Stompin' that nonsense
So. I have never been keen on powered saws. I've avoided using them since an accident when I was 16 when my dad nearly severed all the fingers on my right hand with a chainsaw (I've never let him forget that). Anyway. I've just bought a cheap circular saw from Screwfix because we have a project that I'll need to use it on.

What have you done recently that you think was a fucking stupid idea?

Wouldn't that justify me asking what you think?

I've got a mitre saw I bought to make picture frames
I am almost certain I'm going to lose a fingertip at some point

It's quite easy to have fewer limbs after misusing one of these fuckers
good grief, I really don't like the buggers.

It's really fun when an angle grinder or circular saw kicks back at you
really makes your heart go

good lord it would at this stage be far quicker for me to list the things I've done recently that I *didn't* think were a fucking stupid idea

Well as long as you didn't eat two and then run yourself over while being sick.

Fuuuuuuuck
Just got into work and found out one of the men has been killed. Only had the job for 3 weeks and got a container to the head.

Fuck.
What makes it worse is that I tried to click “reply” but clicked “I like this” instead with my fat hands. I don’t like this.

Hope you’re okay.

It's a bit of a...I don't want to say head wrecker
But it absolutely is. Just got off the phone with my brother, who worked with him. It wasn't a container, it was a 60 ton forklift of some kind.

Fucking hell, that's grim.
Any idea how it happened?

Not yet
But I've trained on forklifts, there's no way it should have fallen over, unless he was going too fast and tried to turn, or if it wasn't properly loaded

forklifts are definitely something you want to be on and not under
i've also got a forklift ticket, well, expired obvs.

I came {this} close to cutting through my leg with an electric saw
It was terrifying. I laughed out loud when it happened, which I'm pretty sure was a nerve response
