So Matron has claimed an accident free 18 hours. :-\

Let's see.

I'm also running a book, PM me and I'll let you have the latest odds. :D

Better odds if you can name the injury. :D :D :D
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

25 hours and  not even a scratch !.....And I've fired another bonfire tonight, without falling in....Or setting fire to anything else.....Like the hill behind Techno Towers.....Yet.

I'll tell you about a VERY 'close shave' with a short scythe, one day......Didn't do any actual damage, for a change....But I was SO Bl**dy close to severing either my jugular, or my carotid artery....
Can never remember which is on which side.....Sadly, it's true (again)  :-[ :-[ :-[ X_X
Cheers - Phil

The never vote was not me.....But I thank whoever has that much faith in me.....Muppet !  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Don't have any clever ideas with the scythe ; your foot might fall off. ;)

Within the next 4 hours seems to be popular and reflects,  in a very real sense,  our belief in Matron's inability to protect himself.  :D

No, no, no. Betting on Techno injuring himself is not on! I'm going to report you all to the RSPCA!   :d

I would like it to be recognised by the RSPCA that I voted for him NOT hurting himself.

Also, being North of the Border I demand to be tried by the SSPCA! :)

Is it true Phil that you were the inspiration for the board game Operation?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

From the Western Daily Mail, April 4th

"... an elderly man was rushed to hospital last night after a bizarre accident involving a bonfire, a chain saw, two strangely decorated boiled eggs and the Nottingham Street Map from 1986. The man, cautiously identified by sheepish locals as Phil the Matron, and 'ooh ... that odd fellow who keeps playing with his little thingies', is thought to be conscious, but not coherent. Then again, this may be his natural state. The man's wife was not hurt in the accident, but her wooly cardigan was ruined.

As he was loaded into the ambulance, the man was heard to shout '49 hours, 27 minutes. Tell them 49 hours 27 minutes.'

The boiled eggs have been destroyed by the Police, and the Nottingham Street Map taken into protective care."
