    That's exactly what's happened, if walking the mower from behind ( in the normal push method ) the right hand front wheel has raised about an inch, I didn't just fall over on it my arse landed right on the back axle lol

    so Joanne was it to many cold drinks and not enough dancing lessons for tim. and ouch,ouch and more ouch you have my sympathy
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Nah I've got nobody to blame for that except myself. It happened before we even got to the wedding....I tripped at the hairdressers of all places...in full view of about 20 people and as I fell I sort of rolled over on my toes. Work will be fun tomorrow as I can even get a shoe on.

    After dinner at the reception one of the waiters looked confused as to where our table's icebucket had gone. I didn't mention it was under the table with my foot in it. At least there were 8 doctors in attendance at the wedding, including 2 in the bridal party and my nephew (the groom) is an orthopedic surgeon...I had quite the crowd of people all looking at my foot.

    lately work has been a refuge from a sulky immature 18 yr old at home. this work experience kid (who i normally get on with ok when i gdn her parents place)got dropped off at my place this morning. by the time i had driven to the end of the street i asked her if she did want to do this or not as we could always get her mum to turn around and pick her up. not a good start to th day
