Can we sue the Buddha?
« on: April 10, 2009, 03:32:20 pm »
 :D

Tale of woe lads and try not to laugh - on 4 January this year - I was asked by my Mrs Bluebird - if I could help her by tilting the large upright freezer back - so she could put a mat underneath - so Mr Bluebird, being the gent, did as she asked  <*<   when the mat was in place and she said okay I let the freezer come forward.    Mat in place.   Just then an ornament of a Buddha - he is a large size - decided to sky dive from the top of the freezer onto Mrs Bluebird's left hand..... >>:-( <*< <*< ..... as you can well imagine shrieks of pain, cursing, quick exit by Mr Bluebird - safe hiding place %) %)

Until peace was regained in the household - no injuries to Mr Buddha!

However, Mrs Bluebird's hand had changed into funny colour where Buddha had landed.   Quick trip to hospital with a rather large 'Wallace & Grommit type hand' only to find little finger broken and large chunk out of the knuckle joint bone of the little finger.

Anyway.......time goes on....last Thursday Mrs Bluebird had to have operation on said finger - and its stitched up, two tiny screws in place now - which has to remain for 6 weeks.

Mrs went to see surgeon on Wednesday for a quick inspection to make sure everything doing fine, Mrs got a bit upset when Mr Bluebird asked what size screws in finger and were they any good in model boat???  :(( %% {-) O0

Also, wasnt too impressed when certain person mentioned a bit of Gaffa tape to wrap round the finger - and that was the Dr treating her who said that!!!

Hey ho....

Now in today's Society where we can sue anyone for anything CAN I SUE THIS BUDDHA?

 <*< <*< <*<

aye

Yup, ... I don't know if you want to mess with Karma any more than you have. Obviously "Buddha" did not want the freezer moved.  :embarrassed: O0

Well John, you meant to put the freezer on the carpet and it seems you ended up on it too! Simple twist of fate?

Condolences to Mrs B though, an innocent victim.

You recently asked me a question about grammar. Funny you should say that, because now you come to mention it.............

You said: "Should of asked the surgeon..."

Grammatically, you should replace 'of' with 'have'.

And another......

You said: "...to stitch her gob up while he was on, then she could ask you to do anymore daft jobs."

Think for a moment about what you just said there. Think... How would it be possible for her to ask for anymore jobs if her gob was stitched?
Again, grammitically, you would have made more sense by including a 'not' between 'could' and 'ask'. Or even the so-called 'couldn't' contraction.

Stop me if I'm going too fast.

message from Mrs B to Barty:

if you find nobody standing around you at Harrogate show - it ain't because you smell  :embarrassed: but, if your mobile phone rings - you might just disappear in a cloud of smoke as an Exocett hits ya  ;)

the Mrs has just spent the last 10 mins googling to find out how do they remove the screws - they are not visible from the outside of the finger!  The surgeon said he was going to remove them - how on earth can they do that without further op then?  Any ideas lads???

aye

PMK, no your not going to fast, a simple typo error missed the n't off could. You must lead a bit of a dull life if all you've got to do is point out mine and others grammatical mistakes.  O0

Dull life? How can it possibly be dull when all the forum experts such as yourself bring such fun into the equation.
When you write "your", as opposed to "you're" is when I gets to realise that little men like you really are not important at all. After all, most of us would not even dream of building or showing off pictures of shoddy modelling workmanship. So why should we have to endure your shoddy grammar? Did the word 'quality' ever enter your vocabulary?
Oh, and you spelt "to" with just one "o". In that particular context you should have used "too", but I suppose you're going to say that you knew that already, right?

So no, not dull at all. You should try it sometime. I can guarantee that it's a whole load more rewarding than following me around the forum and leaving sneaky little jibes for me to read. I mean, when was the last time that YOU offered to give something, or offer to help someone, other than your usual patronising agro?


Good luck, dude -- you're gonna need it.

Looks like a feng shui problem here, in moving the freezer you disturbed your Chee, Mr Buddha does not appear to be at fault. I would refer you to the Crown vs Buddha 1898  %%

Bluebird,

At the risk of more physical damage to your body you can always tell her where to find "sympathy" . .  "You can find it in the dictionary between shot and synchronous."  ;D I am not saying this is a wise move, just where to find it.
