I was wimpering like a mongrel dog.

Woof.

Al

I would pay good money to see that:eek:. (Bet grunt would too.)

[Wood Butcher]

Jim, deepest sympathy.

Least now you have an excuse to sit in front of the PC and check out the forums more

[RufflyRustic]

Geez Jim - what a shocker!! I'm glad to hear you are back home now.

Thinking of you...

cheers

I had to get the missus to yank stips of sticky stuff off, :eek: 1" at a time.

Maybe I should have let it wear off.

Hope you feel better now Jim, after reading other ppl misery?

[AlexS]

Sorry to hear that Jim, hope it all comes good soon.

[Zed]

you silly man, sit down and listen to the music for a while mate.

[E. maculata]

Crikey Jim:eek: that's what fear and phobias are for it's your sub-concious' way of saying "don't go up there, we've evolved, we do not need to be up there" and here you go an intelligent educated modern Bloke ignoring primal fear, primal wins every time I hate that
Did yours reverberate with a harsh "CRACK" as you landed?
They do heal(heel even ), and a good pair of high lace-ups are a blokes best bet for helping 'em.

I hate gravity, is it really necessary?

Get well soon. Hoping for a full recovery and back in the shed soon enough.

yeeouch!
Ladders are freakin' dangerous bits of gear.
You are luck you only broke your ankle, as it is quite possible to do worse like spinal damage, or worse land on your head like a pogo stick

My old man did his ankle a ripper, after falling off the ladder while painting high rafters. Feet of the ladder were sitting on a cloth drop sheet and the top of the ladder was resting against a 200m wide rafter....feet of the ladder slipped with the drop sheet, rest is history:eek:

DVD player and Tv are now a nice acrylic sandstone colour

have a look at the his new fabricated ankle....voila!

[rbjozzia]

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. You would have cried heaps if they were Redwing boots!

[Caliban]

Sorry to read about your misfortune Jim.

Must say that you went to a lot of trouble to get away from those kids that you teach.


Peter.

Not at all Pete.
A man's shed has to have a decent sound system utilizing all the speakers thatb have gone out of fashion in the 'ouse. In my case four big cases with 12" drivers and assorted tweaters and mid ranges. And four 6" stereo leftovers. All of these in heavy wooden boxes none of your plastic shyte in my shed. So far due to minor inconvenient parting of company with ladder I have only connected two of the big ones. Never did get to hear them yet although the kids tell me they sound great. (never there to help but always there to sample)
Any of the kids who I teach can come and listen to my choice of music in my shed it's not like I'm trying to hide from them at all.

[Rocker]

Hmm, music in the shed? I am flat out concentrating enough not to make mistakes, even without any distractions like music. And I am usually wearing ear-muffs anyway. Three-quarters of my woodworking time is spent in burning electrons or measuring and marking; the other quarter is spent trying to remember what I was going to do next, or wondering where the hell the tool I need is. All these things require my undivided attention. If I had music to listen to, I would never get anything done at all.

Hi Jim,
Sorry to hear of your misfortune. And all for a good cause too, having speakers set up properly. I have spent a bit of time doing the same, in both my home workshop and the one at work. Now if only the students would leave the thing tuned to the right station!:mad:
Looks like months out of the shed for you...plenty of time for reading wooowrk books and mags, DVD's and of course the Forum!
Take it easy and chin up!

Cheers,
