For the uninitiated, a forbin throwing unit, is what us Westerners call a Plasma cutter. Good Chinglish , Wang King did well with that translation. Anyway, I digress..
So, I finish the first dance with compressor still imbedded in my leg and show her to her new quarters. Manage to escape her clutches and decide its probably not a good idea to look at my leg. There is a gaping hole in my jeans just above my right knee. Not much pain at this stage, still got something to look forward to then.
Anyway, seeing we have already been pretty intimate, I figure it would be grossly unkind not to finish what we started. So I turned her on and raced her motor.... surprisingly quiet. Makes pressure fairly quickly. Didn't go wild as the wiring is all perished,and as of yet,the tank is untested. So a result. Time to go attend to the limpage problem. OH look , what's that? It's a dead wasp lying between the cast iron fins on the compressor head. Oh, ok, I will put him in the bin . WRONG. It's a wasp that has just been rudely woken up from hibernation ,by having his testicles toasted. If someone woke me up by toasting my testicles, I think I also would be slightly more than,"not amused". So, I get, "Take that", as he stings me on the finger....
This is gonna hurt...part 2.....

Sorry, sorry. I've finished work for the day and just having a cold one. That last one nearly made me waste some, if snorting down your nose for recycling can be called waste. Brilliant.
Following Chinese nomenclature shouldn't the correct name be King Wang? Or is this giving him way too much credit?
I assume 'Forbin Throwing Unit' is actually Chinglish for 'Handle With Care'?

You make me laugh.
Recycling with a whole new twist.
Maybe it was meant to be telling you you leg would be for throwing in the bin after blunt trauma amputation?
Permutations of message permitted?

I hate wasps. Was splitting wood (not a calloqualism) at the weekend when a wasp suddenly appeared. Strange, said I, and swung my axe again. Mmmm... another wasp. Very odd, swung my axe again and as the log split I realised that it was hollow. Well apart from the wasps nest, which was now empty, as the wasps were now chasing me into the house.... Toasting their nuts is the least that should be done to the hateful things.... Please continue. P.  |

I shouldn't laugh Johnny, but I'm afraid I did!
Hope the leg's not too bad, and the sting's calmed down.

Could be it was the manevolent spirit of a murdered surface grinder that pushed the compressor - more to come I think.....

Wasps wouldn't be so bad if they made somthing useful, like jam. Bees sting as a last resort wasps i swear sting for fun, sons of unknown farthers.

By this time I was in,shall we say, a bit of discomfort. I locked up and,doing my best ET phone home impression, waddled up to the house. Couldn't remember standing in any puddles, but my right foot was squishing around much better. Great! A shoe full of hydraulic fluid. Leak must be worse than anticipated..
Here in lies a problem. I am the master of timing,mostly bad. My wife and son were up in London visiting her brother for the weekend. With it being half term, she had taken a couple of days leave,and on the Friday she had the carpet cleaners in to clean the carpets. They still were not 100% dry. If she came back to bloody hoof prints all over the carpets, up the stairs to the bathroom, amputation at the neck would be a less painful option . So I sorted that problem out and went upstairs.
In retrospect, I probably should have gone to A and E. But I didn't. I cleaned the hole out and filled it up with Betadine, which is an iodine based disentectant/ antiseptic cream. Once I had climbed back through the roof and the pain had subsided to a manageable level, I put a dressing on. Also realised that iodine must be the same ingredient in Essex girl tan. Was tempted to smear it all over my face and hobble down to the chippy and ask ,"alma chizzit for a caught a Panda?. Wiff chips." Decided against it as I figured the neighbours had already had enough of a spectacle... "Reginald, do you know the man across the road is standing in his garden, jeans around his ankles, watering his garden?"... How else,but with the hosepipe was I supposed to wash the blood out the hole above my kneecap,my shoe, and off my foot? Being 3c at the time didn't help either.....

She's picked up some fever. I'm hoping its unrelated to her mouth being full of stitches but not sure. Its a weird fever, comes and goes. She's in bed as I type.
I shouldn't joke (but I will, hell.. if trump can be president then how can I make things worse) but there is a manky old boat trailer out on our hoist which she is meant to be painting. I can see why her fever has come back...
