A mate almost sliced his toes off with one a few months ago. He'd just taken off his safety boots as they were rubbing.
Evil things those angle grinders.

Glad to here your ok dave and still have your ear! dont be doing things like that mate it dangerous enough out there. I have use grinders many times, never did like it, they do bite bad. Make sure you get some good care from the nurses 
Made it home all taped up. Got to go to the plastics clinic at the JR in Oxford first thing in the morning where they will peel it all back and then look at what they are going to do to try and fit it all back in place and stitch me back together.

Thanks very much, it sure hurt like hell when they started scrubbing all of the brick dust/debris out of it!@DaveyB - good luck at the JR, let's hope the miracle team are on duty to perform your face lift.Sadly, not even a helmet would withstand a diamond-tipped grinder wheel and you certainly didn't want any of that debris complicating matters. Hope all goes well and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Blimey. That'll take some recovery.
Just helped rescue a half tonne pregnant cow from the bottom of a 70ft cliff.
Slightly unusual...
The van has been a landscape truck (carrying my strimmer) and transport to the local woods for a hike so far this weekend.

Very interesting indeed. The Fire Service did the bulk of it; amazing seeing them at work.But that's why we do these sorts of jobs - everyday is unusual which is what makes them interesting.
But their kit is sodding heavy to haul 500m up a steep hill! Lungs and heart got a proper workout.

Shit the bed, that all sounds grim. Hope it heals quickly and the experts can patch you up nicely
Because the water fairies are usually asleep or playing football/volleyball!
RNLI were there too.
No glamour lifeguard boys; they don't stray from nice sandy beaches
ooh, now that is harsh. Water fairies is so inaccurate when we do 5 RTC's for every fire. Besides thanks to good old elf & safety the crews are not permitted to play ball sports at work anymore, so they all just pose in front of the mirror in the gym instead
Now i was thinking lifeguards not firemen or is that fire persons ?ooh, now that is harsh. Water fairies is so inaccurate when we do 5 RTC's for every fire.

Oh, maybe that's what he meant. Although the police force have referred to us as water fairies or trumpton forever.
Me too!!
Fire are well known as the Water Faries or Trumpton! My old man was a copper for 30 years so it just kind of stuck.
Not sure if the costies or lifeboat have any nicknames as a whole just know the individuals ones
Our local fire station went through so manny staff injuries that all happened at the local leisure center, think it started with volleyball. That got banned and then went to Football then basketball I think.
Read that in a hurry and thought you said a 70 tonne cow from a half foot cliff! Must be the G&T affecting my reading skills!
