But yeah. Had a bit of a wreck later. Came from a bit of a height and right sideways into the toolbox. Spilt my beer and everything.

Yeah feel a bit bad about it. No damage - but you know?

Be careful out there guys. Don't make the same mistakes I did.
Put your beer down first when sitting on a bike on a work stand.

I don't think singing was involved but avoid that too. It's only common sense.

Always have bacon in the fridge.
Here in the USA, we always say "Here, hold my beer" before we try any death defying tricks, such as mounting a bike on the work stand

Good to hear there was no damage to report.
