March ‘15 Photo Comp. “Things that make you go ‘Bugger’”

[Cuppa]

This month’s competition topic has been chosen by our February winner Throbbinhood

His choice is
“Things that make you think, or say, ‘Bugger’”. We’ve all been there & done that ourselves, or have witnessed other’s stuff ups & mishaps & breakdowns, but have we recorded them for posterity, so we can have a good laugh about them at a later date. I reckon we might have, so that’s what we are looking for in this month’s comp


Good luck all, & thanks Throbbinhood

Ps. Please read though the pink bit below if you haven’t done so yet. Ta.

my first ever bugger moment. just came too and realised i'd broke my arm playing rugby

Oh Bugger might not be what I said after getting my staples removed only to have me back split open.
3 months of going to the doctors every day to get the dressing changed, Oh bugger.

fortunately most other "oh Bugger" moment happened with no camera around

Entry #1

Oh Bugger! After about 35,000kms, far too many (for this non off road trailer) of which were many were on corrugated dirt roads it was never designed for, the chassis rail gave up the fight. Getting it repaired in Darwin was a challenge with most places chasing the lucrative mining dollar.

Surprised it only went there , you were lucky but wrong tool for the job

Entry #2
Oh Bugger & double bugger! Not again! What else can go wrong? (My posture says it all).
Just a day & 100kms after we had had the replacement motor fitted in Katherine (7 weeks!) we reached Pine Creek & stopped to get fuel. MrsTea say’s “I hate to mention this but there’s oil pouring out underneath the bus”. The rear main seal had been improperly fitted by the Melbourne motor supplier. Just another stage in a long saga of mechanical disaster a long way from home.

About 15 years ago with my beloved MK. This is probably when my love of getting stuck, stuck. And relying on someone with NFI on how to use a camera, use one.

1 of my biggest bugger moments happened back in 2009 when I was cooking a BBQ with potatoes in a deep frying pan filled with oil on top of my camping gas bottle ring which was sitting on the ground next 2 the BBQ, I turned around for some reason and bumped the handle causing the boiling hot oil 2 spill out all over my ankle. Put up with the pain and blisters for a few weeks before going to docs who sent me to my local hospital which sent me to the special burns unit at Concord hospital for a holiday.

Below pic is of where they took the skin from my leg and grafted it onto my ankle.

First up. Great topic.
So my first pic is work related. Sorry.
Conversation went something like this.
'Copy workshop. Got a problem'
'Ow yer. Bring it in'
'Ok, just retrieving broken bit'
'Ooooooooooooook'

Funny thing is they had rung the boss. Said it was cracked and got told to push on only 4 hours earlier.
Machine was down for a week while the beak was re built.
