Guys, sometimes it might seem like you're not having the greatest day, but check out how quickly luck can turn around.

Woke up this morning (my birthday) still kinda hung over from a massive Easter weekend.

As i'm getting ready to go to work, I get a phone call from the real estate agent telling me that I had been outbid on a house i had pretty much thought was mine :kick:

So I've been sittin at work all day feelin sorry for myself, wishing i was elsewhere.

Until about 4pm.

There was a massive noise outside the office, sounded like someone had crashed into my car. Here are some photo's of the scene that confronted me when i got outside -

Apparently the slasher blade on the boss's tractor hadn't been done up correctly, and as soon as the tractor was started part of the blade (about 10cm wide by 20cm long) broke off and was spat out the back.

As you can see from the photo's, the blade must have only missed my car by about 10cm.

The boss's patrol never had a chance to move...

SH****T! You're very lucky there....could've turned tragic if u were in the car at that time and it went through your window! The Boss must be cursing :kick: Your car is alright, thats the main thing

Dont worry about getitng outbid on the house, another bargain always turns up, there are a million out there as far as houses go so dont worry at all!

The boss is still pretty cut up about it, going nuts at the moment on the phone to insurance companies.

It wasn't so much the actual house I was interested in, it was a bit of a hole. Was a pretty decent development opportunity though, as well as the fact it had a massive 12m x 8m garage...

But as you say, another one will come up.
