Sat dish + Ladder + Brit = Broken Arm

So there I was, Sat dish in hand, borrowed a neighbours old wooden ladder, and proceeded to climb up the runs. Got dish onto roof, went a few more runs up, got leg over tiles (At this point shaking and sweating like a man on death row) digged my claws into tiles for grip, and then... WHOOPS there goes the ladder.

Theres me hanging off the roof, one leg on, one leg off, one hand with nails embedded into the tiles, one hand in the gutter playing with the leaves and the slime, teath firmly locked onto my jacket hood, saying hail mary full of grace.

God was looking out for me that day, because a satalite dish slid its way towards me, and just gave me the gentle nudge I required to make me loose my grip.

Towards the floor I tumbled, landing firmly in the owners bush (As in plant).

A snap was heared by all, and it wasnt a branch. :doh:

My arm has now healed, but I have been watching friggin French and Turkish Tv for about 2 months now. Theres no way Im going on the roof again, I diddnt even know how to set up a sat dish anyway !

Heres the deal... Theres some experts here, and Im on the level,

I have Tetley tea here, English Biscuits, and make a aweome fry up with only brit ingredients (Were talking Eggs, Bacon, Sausages, Beans, Those potato things... The works) If someone comes and gives me a hand, I will endow upon them the skills of my catering, and of course will be eternally grateful!

Im afraid since leaving my last job, Im not the richest man, so cant afford the couple hundred charged by pro's but I do have a large frying pan !

Thanks all

I hooked mine up myself and then got a 'profi' in with his thingy to line it up. Only cost me 30 euro's. Mind you as i also have a hatred of heights i put mine on the balcony..

Firstly, Glad you are well on the mend...

Secondly... you daft basard! :$

Would you let a mate pull a bad tooth for you, or even do it yourself?

Let me have your PLZ and I will see if I have an engineer in your area soon..

Geoff

my thoughts too but i didnt want to write it

Hi Satman,

We all have our little tumbles now and then!

My PLZ is 33184 Schwaney

Hopefully a mate will come and help me break the other arm soon, if all else fails, I will certainly scream towards you as another bone snaps!

The only Brit to live, or has lived in the town !

Have you seen where the bloke lives??

Up the Schwaney!

bbully we are talking about satellite dishes here !!! Please stay on-topic. And stop bragging about your balcony heroics - we all know it is indoors.

Gaz (ya daft bastard), I don't know a thing about satdishes, but know a bus-load of doctors, most of whom can tell an arse from an elbow. If you don't get any serious offers (which fortunately you will), as a last resort me and bully will come around, establish whether your culinary skills warrant risking life and limb, and then I'll hold the ladder for him. Then he can get his profi to get his thingy out and we can all sit back and gasp in awe and wonderment.

Glad you're on the mend.

You gentleman, you!

of course we are, i mean it is coming from innocent me

You innocent, just look what you've just posted in misc!

I certainly am up the Schwaney!
