      That's alright then.

      There's nothing wrong with laughing at someone elses misfortune. The Germans have a word for it which roughly translated means "Thank **** it wasn't my kid."

        Yes, I suppose it just resonated with me particularly strongly as I have a youngster who used to be fascinated by the washing machine.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Have read a few of the online articles and haven't found anywhere that's taking donations, and I am not going to some boozer in Crewe! Poor little guy. Hope he gets to Disneyland.

                    Seriously, it's rotten luck.

                    Many years ago, I worked in a foundry near Birmingham, and the guys there would tell horror stories about industrial accidents.

                    One guy was leaning over a sand mixer and his glasses slipped off his head onto the sand. The sand seemed practically motionless, although the glasses were slowly sinking into it. So he carefully leaned down to grab them, and somehow his hand was caught by a massive mixing arm sweeping round with immense force and speed just below the surface - Caught his arm, and ripped the whole thing clean off, and the poor guy died of blood loss and shock.

                      not me. But I used to know this bird who believed in the Kama Sutra. I suppose , in a strange pervy way, I did end up getting my own back
