Watch channel 20 (Drama) and Bergeracs on at 9 am! Better than scumbags screaming at each other!

Same here- had a wheel/caliper interface incident last week with an Aston DB9, which ended in me having my left hand operated on ,on Friday. I've since watched the entire Auf Wiedersehen Pet from the first to the last. The 75 has been bombed by seagulls and is annoying me by being dirty, I have a campervan to finish and I'm hungry and gave up trying to make a nice sandwich.. Feel useless and can't even tie my shoelaces or do up my belt.

Hope you all feel better soon.

I was down the scappy two weeks ago with MarkS, I ended up getting glass in my eye. I've had 3 visits to the eye hospital and can thankfully say I am now on the mend.

I've now ordered several different pairs of safety glasses, all I need to do now is... remember to wear a pair each time I do something similar.

Does clumsiness come with age, or am I just unlucky?

I find that folk seem to break windows in the scrap yard for no reason,making it more risky for others stripping parts after them

sounds nasty,lucky you ain't done no permanent damage there to your eyesight.i never mess around with bodyglass anymore except if it's just an electric window or summary that just needs taking.
