today i fell off a ladder

Drinking the other half of Bells before chain sawing was NOT a good idea either .

These are the dangers of living out your lumberjack fantasies.

Lucky escape.

I slipped over in the snow today and bashed my elbow. Felt like a right tw@t.

I was halfway up a tree , and under pressure from the G/F had not taken the chain saw up with me to LOP the top half of tree off , but instead took a bow saw ...
whilst working on it , the tree snapped and I fell 10 foot onto a bank and rolled downhill to a path ...if taken ..the chainsaw could have done anything whilst I was falling :0 :0

I KNOW some of you will be cursing my G/F at this minute :D

would have been £24,500 if saw had taken ur arm off ..

Only £10k for first arm less for 2nd ..
hang on this pencil is slipping in my mouth .

Joking aside, you are bloody lucky. I have done a lot of tree work, but I am not a qualified arborist - I do however know a couple and that even they would preferably not work when branches are covered in ice.

no ice i am in mild portugal just a stupid thing for me to atempt

very

:D @ Portugese ice! Mind you, I do know Spain got snow yesterday.

and my fall was back in august .

Was it the wrong sort of of ladder? If so you might be quids in.

(If the guy in the ambulance chasing ad knowingly used the wrong sort of ladder then surely he's to blame and no-one else?)

In the real world, the bloke in the ambulance chasers advert would never win a case.

FACT

A vehicle with a siren and a ladder
is NOT an ambulance M8 ..

:-)

Had sympathy for you until I found out you're in Portugal, lucky b@stard.

not exactly the wrong sort of ladder just not long enough can i go back to the shop and complain about the lengh?
