As we are talking about welding misfortunes.
Try this.
Welding under the arse end of a ship from a painpunt (Dodgy floating ply box)
Some clever C*** decides to start deballasting.....
Within 5 seconds the punt was full, and going down like the Titanic.
With me and all the welding gear in it.
Needless to say I was not a happy bunny when I got back onboard.
Waited for the tide to go out, then made the t**t resposible crawl out in the mud and recover all the gear..
Almost worth getting wet,
just to see him up to his neck in stinking Thames mud, then getting washed down with the fire hose.
