'2" and he went down like a sack of spuds

Last one..........

Tiling a Marshall Vauxhall showroom in Ely a few years ago. Typical showroom job, large format tiles and endless mixing of PTB. Working nights so trade not interupted :yawn:

Anyway the 3 of us are inside when we hear this commotion and rush out to find some ****ed up local lad, on his way home from the pub, bent over one of our gorilla tubs honking his guts out. Turns out he was thirsty so he had been drinking the water out of the tub we where cleaning all our kit in and made himself pretty ill

He still managed to stagger off up the road and we never saw him again.
