    Crikey but I hear you on that!
    Forty years or more ago I dropped a gearbox on my right knee while I was lying underneath the machine. I managed somehow to extricate myself, then got from my workshop to home by using a shovel as a crutch.
    Now, if I have to stand for too long my right knee will suddenly just give out.
    If I'm fortunate I can save myself by grabbing something, but if not...I'm base over apex onto my nose or backside.
    Not a pretty sight.

    Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
