You did a good thing. A friend of mine was electrocuted in Brooklyn by a light pole that had exposed wires. He came to with a cop performing CPR and thought he was being arrested so tried to fight him.

Off to Notts tonight. I'm not sure I've ever enjoyed a Gillingham game.
-
Taking the eldest and need a tea plan. Do Hooters have a kids menu?
Edit: That's been veto'd. I've got the lad tomorrow afternoon, me and him can go instead.

I’m supportive of schools, they have a tough job. But the kids school has closed today due to flood water around the school. It’s pretty bad down the far end but access is easy enough from the other end in wellies. The school is not effected as it’s higher up.
Any period of prolonged rain now brings extensive flooding to the village, I think the school might need a better plan moving forward than this.

Notts County Council have e-mailed to inform me that the bollard has now been repaired.
They didn’t say I was being put forward for a local civic medal, but they didn’t say I wasn’t…
-
Do they still do the Pride of Britain awards?
-
Closet going I think is the Ride of Mansfield. Loaf, can you nip round your mums and get the trophy?
-
Last game of the Meggoo relegation at homo. I think. We were down already, but we took them with us.
PA played 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams'.
It was enjoyable as I think we (as in the area in T3 where I used to sit) had long since accepted our fate, were glad the season was over and, mostly, about to out and get really fucking drunk (in the days when that was still enjoyable).
-
I got zapped as a kid in a similar way, lamp post with broken panel. I (5 at most) told my mates I could fix it.
I came to as they were dragging me home. Screaming with hands full of blisters.
Turns out the life of a sparky wasn’t for me.
-
I once put a screwdriver down the back of a portable TV - it flung me back across the room onto my bed. I didn't seem to suffer any other ill effects. I was clearly already a dickhead.
-
I once put my hand on the bar of an electric fire to see if it had been turned on. It had.
-
And no super powers as a result?
Gutted.

I have a fire, television, and electric light anecdotes. This thread is made for me. Happy days!
Those old electric fires hanging on the wall. Looking at one underneath because the dial wasn't working properly. Cracked my head on the corner, rounding it off for all time. Also made blood spurt all over the place at the same time.
Was stripping wallpaper off the wall in a house that we had bought, up on a wooden chair ( luckily). Ran the pallet knife stripper thing into contact with the wall light. Weird buzzing sensation. What's that? Did it again. It was me being electrocuted.
In London when a student picked up a telly that had been put out by someone to have if they wanted it. Armed with my superior electronic skills, and multimeter, checked it out, made sure it hadn't got wet, generally satisfied myself that all was well. Plugged it in, while I was over it connecting the meter to a few test points. The resulting explosion blew me backwards, burnt off my hair and eyebrows, and left me temporarily blind for three hours.

Marlon Mk2 scored?

I have no stories about fire or electricity.*
*From this week. Yet.

The man whose house is seemingly built out of wire. Of course there’s an anecdote or two.
