Here's the youtube one Minty...

Thanks, love them cockup videos...

i dont have a face book thing and it opened for me

So whats the worst thing that happened to you, ?
Mine was putting a Reliant over the pit, well in it then Feck me 

Back in '71 when I was only 16, I was working for the co-op dairy delivering milk to make some money before I joined the Army. I don't know if you remember those milk barrows that used to hold the milk crates, you could get 2 crates in at once then start doubling them up. I had a 6 crate load on and was giving it big licks in a housing estate when one of the wee wheels, solid rubber tyres, hit a wee stone. Feckin' thing stopped dead and me and 6 crates of milk went arse over tit over the top of the crate. The boss who was in charge of the horse and cart (honest!), was about 3 streets away. I had to go and get him and 'fess up. He must have liked me because nothing ever came out of my wages.

What did you weigh then 6st 

8 1/2! I was that weight until I reached 35. I'm an excruciatingly obese 9 1/2 stones now!

Bit like the guy in the video with the pallet truck with what looked like a display fridge on it, I liked that one...

Set fire to a mini,,, I was an apperentice at the time so it's acceptable,,, thing was a no goer so I've had the petrol pipe off at the carb to check the pumps working ok, it was so petrol went  everywher, so I'm trying to decide if it's electrical or the carb, so I squirt some "Quick Start" stuff down the carb,,, carb was obviously the fault as it fired up,,, but then backfired through the carb and set fire to all the petrol soaked sound inhibiting stuff...

Oops...

Cut the hedges and painted the front door of the wrong house

Also got a mechanic in Dublin Bus to change an engine in a bus when it should have been "change the oil". foreman only noticed when the mechanic started complaining he couldn't do the job by himself. Feckin lightweight

Mot'd a car instead of a service and serviced the car in for Mot   and talked my way out of it

Can't be bothered signing in but it's Annie (red rose) at home came out to a flat tyre decided to do it myself, was wearing boots with straps around, wheel nuts really tight, so stands on wheelbrace, it gets tangled in boots I go tits up (minty's words) and I land splat on the ground on my elbow, my only worry at this point was did any of the neighbours see this, but managed to change the wheel... As the day goes by elbow not functioning... Goes to a and e and sure enough broken elbow arm in sling...lucky I drive an automatic could still just about manage to drive.

I would ring green flag now, not paying a fee and not using them

I love Pallet truck one. We did Ideal Homes Exhibition at Earls court. My brother was site agent and we built a 5 bed tudor house in Earls Court. We were on top lift of scaffold and the tilers needed a pallet of tiles put up. My dad jumped on the fork lift and put them up and as he pulled the forks out the heel of the forks caught a a scaffold clip and pulled the lot down in slow motion, every one juping on the rafters or through windows, if yer could have filmed it.

That is Identical to what we built inside Earls Court
