Unhappy Omg
F**k me chaps, that looks real nasty

What pipe burst off Ash, was there an air lock in the system somewhere

Poor Ginge looks like he copped it big time

Hope you both make a speedy recovery, take it easy chaps, plenty of beer and R & R.

Wishing you both a speedy recovery.

Ouch!!!!! Hope you both recover soon, that looks very nasty indeed.

If you don't want to finish your build now (too many bad memories) I'll take it off your hands for £250!

Take care guys

Adrian

I'm with you Ash, after all the work I've put in, I'd sooner sell the house and live in the car!

Hope you both feel better soon.

Cheers

Adrian

Glad to see you are able to speak about it. Burns are horrific injuried, and Ginge looks like he got a right toasting.

Speedy recovery lads.

PS- Ginge, we want the gory pics

Sh*te, that's bloody awfull - and Ginge is still smiling. I had a few near misses after saying "that should do", you soon learn to not go by that philosophy. Nothing like that though.....I bet that really hurts.
