I think it's one very deep hole that had the roadworks barriers around it. They now appear to be on the side of the hole. Maybe wind blew them onto the side and Mr Postie drove through the wet patch, thinking it's just a puddle. PhilA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"And remember, if it's not good enough to drink, it's not good enough to cook with! And to that I always say, if it's alcoholic, it has NO place in my food, at any stage, in even trace quantities. Two grins now. I was at Carer's Group yesterday and the three ladies and I were talking about common sense. One said something to the effect of, men just don't have any (tbf she did preface it with an apology to me). I said "I can smash your argument there with two words, and neither of them is Off. Diane Abbott." She couldn't fight that! Today, I walked round to my local chippy for my usual Saturday treat of fish & chips for tea. Except... they were shut. I came home for the car (no other chippy within walking distance) and headed for one I've used maybe once or twice before. I was the only customer in the shop, with two female staff (young one on the counter, more mature doing the actual frying). We were having a bit of craic based on the principle that life's too short to be serious. I told Youngster about my late friend Harry. Whenever I went to see him, he would lead me in the direction of the kettle with his usual greeting, which wasn't "hello, how are you?" or anything like that; he always greeted me with "What happened then?" I would then respond with something like "Well it all went to pot after you left" and we would have a conversation that lasted until the brews were made, and might have made sense if anyone knew what we were talking about; but nobody did, including both of us. No actual event was ever specified. The whole thing was nonsense, but it didn't half amuse us! Youngster liked that and I have a feeling she might even use it herself. purplebargeken, privatewire and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Put my father in control of some garden machinery. Funny to see him mow the same part of the yard 3 times before taking over.

If this human refuse thought there was a danger of getting turned into pizza by a 2 ton cop car, instead of the current "pursuit too dangerous because scum not wearing helmet" the bike theft statistics would tumble within weeks. 20 years ago a guy at work had a CX500 nicked in Wigan He rang the police Here's your crime number Aren't you coming out to see if they left any evidence, fingerprints No sorry all we do is issue crime numbers for your insurance claim but if you get it back please let us know. I guess so that they can tick the crime solved box for statistics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Seen yesterday outside the headquarters of the Monster Raving Loony party. It is the official transport for the parliamentary candidate for Radnorshire. (F reg., in daily use, sounds like it needs a bit of a tune.

danthecapriman Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Just finished the last of my Xmas shopping! Did all of it online this year, just got to wait for a couple of deliveries then do a bit of wrapping up and then that’s that done for another year. A couple more weeks of work to get through then it’s a week off and food and drink time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
