Angle Grinders are for men
Safety glasses are for poofters.

Or so i thought as I was happily angle grinding various channels in the kitchen brickwork that would soon accomodate electrical wiring. Noisy and aggressive things that they are, it was making short work of the brick when all of a sudden a tiny speck of brick fired out and hit me on the cheek. it stung like fuck and it was this stinging that prompted me to reach of the poof-goggles. Yes, i backed down in the face of a maiming and donned the plastic eye defenders.

I was also wearing a dust mask, because they are also manly, and i could ease the boredom by pretending to be at an early 90's disco-rave. The thing was, the mask and the goggles were not good bedfellowes., the goggles didn't fit snugly onto my nose because of the face mask and my rapist like breath would escape up through the top of the mask and steam up the gay goggles.

So i am persevering, when all of a sudden there is an audible sizzle as yet another piece of fucking angle grinder driven brick meteorite ricochets off my cheek, up through the gap at my nose where the goggles met the face mask and right into my eye. Blinded, panicking and in control of an angry angle grinder my mind suddenly remembered the story of the chubby faced travel reporter, martin roberts and how his dance with the grinder ended in him nearly losing an arm.

Anyways, i set the thing down and gingerly opened my eye..sure it was red, sure it was angry, but it was still there. i went out the back for a marijuana break and finished up for the day.
