Well I nearly met my end yesterday - Whilst replacing a 100 year old Stack pipe on this house - the top 4 foot of pipe decided to come crashing down on top of me - I just thought to look up to make sure the Pipe was still in place only to find this Cast Iron Pipe coming straight for me Head - With Mongoose like reactions I jumped out of the way and shielded my head from the Deadly menace about to kill me and my Arm took a proper Pounding - First thoughts was broken but I could still move it and my fingers - But the Pain was just awful..

 

Moral of this little ditty - Dont work :shock:

Crazy thing is - its 8mm Cast Iron Pipe but the bit that snapped had rusted right through - You could have knocked into it and it would have fell on your head!!!

 

Anyone with Cast Iron Pipes dont call me !!

Sounds like something from Hot Fuzz, when the bit of church lands on the journolist (that's not spelt right, but I don't know how to spell it)
