happened about 6:30 was at the hispital by 7:15 after one of us being under a freezing cold shower and the other under the hose in the garden. i feel real bad for ginge cos he got the worst of it. i escaped with my hand and knee where as his whole arm got it and the side of his neck

whats more crazy is that we fitted the pipe together tuesday and both agreed it shoud be fine. today it bit us in the ass.

so remember guys even if pipes with a proper bead are a bit more expensive they are worth it.

My arm is f****ng recking.

I feel bad because Ash feels bad, all that build time we missed.

The reason we got seen in less than a min is because Ash said "my mate is outside and his face is falling off!"

Morphine is great, third degree burns are not. Oh and coolent tastes like s***e

Ill be OK Im a rufty tufty solider!

Ginge.... you must be as tough as the army boots you wear if you,re more concerned about missing the build time

again.... wish you both well for the recovery process.

a harsh reminder to us all of the safety needed whilst building our cars.

Andy,

I’m not that tough, I was in s***e state when we got to the hospital laying on the bed shaking like a leaf with shock, two loads of morphine and Ash stood to the side with his hand under the tap passing me cold compresses for my eyes.

My eyes hurt the most, oh my god they hurt, just makes you think. I don’t ever want to go through pain like that again.

Ash nice driving mate, hope you don’t get a ticket, if you do I will go halves, and you still owe me for the car park at the hospital!

Ginge, i know what you,re thinking mate, but don,t think about what didn,t happen, (easy to say i know ).
in a strange way, at least either of you weren,t alone at the time, sounds like you both helped eachother, for that well done
