Moderators can break the rules.
It’s a ‘zombie’ thread for us to remember Alastair (and Steve)
I wish I could bring them back instead.

The most accident-prone bloke, ever!

I’m not sure Al ever explained what he’d done to that arm, but this was in an email from him in April last year. Sounds related.
“they are looking at trying to reconnect all the ligature and tendons in the back of my hand which are attached to my left thumb and repair all of the nerve damage too.”
I last heard from Al in August. One email had a picture of a scar on his head, which he never did say how he’d come by, and this is a quote from his last missive:
“I think I’m seriously jinxed here, both my kids have quads and motorbikes, I have a KX250 which we use on a bit of land near the house, Saturday I was trying to show off to the kids, came a cropper and managed to get my right foot stuck between the wheel and fork leg – result – 2 broken toes and a badly burnt heel, I’ve been a motorcyclist since I was 9 and have lost toes in the past and I’m about to lose 2 more. Bummer.”
A great guy, one of a kind, and a serious menace to himself.

What on earth is wrong with his arm on that pic? Looks nasty.

Amen to that Moggy
I’m actually crying with laughter. Legends, both of them.

Not sure but his attitude is “when in doubt there’s no substitute for total overkill”
Ah , a fine attitude to have , I generally go for the scorched earth policy when cleaning out rabbit warrens . Find all the bolt holes , fill up 3-4 of them by jamming bricks down them . The other holes you stuff with rags mixed in diesel , petrol and any other flammable liquid . You find the main entrance , open the valve on a 5kg propane tank and stick in the entrance hole valve first – to make sure this is in properly reverse one of the tractors rear wheels over it .
You then run round all of the previously prepared boltholes and light the rags . Within 5 mins you should feel a definate thumping noise , and one large thump . When youu are sure the propane is empty , drive the tractor away and recover the canister.
Remember you are actually doing the rabbits a favour – if it wasn’t for you they would struggle through a long , hard winter.

Does he hanker to be prime minister or world president or something?
Thank goodness he doesn’t come around here much…;)

Probably- In fact, if Martyn had anything to do with it I’d lay odds on it

Better check what hes leaning on – could set the whole cell-block alight…

Hey Al, your pyromaniac leanings would go down well with my youngest.

Crackers. Totally crackers.
We could have fun.
Land clearance with red diesel and burning tyres flung by pitchfork….ah, the memories.
Ahhhh , spray all the shrubbery with Sodium Chlorate ( NOT the fire suppressed stuff ) , wait 2 days then drag a burning lorry tyre round the field behind a tractor , ahhhhh love the smell of napalm in the morning . :dev2:
By: Flood - 10th September 2004 at 23:36
And its was all fun and games until someone got hurt… Then it was just fun…;)
