Read WTF moments and mistakenly thought that you had posted a winner.

Pure resentment  

And to think I was considering getting a tattoo of you on my chest riding a unicorn

The impact noise from a crash is very distinctive, my daughter was in a nasty crash last year and had to be cut free from her car,  was just outside Blackpool on the M6 - all 3 lanes were sitting stationary and she was in lane 3,  guy just wasn't paying attention and never even braked.

She had front and rear dashcams fitted but the fella held up his hands straight away,  I've asked her a few times to see the footage but she's said no

Pretty sure I had fired up a thread of this nature a good while ago but can't find it.

Feel free to contribute 👍 

 

I used to work in an aluminium smelter, never seen anyone tip a pot though, which was lucky, because they used hand controls on the tapping and alumina cranes and therefore would be dead. 
 

 I did see a cell burn through and that leaked a lot of molten aluminium, and the shift metallurgist nearly got sacked.

Nah it’s rather warm. Horrendous working conditions if you’re trying to fix a fault on a crane and you’ve got on splashproof gear, hard hat, glasses, mask and the lot on... in summer ambient temperatures at night can be 45-50 deg C. Sweating buckets and you can’t see 😂

Yeh my old man was in the steel works when I was a young kid,  I ended up in the same place around 1995 when I was fitting roller shutters,  one of the rear large loading doors was buckled and some twat attempted to raise it with a forklift and totally fecked it,  when we were on the inside taking the shutter guides off etc the heat was immense, it was also winter with snow about, my face and neck at times just couldn't take it and we were a good few feet away from the main furnace,  feck that full time.

Worked as a furnaces when I was younger and have experienced this 1st hand 3/4 bogey of white hot cast iron which i was pouring got tipped as a moulder spilled some metal which exploded on the cold floor behind me causing me to panic and let the thing go , luckily as I let out the roar to scatter everyone around managed to scatter and no one got hurt .

If things go wrong it goes wrong in a spectacular way 

Pal of mine worked in some shady foundry and tells some great stories,  he was always nightshift and said one night his feet were roasting,  good reason for that,  mans boots were on fire
