Major apologies to all you guys that I haven't got back to....... I broke three ribs a while back, plus a few other bones, (don't ask!!) and have been resting up and totally NOT taking any orders in anyway shape or form. I'm back firing on all 4 (well, maybe 3) now and getting out of bed is more of a minor tinge rather than an "ouch, f**k me!" type event so I'm good to go again. All of the orders that I wasn't able to fulfil were refunded in full. I really appreciate every single one of you saying to me "you didn't have to do that I am happy to wait, get better, no hurry" etc. thanks guys. The thing is that I take great pride in what I make and I take great pride in my customer service....... if I can't physically make my product then customer servive is non existant (if that makes sense) The worst possible thing to do if you, let's say, trip over a soundbar and crash rib side down onto an oil filled radiator and manage to break three ribs (for example) is take payments from customers. I like to sleep at night with a good conscience. Will be in touch with all of you guys who ordered stuff shortly, and I fully understand if you tell me to sling my hook, Stanley in Indonesia (Major apologies), Yang wang in China (major apologies), Chris in Wales (major apologies), Tom Ferguson in Falkirk (Major apologies) Chris Curran in Bedford (major apologies) Peter Yu in China (Major apologies), dirk jeffries USA (major apologies}, Yogi Praneta (Indonesia) major apologies......... You have all been refunded in full and I look forward to giving you a true eargasam soon That's a promise. Mike.

Oh painful Mike, was that on one of your expeditions to civilisation from that remote cottage of yours 😂 Keep taking the codeine and remember it’s only addictive (habit forming as the GPS call it) when you stop taking them Glad to hear you are on the mend tho Take care Martin

Ouch. Thing is, as absurd as it sounds, it's quite a common thing to do. I managed to (drunkenly) fall onto my bog in Korea and I'm sure cracked ribs and could only sleep for 10-15 minutes at a time for a fortnight. Then, also you have supposedly sober and co-ordinated sportspeople taking themselves out for weeks slipping in the shower, falling over their dog's lead etc etc. I shudder even to think how many trip over bloody dishwasher doors left open like it's a sensible thing to do. The home is a dangerous thing. Where possible, pour a drink and sit outside.

The home is a dangerous thing. Where possible, pour a drink and sit outside. Glad to know I'm not the only one who has tripped over a domestic appliance (if you can call a soundbar a domestic appliance) and ended up breaking ribs 😋 Basically, an acquaintance in Thurso asked me if I would have a look at his soundbar that had stopped working so I said "I'm a bit busy at the moment but will have a look at it in a couple of weeks, no problems". Unbeknown to me he dropped the soundbar off in my workshop the following day and left the bastard thing in my workshop on the floor. That's the way it goes up here, if I'm not in the postman / local couriers etc. leave any packages in the workshop and pop a note through the letterbox "package in workshop". Anyhoo, long story short, the next time I went into the workshop I went head over heels tripping over this bloody twat's soundbar and landed "full on" on an oil filled radiator. He had left it (the soundbar) just inside the door "and" on the floor. It was pretty much the same as my Bulgarian kerb nose plant on the pavement except, this time, my ribs took the blow and not my face! Bulgarian kerbs are a lot higher than British kerbs so if you're running up to a burger joint (don't ask!!) always factor in an extra bit of a "leap" or you may take a full on face plant onto the pavement! The soundbar on the floor gig was pretty much the same thing......... 365 days I am used to walking into the workshop....... I didn't expect the soundbar on the floor and, whammo!, next thing I knew I was saying hello to my oil filled radiator (which I do know) with my ribs. I normally say "good morning Eric" to my trusty oil filled radiator but on that occasion I was calling him for every thing under the sun...... I believe I may have called him a "f+++++g b+++++d c++t" Not a biggie, it's all quite amusing looking back BUT....... I'll be totally honest with you guys........ I would take a full face plant over a Bulgarian kerb rather than a rib plant over a soundbar onto an oil filled radiator. Bulgarian "freestyle high kerb" face plant onto the pavement smashed a few teeth out of my mouth and broke my nose but it wasn't painful.... lots of blood, £800 to get stitched up (and I was!) and a few grand for new teeth. The soundbar trip onto an oil filled radiator (perfectly sober by the way) doesn't look bad but, trust me, it's f**king excruciating! mrpharmacist, totally agree with you mate, weeks of sleepless nights and every movement is a stabbing pain. The funny part of this is "did you manage to have a look at my soundbar yet?" Your "soundbar" is now in a skip Andy....... an ambulance ride to Wick Hospital and (to date) 6 weeks of intermittent SHARP pain and an inability to get out of bed without having to do Yuri Geller manouevers........ are you having a laugh? Only joking mate, I'll have a look at it when I can laugh or cough or sneeze without feeling like some cunt is stabbing me with a blunt knife The Bulgarian high kerb:

I would have binned the sound bar after a 'ritual' burning.
Also be careful with the Codeine - its never really made much different for me other than backed me up for a week.

Youtube was down last night but this is the result of "running" for a burger and tripping over a Bulgarian kerb in the process........ www.youtube.com/shorts/6geDBJINCOgWe were making our way back up to the Hotel and I spotted a burger joint....... I asked if anybody would like a burger and the answer was "no" they would meet be back at the Hotel. I said, "I'll just run up and get a burger and catch up with you" Lesson well learnt! Never run for a burger, they're not that important, and always remember that kerbs in Bulgaria are like bastard concrete hurdles. Codiene? I never take pain killers mate..... a few shots of Bulgarian Rakia and I was as right as rain It was so funny on the flight back home........ I was sat next to the same guy I sat next to on the outbound flight and the first thing he said to me was "looks like you had a good time" 2 hours into the flight and he STILL didn't believe that I had tripped over a bloody kerb and gone full face dive onto the pavement so I humoured him and told him that I had been attacked by 7 Bulgarian Gypsys and six of them I left for dead.... he actually BELIEVED that!!! FFS..... what is it with people when you have a broken nose and smashed teeth that they automatically assume you are a hooligan? I tripped over a kerb whilst sprinting for a burger FFS! By the time we got back to Inverness the guy was actually BELIEVING that I was ex SAS and one of the first over Goose Green..... so funny Does this look like a hard special forces man? www.youtube.com/shorts/GzlDkuJU0l4and me calling the fire brigade to rescue a bird trapped in an aerial? www.youtube.com/shorts/1avFlkE3Xv8www.youtube.com/shorts/KEtvlqke5AQSAS my Royal arse

Pain killers are sticking plasters mate...... better to man up and face any pain....... pain is a state of mind. Something I learnt when I was leading the attack on Goose Green

Hi Freddy, Well that’s what it was first used for before pain relief. lol Like you I find it doesn’t do much for the pain but even 16mls gives me a buzzz, don’t even go to 30mls, and 60mls is oblivion. All the best Martin

Ah....Jast found this after sending you two mails regarding an X10 D V3 upgrade kit.
I'll not nag or chase you again until you're fit and well. Broken a few bones but never ribs......I know theres nothing but time with ribs to heal.
