Post subject:  Tip of the day

Hi all

Thought a "Tip of the day" thread might be interesting. Here's my tip:

When cleaning an oven make sure that if you have an open cut anywhere on your hand that you don't get oven cleaner in it.

Just thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone else has any interesting, nay.. lifesaving tips for the rest of us grunts.

Cheers

Darren

Always wear some kind of eye protection when dealing with superglue. I've heard to many stories of people just "doing a little repair work" on what-not, and having their bottle literally explode, sending gobs of superglue towards their eye.

And don't be fooled, that stuff CAN blind you.

Oh, and also wear eye protection when mowing. I almost lost an eye one day. Luckily the rock hit me just below the eye.

My mother in law wasn't so lucky...and she wasn't even the one doing the mowing!

Bits of metal are hot after being cut off with a Dremel.

Cooking with chillis and then taking out contact lenses is not a recommended combination.

Cooking with chilli and then going to the toilet is even less recommended.

NEVER approach your arch-nemesis immediately after it appears you've finally killed him/her/it.

Don't go back into an exploding ship looking for the freaking cat.

If you are working on a scooter barrel (I think it was a new ET4 or a Buddy) make sure you remove your finger from the exhaust port FULLY before you check the auto start.

Yes, this happened to one of the mechanics at my local shop- he's now called Stumpy.

I do not want to know what you would be doing that involves small screws/springs/parts while taking a bath! :shock:

i've heard something that applys to us as Marines:

when fighting xenomorphs, aim for the head or limb joints (elbows and knees); they contain lesser amounts of acid blood.

When having your bag searched whilst entering a nightclub, let the bouncer examine the bottle of Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce himself.

Or, at least, don't go for a pish then put in your contact lenses if you handled the bottle yourself.

( The eyes were instantly agony... but the slowly dawning realisation of what was slowly building up elsewhere was worse in the long run. )
