New Year Titter

You can find this in the junk online news stories, but it shows a man in a Ukraine hospital having a metal nut removed from part of his anatomy (yes, that part)...

He managed.

Pretty blooming impressive. As to how it got there, I guess he fell onto his tooltray with nothing on. He blamed his wife and said he would, err, wait for it, file for divorce.

I almost replicated this today trying to remove the ball-joint on my Blue 1.7 to get the strut off for repairs. The castellated nut on the ball-joint (which I had partially unscrewed) couldn't take the pressure from the separator. Fortunately, I could tell it was stressed situation so I had the safety glasses on which was lucky as I might have had a castellated eye-ball otherwise.

Just got to find another nut with the right profile ;-0
