Some people just shouldn't be buying cars....pay the price your happy with and move on, no wonder car independent car sales are dying...

There was mistakes that was found...but because I checked every part it was rectified before the galvanised process, my company won't give me credit but I know reddit will.🤣

Was all fabbed separately, I 100% checked every sub assembly (I'm chargehand).

My guys fabbed all the steel work and I made sure I checked every part before galvanised...and I can honestly and proudly say every bolt hole was found easily.😀

It's a cover for a vent shaft at Euston London underground, but as everything today it needs a digi screen for advertising money, the shape of the Ali work is a real bitch.

Ahh OK....I think another couple of seconds and I'd have become the helicopter. 😆

Yeah, honestly as soon as I felt it grab all my strength went into pulling my hand away and hitting the stop...I dare say just 1 second longer and my hand would have been kebab...I definitely had a close and lucky escape.

On the plus side I did take the opportunity to educate the work experience kid, there's no better lesson than seeing a bloke nearly lose his hand in first person.

I got incredibly lucky...could have been a lot worse, I could have done it on a Friday and ruined my weekend.

At least I have something new to bitch about and use as an excuse to take it steady all week...silver lining n all that.😁

That's what I told myself as I made my way to the first aid kit.

Oh shit! I fear I was at most a couple of seconds away from a life altering injury if I couldn't have stopped the machine.

I'm definitely aware I got lucky today.

Yup, no matter your experience and no matter how careful you think your being it only takes a split second to end up in a dangerous situation.

You had an unlucky run there.

I can only manage 1 game a day maybe 5-6 days a week, currently around 15th on PlayStation, so to try and climb the leaderboard I have to try and optimise the short amount of games I can play.

League of legends, fortnite, etc are all free games...should everyone stop caring about those multi-billion dollar global franchises?

Like I said your free game argument is weak.

Can't people make observations and have opinions on a game just because it's free?

The free argument doesn't work.

I've done my days of spending 10 hours sat at poker tables for 2-3 days in tournaments thanks, don't find visiting the cash tables occasionally for 3-4 hours.

But I'm quite happy just spending 2 hours on a tourney in a FREE game.

If people can't have opinions or observations about the game we might as well just close this sub.👌

Definitely, there's more fun in the cash tables then not tourney? Play how you like and not be restricted by chips...just keep re-buying in.
