Thumbs up

Cut our garden table in two with a circular saw once while cutting another piece of wood with, I thought, sufficient clearance between the two. Felt right a right **** as the two halves fell in different directions...

Oh how Mrs FB laughed given that it was about half an hour before we had people due to arrive for a sunny summer's lunch, not.

Dunno what all the fuss was about - nothing that a few bits of 4 X 2 and some agricultural nailing couldn't sort. (The table not me...)

Forgot to put oil in an RM125 once following a oil change.

Lent the bike to my mate, got it back with a hole in the crank case.

Not to long ago when i was at work in a pub, i was turning the TV on.

Wouldn't work with the remote so i tried again. And again. I held it a bit closer and aimed it more directly to the receiver on the TV but it will wouldn't work. Checked the batteries on the remote, they were fine. Pushed the stand-by button on the TV and it still wouldn't work.

Checked the fuse box for the building, all was fine. Took the cable out of the TV and put a multi-metre to it. Cable was fine.

My colleague came along and pressed the main power switch just behind the stand-by button. Tv turns on.

Gone out with the cordless home phone in my pocket instead of my mobile twice.

Changed brake pads on my friends drive, forgot to pump the brake pedal then crashed through his front door.

Asked a girl when the baby was due when in fact she had just got fat.

Well I was guilty today. Took off on my 'bike having forgotten to retract the prop stand!

Makes a very frightening noise when it scrapes the ground, lucky I was not about to turn left!
