The Children's Off Topic Thread

Is that just to keep you out or so they can't see what you get up to behind the shed ?

Keep me in more like.
And it's a log cabin, albeit tongue and groove, as the actress said to the Bishop.

I'd like to meet this actress. She sounds like a very dirty girl

I've got to drop off a couple of sheets of asbestos at the tip on the way in tomorrow. Now, I know asbestos is dangerous stuff but these are two cement-bonded sheets which are as safe as can be expected unless they are damaged. I can't believe the lengths I have to go to to drop them off at the recycling centre.

First, make an appointment at least 24 hours in advance, double-wrap them in 1000 gauge polythene completely sealed up with tape. Then I have to produce proof of residency in the form of a utility bill and none of the blokes at the site are allowed to handle the stuff (double-wrapped and sealed, remember).

Is this taking elf 'n safety just a little bit far ?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Makes you wonder why people fly tip when the official way is so easy!!!!!!!!

[qbman1]

Now, there's an idea - save me £8 in polythene sheeting

Which tip did you take them to? My elderly neighbour has ten and has asked if I could get rid of them for her.

[Happydays]

A lovely sunny warm day here. I'm sitting in the back garden making the most of it.... forecast rain for the rest of the week:(

[qbman1]

The snipers have been alerted.

Just push him into all thad mud

[Happydays]

Weather forecast was wrong! I'm pleased to report that the weather is warm and sunny with no wind again:) I am making the most of it in case it's all we get this year;)

[qbman1]

I'm sure a baked bean and brussel sprout casserole will help

[Stephen]

With an extra strong chilli curry

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a Victor Meldrew moment when Steph McGovern on BBC Breakfast insists on pronouncing Stoke on Trent as "Stork" ?!

[Mervyn and Trish]

Probably just you! Not me anyway. Rarely watch. But those bastards who turn up late for flights.......

[qbman1]

Sorry, I forgot, living up there you are probably of the Stork persuasion too !

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm a southern softy by birth dontchaknow

[qbman1]

So you still can't understand a word any bugger up there says !

[qbman1]

What's all this nonsense about Theresa May and Mrs Krankie flashing their knees ? Who, in their right mind, wants to see Mrs K's draws anyway ?!

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm not that keen on the rest of her either

[Stephen]

Today's the day!

[Happydays]

About time! Sooner the better.
