    Cleaning the gutter on the shed earlier while the weather was fine.

    Bastardin wasp turns up.

    Panic.

    Stung in neck.

    Wasp wins and smugly fooks off.

    I fall off the friggin ladder.

    5 stitches in head. 3 broken ribs. Broken wrist. Eight hours in A&E drinking vending machine coffee.

    :(


    Go on, laugh ye fúckers.

    Well, I suppose it could have been worse! :P

    At least you now have an excuse never to clean the gutters again.

    Sure being a rabbit what were you doing on a ladder in the first place ? Can't imagine the gutters having much nice food !

    Anyway you mustn't be a particularly good rabbit, Lapin. You're clearly crap at jumping ! Which is arguably what a rabbit is most famous for.



    For anyone who doesn't know Lapin is french for rabbit ;)

    Ah seriously though, that's a fcuking dose dude.

    Stitches no bother, even the wrist but the broken ribs, that's hardship right there. You have my best wishes, truly you do.

    Now, did I ever tell you about the time I was stung by a bee?


    €15 for for a poxy jar of honey :mad:

    I fell off a ladder about 20 meters off the ground yesterday (Thursday, not Friday, just to by awkward), but it was on a circuit at zipit in Tibradden Woods and I was attached to a fall-stop besides a second of brown pants before it broke my fall I experienced no harm.

    Sorry op.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,023 ✭✭✭shedweller


    If its any consolation OP i work with a lad that nearly died after falling off a ladder. His foot caught on the way down and got almost ripped off. Joint pulled apart and his foot was held on by a sliver of skin. Ok now but limping for the rest of his life!
    Moral of the story is it could always be worse. Get well soon!

    I thought of this when you told your story, OP:

    A man suspected his wife was seeing another man, so he hired the famous
    Chinese detective, Chen Lee, to watch and report any activities while he
    was gone. A few days later he received this report:

    MOST HONORABLE SIR:
    YOU LEAVE HOUSE, I WATCH HOUSE. HE COME TO HOUSE. I WATCH. HE AND SHE
    LEAVE HOUSE. I FOLLOW. HE AND SHE GO IN HOTEL. I CLIMB TREE. I LOOK IN WINDOW.
    HE KISS SHE. SHE KISS HE. HE STRIP SHE. SHE STRIP HE. HE PLAY WITH SHE.
    SHE PLAY WITH HE. I PLAY WITH ME.... I FALL OFF TREE. I NO SEE.

    NO FEE,
    CHEN LEE.

    dangerous things ladders. When I was working in Australia a few years ago, a colleagues husband fell off a ladder and was killed. Very sad.

    Well that is Duffy's first segment sorted out on Monday. Is the wasp ok?

    Sorry op.

    you did in your hoop. Unless it was a step ladder on an 18 meter building. 20 meter ladders don't exist. 10m is cack your pants territory.
