    Well the story goes as follows......

    Rex (my workmate) and I were chatting at our desks cause there was absolutly nothing to do. In fact the conversation was revolving around about how to make our monday more exciting. We both turned around when we heard what it sounded like a bomb going off (I just thought it was something falling down) and a rumble and next thing we knew a 2002 Green Toyota corrolla came bursting through the wall. (It does look like the movies where bits of wood and things fly around).

    The car had the go through a bench covered in baby seats, through a gib wall and the only thing that stopped it hitting Rex at his desk was 2 babyseats lodged under the front of the car had lifted the front wheels up.

    He had a alot of gib hit him and I had a huge bit of joinery clobber me (still have the bruise). We are still cleaning up the mess at the moment cause the radiator was punctured so you can imagine the mes of water and gib dust on a carpet. The total damaged to the car came to $7165 and thats not including building materials for the wall which Rex and I had to re-build (I hope we dont get a building inspector in here) but the lucky bugger still has his job.

    Well I thought the move to Christchurch would be a welcome change in scenery involving a desk job and minor driving around job but so far I have learned how to build and put up gib, how to cut up a baby seat that was stuck under the car and taught myself self-restraint from not strangeling the bugger after he didnt help a bit in the clean up!

    So the moral of the story is to be careful what you wish for. But seeing as you're obviously so successful at it, could you wish for my bank account to suddenly be in credit by approximately $1,000,000. I'll give you 10% for your trouble. Thanks in advance.

    He was an arsehole. "Aparently" his foot got stuck on the accelerator pedal.
