H and S - The French have it right
« on: January 03, 2010, 10:10:13 AM »
One of Mrs JOM's ways of keeping out of my way is her pasttime of restoring furniture. Today she's discovered "Le Salvager" on Discovery Shed channel. We've never seen this before but its a joy to watch.

None of that H and S bollocks, wearing goggles, ear defenders, and face masks for the most menial tasks like the DIY programs do here. I've seen him cutting cast iron with his angle grinder above his carpet letting the remains drop on to it, clambering over roof tops in his shorts, nothing on his feet, lighting a fire in the garden to burn paint off metal work, but I did cringe when I saw him trimming some joists with a chainsaw at above head height as he leaned forward off his ladder  lol:

That's the way to do it!  happy088

Exercise a bit of personal care and you don't need 9/10ths of all this H&S crap.
I don't wear safety goggles anymore 'cus they steam up so you can't see what you're doing. I don't wear face masks as they make me gag...both recommended in my original 'safety manual from 15 years ago.
I do believe I'm still here to type this however. ::)

The man is a total head case but very entertaining. H&S doesn't ever enter his thinking. Love his programmes.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
