Just a general announcement for any folk who might be waiting on replies from me on emails etc or other things involving the computer that such replies might be delayed a few days or a week or so as today (Monday) I did rather a good job of chopping off the tip of my right index finger, which is rather a blow as would you belive, I've only ever typed with the one single finger & it happens to that very one. I'm now typing with the middle finger of the right hand & its a bit slow going, to say nothing of being totaly unnatural.
So how did I do it? As you all know, I collect old car number plates & now & then I have a few b/w ones which need repainting. I marked out a couple of pressed plates today for spray painting of the black. Laid masking tape all over & then set to with a scalpel blade wrapped in more masking tape to trim it all out round the letters, got half way through & got distracted by something, resumed round a fiddly bit & then adjusted my finger to apply a bit more pressure & presses.... Resulting in "YYOOOOOWW!!!!" as I hadn't noticed I'd picked the blade up upside-down..... At the moment it's well bandaged up, but I've not dared look at it since.
Over & out.....
