You obviously require a friendly visit from Unkle Heilen and her OSH Stormtroopers. They will go through your house and make it perfectly safe. You will not be able to do anything in the house ever again and be tied up with paperwork and red-tape-bullshit for the rest of your days, just like the rest of NZ...:jerry:

OK so structure of a house is dangerous but what abut products inside.
excuse typos and lack of sense this makes.... its late at night and Im feeling tipsy from some new medication Im on....
shouldnt really confess to how one does manage such things.
I ...managed to trip over my cordless phone....now before youstart thinking such things.....it wsnt the cord to the phone jack nor the cord to connect power.
It was actualy the cordless phone part.
had socks on and stood on it, slipped off and was then on the ground looking very puzzled.

Yes you obviously need to be wrapped in that poppy-bubble stuff. NZ just isn't protecting its citizens.
Hope you're alright, getting hurt sucks.

Aaaaaaaa yes the little known variant of leaky home syndrome, "breaky home syndrome". Ring the council - they're clearly at fault!
*wandering off singing*
"don't break my step, my creaky breaky step..."
Seriously though man - bummer! I hate it when shite like that happens. I know a good builder (and very reasonably priced) if you need one. PM me if needed

Yes, indeedy.
My most serious injury was not from a bike crash, but from a fall in the gargre caused by my socks. I now have an arthritic right shoulder as a result.
And some minor scarring on my face, most of which is conveniently hidden beneath my right eyebrow, where 4 of the 6 stitches were applied.

Socks can be very dangerous.
Never underestimate the dangers lurking around a pair of socks! (or should that be lurking around in a pair of socks?)
They are brutal nasty mantraps for the uninitiated!

I just had some visions of some dude up a ladder and the Chucky-style socks leaping out and pushing the ladder over, then running into a mousehole or something.
I could also name a few people whose socks can do serious damage to ones nasal passages.

Yeah! My point exactly!
I Have 3 brothers, 3 sons and a husband....cocaine wouldn't have damaged my nasal passges any more than their socks!

Yes. :o
Y'see, we'd been in our house only a few weeks, and there were HEAPS of jobs to do. So, every night I'd come home and do a few chores before dinner. This one night (back at band camp), I headed out to the gargre to get a mastic gun and some other tools. Owing to the gargre having two stupid narrow doors, to get my bike in I had to park the Wankermobile (Pajero) up against the back of the gargre, to leave room behind it to manouevre the bike past. So anyway, I took a shortcut across the front bumper bar to get the tools. On the way back, concentrating on not dropping anything, my socky foot slipped off the bumper.
Uh-oh...
Faceplant into doorframe and concrete.
Ouchie.
I looked at my business shirt, now covered in blood.
Uh-oh... that's not good.
Stagger inside.
The vifferbabe sees blood on shirt: "What have you done to your arm?"
"Um... nothing... look at my face..."
:gob:"Oh shit!!"
Cue vifferman collapsing on floor.
The vifferbabe thought I'd died, so took the advantage to give me a beating for leaving her a widow... :Oops:
Then I revived ("He's alive! He's A-LIIIIIIVE!!!"), and we went to A&E.
Youngest sprog goes very white, throws up all over inside of car.
Yet another thing for the vifferbabe to do when we (eventually) returned home...

Not making light of your 'Tim' impersonation that sounds bloody funny, well written. Glad you 'bounced' back.
Odd that you chose to give a Pajero garage space though.
