Left upper bicep, mate. The typing and the spelling skills are both in good nick.Quote:

Arsuming Woody! I trust there was a pun intended or else the spelling nazis will be paying you visit. :o
And getting an 'annual', teanus shot is also a pun for getting it in the nether regions. I hope!. :mad:
However to be strictly accurate and to really spoil a good story a tetanus shot only needs to be boosted every five years or so and is usually given in the upper arm. :eek: All woodies should ensure that their shots are up to date as we are prone to injure ourselves fairly frequently whilst mucking around with wood, (splinters and the like.) :mad: We all know that tetanus is caused by a soil born bacteria which can sometimes be found on timber, particularly if it is recycled from old buildings and the like. :D
I'm sure you're right about the upper arm. However, this particular tetanus shot was delivered about 35 years ago, by a former girlfriend. :( My bad luck that she was on duty in Casualty that evening!Quote:

That was another little cryptic pun for you.
Thanks for the reminder about the tetanus shot, I don't recall when I last had one so it must be time.

Nothing like an ex girlfriend with a needle is there? :eek: :eek: :eek:
Unless it's a wife who's jealous with a needle (but that's a whole different story) I was innocent! :rolleyes:

When do you vant to compare notes? ;)

Ve spelling Nazis do not pick on spelling mistakes that are deliberately funny.
In fact funniness is even moe desirable than correctness.
Right Ken?
Don't require the flu shot, Ross River Fever took care of that!
I have both shots. My lungs are not in very good shape and while I know it sounds like Im moaning (err actually I am) If I get sick I normally get it worse than most. In fact in the last five years I have died in emergency (I got better)and been admitted to hospital three times all from pneumonia. Funnily enough all around August to October.
Picture this....
Its the middle of winter, you have a raging flu and you feel like death warmed up...you get told you have to head down to Penola SE Sth Australia (=antarctica) and relieve a geologist on a job there. Hes got the flu too but because his flu is "slightly" worse than yours he gets to head home and recuperate.
3 weeks on a crappy land rig outside Penola with the flu. ...cold as hell and its raining sideways every 5 minutes.
That was the last year I went without flushots and the last time I had the flu. I get a few little colds now and then but working on oil rigs with suspect air conditioning systems and with people coming in from all corners of the globe Im doing fairly well.
Good god man you never let your partner stick a needle in you.....Quote:

Not possible to catch flue in this country, the virus doesnt stand a chance over here its too bloody cold for it.http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gif What you experienced is what all UK tradespeople experience annually,,,,holiday fortnight,,, 14 days of booze induced leglessness.http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifQuote:
