    When I was at school (as a pupil, not teacher or burglar) I managed to staple my thumb to a note board.  The staple was firmly in there and we needed to use that pincer thing that removals staples.  The only problem was I couldn't think of the name of such an implement and was stuck there for five minutes trying to describe it.  I still don't know what they are called.  Surely it's not 'Staple Remover,' we don't call Scissors 'Paper Parters' or Pens 'Ink Sticks.'

    Good Luck to Badger63 on the show tonight, and I look forward to watching the show with the "Always" brilliant James and Lisa-Marie.

     I look forward to hearing all the tales involving ailments. Might throw my own into the mix (after 9pm ;0) )

    OK here goes

    A staple remover (or staple decleater) is a device that allows for the quick removal of a staple from a material without causing damage. Although a simple metal wedge can be used, this method tends to tear fragile papers. For light gauge staples, many people instead use a device consisting of two opposing wedges on a pivot. For convenience, this device has a spring that returns it to the open position after use.

    Proper use of the opposing wedge staple remover should also be noted. Staples should be removed via the flat, top side of the staple, not the back "curled" side of the staple. This can however often result in ripping of some paper, so some prefer to loosen the staple via the "curled" side before proceeding to the front flat side for easy removal.

    Some staplers, mainly small ones that are about 1.5 inches long contain an integrated staple remover. This is basically a piece of metal that is slid under each "curled" side of the staple and turned to loosen the staple.


    Also known as an aligator or staple puller.

    god i love google this may have been "useful" in your dilemma tommy

    I can guarantee someone just said into Lisa-Marie's earpiece, "Leave it Lisa-Marie, don't make any more comments".

    I think what ever pills Lisa has been taking for her neck injury, have got her slightly hyper.

    She giggles about Machka's face being buried in a bush and wondering about what type of rash he may get, and also managed to make something out of my post too.

    Thuumbs up to you Lisa, but obviously not in a Len Fairclough way .


    BTW I take no responsibility should the Sky Poker Channel be taken off the air any time soon


    Aski :)

    Hi James and Lisa

    Lovely to see you doing master cash, great show as usual!

    Blatant brag to start as I took down another live tournament on Thursday night, Lisa mention your win at this point and take the plaudits!

    For James - I went to see Streetdance at the movies today, went because the 11 year old was desperate to see it and I enjoyed it more than him!

    James - Comment?

    Hi James/Lisa Marie

    I have posted this before about a year ago

    I was playing online and having one of my better games and very chipped up, the 5 minute break came, i did the usual and visited the bathroom and got a couple of cold beers from the fridge and was just returning to my seat when the doorbell rang
    On answering the door horror of horrors a scientologist, took at least 2 minutes to get rid of him

    walking back to the PC i saw that play had started and as i moved closer it was me to act and i had 2 aces and the time bar almost out, i rushed to the chair catching my foot on the rug, fell forward accross the arms of my swivel chair and rolled head first into my monitor smashing it to pieces
    Did not hurt too much more a shock, cleaned up as fast as i could and attached a spare monitor, i ran quite deep and won £150 
    strange thing is when i checked the hand history i found that my aces would have been cracked by kings if i had played the hand, alternative to a bad beat huh

    LOL Gary

    greetings

    looking good as always (well Lisa-Marie anyway).

    when i was 16 i loved to bomb around on my bicycle, especially downhill.
    one day i tried it through my local town centre, which was relatively quiet at the time. just as i was about to make a sharp turn, a blooming great dog ran out in front of me. doing what came naturally, i swerved out of the way and straight into a giant concrete flowerpot. there was a huge crash and scream as i went sailing over the top to land in a heap at the feet of a couple of very nice young ladies. embarassment to injury!!
    luckilly for me one of them took pity on the groaning lump at her feet and helped me to recover. and to later become my girlfriend!!!
    what a lucky injury that was!! well for me anyway. my bike sadly was totaly ruined!

    One of the most redonkulous injuries I remember getting, was when I went 'Base Over Apex' (my maths teacher's phrase), over the handlebars of a BMX, in a forest in Walthamstow. My head hit the floor first, my jaw snapped open – and immediately locked – as I slid across the forest floor. 

    I received temporary lockjaw, and in a state of panic, jumped up and tried to shout to a mate for help... except of course my jaw was locked, and my mouth was full of leaves and slugs. I couldn't even swear properly.

    Please don't read this out on TV. But if you do, can I just take this opportunity to say hello to anyone that knows me... just like they do on the radio?

    I must confess I had an even more embarrassing injury than that, but some people seem sensitive about stories concerning gerbils and vacuum cleaners, so I'll just keep that to myself for now.

    Love the show, by the way.

    NOOOOOOO!! WE got told this one just as we went on a break and promptly forgot it :(

    Hilarious that you got groovy with 3D street dance!! Count yourself lucky though Dave, I could have got a fair bit of mileage with that.. Mind you, it's just as well.. I'm pretty sure I was pushing my luck as it is!

    I blame the Pain killers.. At least that's what James said they were ;) I have to admit I wasn't expecting him to run away and leave me to analyse a hand all on my lonesome! EEEK! I was SO nervous I forgot to click the hand on.. It's certainly nowhere near as easy as our amazing analysts make it look!!

    Thanks for all your stories guys n gals.. Sorry we didn't get time to go through them all. But I've had a thorough read of all of them and feel much better about it now.. Slugs in the mouth and such. Nasty business that!!

    Seriously. Your input makes the show.

    Sweet dreams all xxx

    In Response to Mastering of Cash and Topping of Pots (Show thread):
    Good afternoon all!!  Or as we Poker players say at this time of the day 'Good Morning'! Well so far today has been eventful. I woke up.. rolled over..stretched and CLICK! My neck Popped off. Not literally you understand. That would be MOST unfortunate, somewhat messy and not just a little inconvenient in light of my presenting tonight's live show with the fantastic Mr James Hartigan. So I am currently sitting here with Percy Spencer strapped to my neck.. Cunningly attached by use of a scarf. This sounds a trifle odd, I agree. However, said Mr Spencer is actually a small teddy Bear..an old Christmas present from my mother that heats up in the microwave to keep me toasty through the cold winter nights... and as such comes in handy for pulled muscles, sore tummies and FREAK neck mishaps such as my current predicament. So.. For this weeks show thread topic I would like to know of the most ridiculous injury you have managed to cause yourself AND/OR DIY 'treatments' of said injuries! Of course this evening we shall also be traversing the Mastercash highways in search of action hands and entertainment but I'll leave that for Mr Hartigan to shed some light on. Right now I'm in pain, can't turn my head and have to go Microwave Mr Spencer again. Ps. Feel free to google Percy Spencer and compliment me on my ingenuity ;)

    A perfect statement pod. The "smute" from LML is all that makes life worthwhile at times.

    There just seems something quite sinister about microwaving a beany bear! You can freeze it too and use it as an ice pack....might help with the burns!

    James did appear to cringe when Lisa decided to tell my story, with a look of

    "I cant believe she is going to read this"

    Was a great show

    Lisa hand analayis, James telling her to press the button, Lisa saying dont be silly it doesnt do anything anyways, James with his great run of easy predictions in top of the pops, oh and there was some poker shown too

    What more could you want on a Saturday night

    Aski :)
