homegirl101 1 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 A beautiful day,enjoyed gardening for most of it.Decided to get the sun lounger out and sit with a tipple.Got everything ready,sat in said lounger,that was it,arse over tit.The damn thing collapsed on me,lucky not to have lost a finger or anything else come to that. Now that means i have to buy another one,not built to last nowadays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I have four deck chairs in the shed - every one of them collapsed over the last five years. As you say - nowt lasts these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I had a rope around a large boulder yesterday. The idea was to drag it along to a new position in the garden. The rope came off, of course it would wouldn't it, and as I went ars* over tit I did so in a fit of laughter at the silliness of the situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I hope it was tea and not beer! The former usually can be prone to coming down ones nose in a humorous situation. Member Eric 'Limey' seems to be a person who suffers from this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 That means I can't hang around here then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
homegirl101 1 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yes! i should have been on the tea leaf stuff but i thought better of it.I cannot remember the last time i had an alcoholic drink mid afternoon,but just one bottle of Spitfire i deserved after gardening and that fed my lawn. I'm still ticked off because that was the last of the alcohol,and i had to go back to the tea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I remember a few years ago going to Doncaster to see a Rock & Roll band called Crazy Cavan. On the way back to Nottingham everyone stopped at a Services. We went outside and I sat on this wall but went backwards and landed on my head. Everyone thought it was hilarious....except me.

mick2me 3,033 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 In 2001 I was shadowed by a central TV cameraman at at work. I had a photographic job at a road accident on a winter night. In order to get a better viewpoint, I stood on the top of a brick wall. The wall was covered with a layer of ice. I went Arse over Tit. and it was on film! I threatened the cameraman if it ever appeared on TV, I would hunt him down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Maybe I will put it on youtube. All 26 episodes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Perhaps my most memorable A over T episode was on the east coast. I'd been for a few 'refreshments' in Mablethorpe and was walking home the couple of miles home to Sutton-on-Sea with my then partner.Of course the inevitable happened and I needed to relieve myself of several cool pints of Home Bitter half way back and so chose a very long long drive way up to a large building which stood amidst several acres to preserve my modesty. Being that modest chap, I walked quite some way up this tree-lined drive before planning to do the needful. One step...two steps... and ARGHHH! I was somersaulted into a deep brook waist high in muddy water. My partner didn't laugh...much! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I was talking to SWMBO when walking out top a restaurant in Unawatuna on night. Suddenly she disappeared - down a storm drain! She gave me one hell of a row for laughing till I stopped! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
