Is it right that a pissing fountain is pissing water over the pavement when I'm not allowed to water my plants (I'll be sneaking out with my watering can still). 

Well done Kirklees Council.

Minuscule compared to what’s leaking out of pipes underground because maintenance reduces profits.

Surely, though, they should be setting an example?

[twosmoke300]

Been thinking about this - underground leaks will mainly , eventually go back into the water table won’t they ?

where as watering your lawn will mainly evaporate .

Crossed the A548 bridge ( to nowhere ) - backed up with traffic on the flint side. A couple of elderly part time corpses joined from the slip at Connah's Quay in a toyota. Decided that the traffic was too heavy and turned around - so badly infact I thought the driver may not have had a licence.

Then proceeded to go back down the slip towards oncoming traffic.

I really hope it was an emergency because there was a lot of traffic - 1 hr 50 to cover 44 miles.

[MikeR]

just wondering if the first storms of the autumn will blow in the right direction for me .....  despite comments about the state of the tree nothing has been done ..

suppose a new green house and shed would not go amiss ...

So really we all need to use the hosepipe more so it all evaporates and makes rain ?

or stop being so fucking  condescending?

Neighbours rat sized dogs barking all evening 3 hours of it and it appears they have fooked off out and dogs living in garden recently- no point in doing anything about it - as neighbours other side no doubt will call dog warden soon enough.

Incidentally you can use the hosepipe if you have flowers less than 14 days old.

I must've been about 5 when I first saw it and the 'rebellious' element was intoxicating. I also well fancied the bad Olivia Newton-John,  not the 'nice' one.  I blame that,  along with Tallulah from Bugsy Malone for my bad choice in women throughout my life. 

I'd probably have been better with a Blousey Brown,  although you can find Flo Dugger Garland who played Blousey on Facebook and shes a Trump lovin,  gun toting conspiracy loon so maybe Tallulah might've been the better option,  even if she did prefer birds.

Not sure if this is a grump or a grin.

The wife took the old Granvia in for a mot and it failed on "brake pedal anti slip provision worn".

So I cut a bit of ribbed drawer liner to shape and "Tiger Sealed" it to the pedal.

OEM fix right there.

I had the hump with this tbh it was rubber coated and still securely fixed to the pedal I was tempted to run a few lines of weld across the face of the pedal but couldn't be asked to drag the mig down from the shed.

Went shopping, forgot the shopping list.  Wanted a yard broom for my son.  None in but spent sixty quid on odds and ends anyway, then Aldi, just a few bits including milk and orange juice.

Then petrol. £77.

Got home and the milk has leaked out all over the back seat.  Pressure spray and wet vac fixed that but half an hour I could have done without, then all the cardboard packaging soaked in milk.

Put everything away and watered the gardens then wondered where I had put the car key, not unusual.

Left in the car on the street
