    Dont look if you're squeamish!

    I thought Id share these photos with you all!

    Yesterday afternoon I managed to put a drillbit through my finger, at the same time as a plastic core tray - effectively pinning myself to it. I kept my wits enough to get someone to take pics!

    After cutting the drillbit with bolt-cutters I went to hospital and got the bit cut out. Another thrilling day at the office.

    Ouch! This is why I cannot use power tools. Once, I hit myself with a hatchet. Happy healing and I hope you get back to practice soon.

    Nice one Ali!

    I've been thinking about getting a new piercing. Didn't however think I'd find my inspiration on KWF - Cheers.

    You send them in to Zoo/Ralf/FHM etc. Could win you some money for your new three three finger kote (or you could just brag to all the boys at the pub that you were featured in such a quality publication).

    Jezzus Ali!

    I mean... if you put a drill bit through your finger... why did you take pictures of it?!?!?

    Something just not right with that girl...

    Well, I was standing there for a while - I couldnt go anywhere until one of the guys got some boltcutters from down the road so I had to do something to distract myself from the pain, so photographing it was the only thing I could think of at the time! Im glad I did, descriptions dont really do it justice. Im amazed I went through the whole thing without shedding a single tear actually....

    I think it's sexy.




    Interestingly enough, I guess that dispells the myth that Aussies bleed Beer.

    That's some bushi attitude right there!
    Quite impressive!
    May I ask: is that tattoo?
