Me and the girlfriend managed to move a Spit tub easily enough, although I
didn't think it was exactly light when it fell off some timber 6 feet in the
air and cracked me on the head!!!! That bloody hurt, and I still had to hold
the damn thing up with one hand whilst rubbing my head with the other(That
sounds a bit porny to me! :-)) as I didn't want it to fall on the ground. Let
me clarify the situation, I rent a small garage which had some shelving at one
end, so to save Space I put the front end on the top shelf, then managed to
lift the back end up and prop some timber under it to support it, anyway, I was
stood under it moving some stuff when I caught the 'not-to-secure' timber
causing the thing to drop on my head!!!!! OK stop laughing you inconsiderate

Cheerio
