[Closed] Oh bugger. I've just fallen off a ladder.

was there a shampoo bottle underneath the ladder?

Nothing so exciting... Just the ladder.

ARGHHH

Luckily it didn't stick, so I don't have to ask an A&E nurse to pull an 8ft step ladder out of my 'arris.

Were you given the "wrong ladder"?
I'd definitely sue.

I was gutting my hedge with the ladder stood half in a flower bed. It fell over.

I'd sue my own ass if it didn't hurt so much.

I read the title as "I've just fallen off a labrador".

And wondered whether it was some sort of sorded, HTN voodoo sacrifice gone wrong.

"I was gutting my hedge with the ladder stood half in a flower bed. It fell over."

Gutting? there's your problem there, hedges don't viscera.:)

Where you adhereing to the WORKING AT HEIGHTS REGUALTIONS,did you perform and have the relevant qualifications and training along with a fully filled in risk assesment, written in triplicate and signed by your senior manager to show you where competent at working at height.Where you wearing the relevcant safety equipment.
Have you reported the matter to the Health and safety police.

Calling Tandem Jeremy to the forum please,union representation required...............

Gutting (typo) is actually how it turned out 😀

Proper H&S nightmare:-

Safety switch on clippers taped down - Check
Ladders on uneven surface - Check
Flex tangled round leg - Check
Ass bone very sore - Check

H&S doesn't apply to home. Thats why its the Health & Safety at Work act. (HASAWA), of which, working at heights is a supporting regulation.

You're allowed to be a tool as much as you like in your own home. 😈

Have you broken your coccyx or displaced your sacroiliac joint?

But was it Harrys home, was he getting paid for the work, did the ladders have a certifcate to say they where safe, was nay damage done to anyone elses property.

WE NEED ANSWERS. 👿

project, are you implying that Harry is some sort of fly-by-night rogue trader wildcat topiarist, stealing food from the mouths of genuine wielders of the black & decker ?

we should be told - seemed like such a decent bloke, too 😕

Falling is easy, its the landing that screws you up.

Don't believe you, spiders never fall.

I have a nagging feeling that i've busted my coccyx.

I'll see how it is in the morning.

A bit better this morning. Quite a bit of bruising and a split in the skin at the top of my bum crack. 😯

The hedge is going to need cutting down by about 3ft to avoid a repeat.

Harry are you related to Pook? He seems to pull 'wheelies' in carparks before rides and promptly on his 'ass far too often!

Sure you don't want to become a Yorkshireman?

Thanks, but no. Having my ass violated once is enough.

Evert time someone replies & puts the thread back at the top, it makes me think 'What?? He's done it AGAIN??'!!

And still no pictures, shame...

And still no pictures, shame...

Absolutely no chance! The wife wanted to have a look last night but I told her to sod off.

I fell off a ladder once, but I was in no position to post on a forum after it. 16 stitches to massive cut across my shin as the ladder slid 10 metres down the wall with me holding on, it hit the ground, I hit the ladder. It hurt, a lot, leg cut to the bone, bits of muscle sticking out, big scar now. I was lucky as it could have been a lot worse.

Went to casualty, and in triage the nurse had the cheek to ask where I was o their 'ladder of pain' - I said at the top but quickly slid to the bottom.

If our forces annex North Manchester I really don't think you'd have a choice. It'd either be citizenship or you'd be sent away to the Gulags of Doncaster for slave-labour and idealogical reflection.

Are you related to world class accident?

I suggest you sue your own ass - its the only way to be sure. That is if you can tell it apart from your elbow.

Congratulations on a piece of world class muppetry.

Hora, I have a picture of you in my mind...

Ah yes, you forget. He also has a bevvy of female bodyguards bristling with AK47's and Uzi's... I could have gold pork-pie emblemed-medals on my tunic...

Congratulations on a piece of world class muppetry.

In my mankini? You dirty old man

Not even close.
