Stupid mistakes

Post by Snackmore »

Having made a stupid mistake last night by breaking off a key in a tower(as I think I was over tightening it?) it has made me think..............

What stupid mistakes, or mistakes in general have you done which we all could learn from?

the more amusing the better

After taking the **** out of me for being a canaries supporter, I could hardly let this post slip by without replying, now could I! :50:

Could not believe the last game as birmingham were above bottom three b4 kick off!

When Wolves get that second goal putting BCFC into the relegation zone the birmingham "fans" should have made a rousing chant so the players knew what had just happened!
seems like the penny hadnt dropped for about 10 minutes FFS! :shootself:

This would never happen at Carrow road Matt, the fans would have really got behind em in seconds!
Delia would have been on the pitch "lets be havin ya"! :Jig:

Its called "passion" Matt, enjoy your stay in the championship, we will probably be joining you next year unless you guys go too league one :50: :50: :50:

Stupid mistakes

Using Keys on tower cashboxes that had the outside bit filed off (thanks Matt). All the pins dropped out of the lock and it took me about 6 weeks to realise what i had done. I had to cut of and replace 40 locks. Flanders came to my rescue with some quality cheap locks.
