CHCB's Axe........reminded me of a guy I used to work with called Roger. He was a grizzly adams type feller, who lived in a rented cottage in north Yorkshire.
His central heating, such as it was, required the choppage of large bits of wood, for which he used an axe. One day he had to move the chopping block as there was something in the way, and merrily set about chopping wood.
Only this time, he had moved too close to the washing line. The axe handle, swung with brutish force, caught on the line and the back of the axe head hit him in the right eye socket.
He came in to work a couple of days later. I swear it looked like he'd been shot in the face. cracked his eye socket, scratched his pupil and looked like John Merrick for about 6 weeks.
Still makes me cringe thinking about it.
