Me. "Right oh."

*Changes flint, spills fluid gas a bit, checks flint, sets hand on fire*

Today I was building a large lean-to shed from some scrap wood a neighbour handed me for burning.
In the space of 5 minutes, I dislodged an unsecured 3" x 6" roofing beam, which hit my shoulder on the way down, narrowly missing my head, used the palm of my hand to slap/hammer an upright into proper adjustment, only to encounter a nail with the palm of my hand, then, removing said nail using pincers, have it explode at me and smack me on the forehead, just above my left eye (must've been a masonry nail).

At that point I retured for lunch and let the dust settle.

Also you reminded me of an incident 10 years ago, teaching a class. Being a science teacher I always had a gas lighter in my pocket. One daywhile the class were quietly working, I had been idly, subconsciously playing with it in my pocket. A few minutes later, I idly flicked the flint wheel when my pocket erupted into a ball of flame. The class was filled with the smell of burned arm hair all the way up my wrist, to the great amusement of 30 16 year olds. Sake.
 

SEEN

Was in small Cheshire town this afternoon. Step out of car to see black leather skirt and hat disappearing out of view having got out of car next to mine.. Think "interesting" - a bit OTT for these parts. Skirt goes into hardware store (!!).. Five minutes later I am in the Cancer Research charity shop.. overhear conversation at desk.. look round to spot Skirt/Hat talking to man at desk.. something sounds strange.. take closer look, 50 year old (approx) man..

So yeah, strange outfit, strange person - and dirty filthy car as well.

* anyone interested to know where to find this person can pm me for details of the "small town".

Girlfriend asked if I wanted to join her at a fancy dress party where everyone has to wear the traditional clothing of a Eurovision country while they watch it.

I've never said no to anything quicker in my life.

That wasn't in any way stupid.
