[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 8093353, member: 416"] Aye-up, Doing a few little jobs around the yard yesterday, I noticed an armoured electrical cable was sagging, the fastener having broken. So it’s off to get the ladder. I got Mrs COP to hold the bottom of the ladder for my first climb. Once up, I have a piece of rope looped around the top rung so I can tie it safely. As I put my hand around the timber to loop the rope through, a barsteward hornet the size of a fecking Albatross flew out, bounced off my forehead and droned around my head telling me it was pretty pi$$ed off. The initial bounce off the bonce sent me reeling backwards and the buzzing around my head had me flailing my arms about, all of which upset the ladder (and Mrs COP). How I didn’t fall I have no idea. So, by my experience, don’t tie the top of your ladder up. If I hadn’t, Hornet would have stayed asleep and I wouldn’t have had a near coronary disaster. 😉😉 Stay safe kids. Cheers, Pete. [/QUOTE]
