Clive, you have my sympathies, I picked up the wrong end of a 100W iron at R.I.A.T last year!! ... That bloody hurt I can tell you!! :sad:

Kody, ask Swanny about the unfortunate incident involving a hammer and a moments lack of concentration at the same event! :wink:

Does stupidity require your sympathy Geoff, at least it cheered the wife and child up.

**cliveb** · 7th June 2008, 22:05

and as we live in a blame culture i am blaming whoever borrowed my soldering iron stand!!!!!!!!!!!

Geoff - oh dear, that must have been a painful experience. :blush:

Clive - ...cant argue with that.

Swanny,

The bloke in Als Hobbies up the raod from me has the miserable syndrome. Hes actually miserable to the point of being rude.

Considering I can be in the shop in two minutes at lunchtime I still prefer to buy most of my stuff from Technobots or Robochallenge.

To be honest if he took the time to just be polite I might spend a bit more money in there.

aint that true andy.

the hammer, wow now that one nearly killed me. hit myself on the forhead with a hammer and the lump was like an egg. they wouldnt let me drive home for a bit just to be on the safe side. i could tell you some stories about pain kody but not on here.

anyway

on a lighter note i was happily working on envy and was looking at the scratches on the hardox. some bits of colour on there and just wondering who it was. i then went on to think about the first time i went into battle with my first ever robot and was so proud that i had paint on it from other robots. i remember not wanting to clean it up. i also remember the first robot i saw from the tv which was comandgetorix or was it vercingetorix. one of the 2 anyway. i was so pleased to meet them and everything. i was so excited. oh the good old days. mind you i am enjoying roboteering now more than i have ever done.
