That big bus movie sounds dumb enough to be strangely funny.
That was done Ken ...I love weird trucks and I've got dozens of pics of weird rigs ..a car transporter was built with a low cab and I think it might have been German too 🤔
I'll post some pics when I get back from the hospital.
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .

Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I prefer the piano player in the bar lounge, who, after overhearing the conversation of a guest with cancer, suddenly starts to play an easy tune and starts to sing "Hey, six months to live...". So much black humour...

You wern't touching wood when you said it/thought it, were you ?  :rolleyes:  Take care mate
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

First of all, keep the knife sharp. Less dangerous that way.
They always say wear gloves but sometimes they are pretty clumsy to use. There's the cut proof ones the meat cutters use.

Oh i have a large amount of experience with knives matey ..i used to make em from scratch with my dad when i was a kid ,,we'd use car leaf springs cause it's high grade spring steel and man once you retemper it you could shave with   it  ;D
I still have a knife i made with dad some 40 plus yrs ago and the condition of the steel is amazing .
My dad used to work at what we call a freezing works ..not sure what you guys call it ..in the UK i think they call em abattoir ..oh in the US possibly a  slaughterhouse or meat packing plant .. either way my dad used to be a boner and yep he had those gloves ,,left and right handed ,,dude the right handed gloves are like hens teeth cause so many blokes are right and not left handed ...also there made of stainless steel chain mail ,,very difficult to use on a plastic model i can tell ya  :lol:
Right the weapon of choice ,, it was either a No24 or No26 Swann Morton surgical blade fitted to a No4 handle and even blunt these buggas are sharp ,,these tho are nearly band new so either one went thru the hand with no effort at all  :lol: 
That reminds me i need to buy a couple more No3 handles  :thumbsup:

I'm the opposite. I can empathise with the pain & problems caused by an injury, but I have a fascination for the mechanics & details of injuries .... but, then, I was raised by a GP & a RN.  :wacko:
