They're from Bolton though! Apparently "their story" is that they come from Watson Steel in Horwich... we must embrace them!mummywhycantieatcrayons wrote:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/others ... bbish.html

At the risk of starting a '4 Yorkshiremen' sketch, many moons ago I did a Joint degree (joint subjectsn not a degree in blow' and had 2 x 25,000 word theses, no 'part 1's' in the 2nd year so did exams for 18 subjects in a 5 week window. Some subjects had 2 & even 3 papers, all papers were of 3 hrs duration.
In fact, so much an overload that it wasn't possible to panic about them.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Sadly, Tango, it's probably in your own fiscal interest to do so in terms of damage limitation, but can you put up with the 'mug' factor? Not so sure that I could!TANGODANCER wrote:Shared fences, and neighbours who think they'll just leave their side and not bother protecting it till it falls to bits. Then you see the look of horror when you suggest they go halves on a new one, so you end up buying it for the same thing to happen again in a couple of years. Maybe I'm expected o go round each year and paint their side too? Xxxxers.
May the bridges I burn light your way

If you're going to rebuild the joint fence off your own bat, move it a bit onto their patch, steal some of their land. If they don't give a f*ck they'll not notice, and you'll have a bigger garden to boot.

I have to say, I just don't get the "paint the fence" malarky.

On the plus side, another couple of hours or so should crack it, after which I'd be most surprised if the memsahib didn't manage to conjour up some barbecues and a couple of bottles of Pimms.thebish wrote:indeed - I only mowed mine a Week and a bit ago - and it has bastard grown again!! add to that - brambles - the triffids of the garden world....Worthy4England wrote:Grass - not the Maui Wowie variety that makes you smile and giggle - T'other stuff that just grows and requires cutting regularly.

Today I'm angry about people talking about barbecues and Pimms when I won't get home from work until 8 tonight, which is when I'm straight in fron of the Champions League Final....Worthy4England wrote:On the plus side, another couple of hours or so should crack it, after which I'd be most surprised if the memsahib didn't manage to conjour up some barbecues and a couple of bottles of Pimms.thebish wrote:indeed - I only mowed mine a Week and a bit ago - and it has bastard grown again!! add to that - brambles - the triffids of the garden world....Worthy4England wrote:Grass - not the Maui Wowie variety that makes you smile and giggle - T'other stuff that just grows and requires cutting regularly.

In self defence, I've worked every weekend since Feb, apart from Easter and the Bank Holiday...
And it looks like I might be the road's Mr Popular as I can now hear other mower engines being started up, up and down the road, probably on the back of "If he's done his, you'll have to go and do ours"....
Think it'll be my round first, later on...

Today I went to the Dandenongs and to a shop type place to look for more pennys.
All they had were half pennys but I found three, and two wrecked halfs from the years I want (1900s)
At The Counter I said smiling that someone had bought all of them and was told that someone broke in and stole them all, plus they knew where the back up Pennys were; and got all the coins out of the wishing well
I was upset, I liked searching though to find coins I wanted.

No, that's why I'll just keep painting my sides and when it gets too bad I'll stick another fence inside the one we have. If they want to look at rubbish, fine. It's a bit of a no-win situation, I agree, and the house on one side being rented doesn't help. Sadly this is happening more and more in a once fine residential area. House prices today are killing folk off buying. Maybe "Dave" will sort it all out.Bruce Rioja wrote:Sadly, Tango, it's probably in your own fiscal interest to do so in terms of damage limitation, but can you put up with the 'mug' factor?
