    No, but my boss chopped his finger in half on a mechanical sausage making machine.

    Not in half as in top to bottom, in half from nail to knucle.

    I only ended up in hospital twice due to cuts and that is well less than average. I tended to use the chain mail gloves/apron as often as was possible.

    Don't tell me you had to get a degree before they'd consider you?

  • The Young Apprentice Vs The Great Egg Race, Professor Heinz Wolff Vs Suralan

    When I was young The Great Egg Race was a show which encouraged me to want to work in technology, I found it fascinating and years later went on to study, successfully, for a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

    Tonight we have suralan setting children a task to sell cup cakes.

    Now I know Engineering was a basket case in the 80s but training a bunch of brats to be super unskilled brats today is a step backwards.

    Dyson is worth more than Sugar, so I say get Dyson on and this tulip off TV.

Working...
