Man upstairs have something against me?

[jtbo]

So today in garage I managed to cut my leg when rushing to disconnect computers from outlets as there was thunder storm sounding nearby, however I did noticed that only when I was photoshooting thunder flashing, suddenly felt like stepping in pool of liquid and so I was, only that liquid was blood running out from my leg.... Well it is kind of ok now, quite bad cut still.

Day before there was too a thunder storm, so I'm out with camera looking forward of nice photo, but all of sudden I hear zzzZAPOFFF kind of sound and see very bright blue light as lightning struck 5 meters from me, causing my ears to ring and also I did taste iron in my mouth quite some time.

Also todays thunder still managed to destroy my adsl router as I still was not fast enough, even I did managed to cause wound that required urgent medical attention.

Oh yes and house's electrics have something wrong, lights are flashing quite a bit:

Do you have a surge protector? Very useful they are, although I still rush to unplug stuff when lightnings about

[volvosneverdie]

Do you have a surge protector? Very useful they are,

Ive got a Serge protector.
Really reccomend it.
Keeps French onion sellers out of the house.

[MJ]

Nah nah, you want a Sergio Leone protector.
Much better.
Keeps gunslingers out.

Nah nah, you want a Sergio Leone protector.
Much better.
Keeps gunslingers out.

But all my best friends are Bandito gunlingers.

Woah.
That looks very cool.
And very dangerous.

That one was far away, those have been hitting lot closer past days, today they promise officially thunder for evening, maybe I try to get some footage then too or fry in process

I did see someone making faces at me by time of lightning almost struck me, this is Odin?

That looks like a pretty dangerous place you live in and i thought Belfast was bad.
Cheers Mark.

It is probably just me, I'm prone to accidents, whatever I do, it is likely that I will broke it or get injured to some degree

Like when I did shut garage door one day, somehow I stumbled before door, then almost got balance back holding in door by three fingers, then stepped outside to find out that I slipped and cut my elbow while sliding trough door and after few hilarious looking moves managed to be on all fours on wet grass.

Undoing nuts and bolts is specially hazardouns, knuckles are always ones to take pain and everytime something slips.

Now imagine me and powertools then, better stay good 100 feet away when I get some powertool to my hands, like my latest investment, chainsaw, uups, that pole was not ment to be cut

Someone makes funny comedy where guy get into insane accidents, that is quite close Interpretation of my life nowdays, when I was young everything just went right first time, now I bang my head to wall literally without much of success

Most of those troubles come from shitty balance which I got about 5 years ago when I had high fever for few weeks, after that balance has been bit bad, however that does not explain why lightnings strike so close this summer

Who is that fellow with big round eyes?

Strikingly, it appears that there is a discrete group of people who suffer the most accidents: 1 in 29 people have a 50 per cent higher chance of having an accident than the rest of the population

I guess that fits me quite well
