Health and safety

My brother has recently being doing a lot of tidying up about the farm. We've accumilated a lot of clutter over the years and he's been going through it and throwing away anything which he thinks people aren't going to be using any time soon - mostly this is actual rubbish and so you can't blame him too much if he just gets a bit carried away and chucks my hammock, for example.

One result of this is that there are piles of stuff stacked or leaning against the wall and awaiting removal and it was utterly inevitable that sooner or later someone would come to harm. And so it was that I hurt myself with the rubbish last night.

I mean, leaving that pogo stick standing up against the wall where I could find it was just an invitation to disaster! You should see my bruises. Ow.

Oddly, I found the pogo stick irresistable also.

What hammock?

I suggest that you sue

Alas, I wasn't wearing the EU-mandated helmet, boots and high-vis jacket required for pogo-stick activity.

You could, as an individual, sue yourself, as the Company. There may be tax advantages.

No adult can walk past a functional pogo stick without wanting to play on it, its hard wired!

They should put a pogo stick chase in the next Bond film. It's what the franchise has been crying out for
