Now's your chance to have it tidied up! Shame about the blood though. It really dulls the edges of finely-honed blades...

Paul, I thought you would have learnt from all my bad habits. Knives, sharp sticks and wombats are bad

I thought you would have been straight into the garage and out with the Duct Tape,if it can hold together Nascar's and Race bikes it can hold your thumb together :niceone:

HaHa.. Ow
Yes, actually it is held together with insulation tape at the mo! Duct tape sticks too much and is a bitch to get off!
I thought if I could hold the base on with tape I could cut the end of the nail off with my side cutters in the garage... Nah! I can't quite see what I'm doing (blood) and I can't nip it off one handed... Fark it hurts too.. Vicki tried to help and I had the dremel out but thought i'd better not as I could be awful hard to explain if it went wrong eh!
I'm typing this 'cos I have to wait for the folks at A&E to give me a jab and rip it off and it takes my mind off it... Been over 2 hours now and still waiting.. Starting to throb a bit now.. Oh Well.. It was raining and can't do much more outside.. knew I should have worn my gloves...

Do a "Ranulph Fiennes"
Go to your garden shed.
Clamp the offending digit in a vise.
Saw it off with a hacksaw.

Where's 'SpeedMedic' when you need him?
Gardening is a bloody dangerous past time and should be banned IMO!

Just one question. What is a hard biker dude such as yourself doin in the garden in the first place?:bleh:
Hope it heals well mate. And stay out of that garden. Only old people do that stuff.:niceone:
Gardening is a bloody dangerous past time and should be banned IMO!Take it to the www.kiwigardening.co.nz (http://www.kiwigardening.co.nz) forum and see if they think it's a very dangerous pastime?...don't tell them you ride motorcycles though. :whistle:
Only old people do that stuff.:niceone:That is utter compost Waylander! Didn't you know that the first man was indeed a 'gardener'?

No I didn't, but being the 98.9% carnivore that I am I wouldn't know. To me gardens are nothing but flowers and other semi-useless plants.:whistle:

You didn't forget about the vegetable garden did you? :nono:

Tis why I am only 98.9% carnivore lol. I know I eat some but they are always used to make something else rather than being just veggies. Leave that for the rabbits. Anyway enough of hijacking Paul's thread. Think I'm gonna read a book.

Hope it heals well mate. And stay out of that garden. Only old people do that stuff.:niceone:

Always done it (gardening) and will always do it (I am old anyway). If I plant more than I take, if I have left one place better off than before I arrived and if I have loved and been loved in return I figure I've had a good life.
Life is not all about consuming... Ya got to plant a tree once in a while. An not just stuff you will get rewards from but stuff your childrens children will seek shade under. It's something the early euro settlers understood but we seem to have forgotten!
What really annoys me (apart from the lousy nights sleep once the drugs wore off) is I can't ride a bike or work on one for a few days. argh! Today was garage day! grr!

Too right! Old and typing slowly...
Yeah! I'm on anti biotics as well so got to behave.. sigh! Besides it's difficult to get up in the night (i'm old and drinking ?) for a wee is time consuming with only one good hand. Vickis love is not limitless I have found out! (Oh go on love I'd help you.... ah hem)
