You know when you have a random key in the back of the kitchen drawer, next to your collection of run out pens and that Chinese you never go to ?



I've always wondered what it was for.

You've got a Chinese in your kitchen draw bloody handy if you can't be arsed to cook, I reckon.

Alright, look love it's like when your mate's bought some new shoes, she pops round of a coffee and browse of heat magazine with you, but the inconsiderate cow leaves the new shoes in the box and simply tells you she bought a pair, you get excited at what's going to be in the box, and you're just itching to have a peek, your mate plays them down and says they're only a work pair, but you're just moist with expectation, and chaffing at the bit to have a peek, she goes for a wee and you can resist no longer so you grab your chance and open the box. Inside you find that Jimmy Choo as been outed by a pair of crocs and your heart sinks, but it was fun waiting wasn't it? Now where's dinner?

That really reminded me of something Dr Cox would say off of Scrubs (if anyone is a fan!).

That boulder.

I am assuming the previous owner's father didn't roll it up the bank, so was it there when the bunker was in use (which seems unlikely as it would be a danger and therefore diminishes the possibility of a bunker existing) or could it have rolled down from above?

Top marks for initiative!

I don't understand this thread. Maybe its a man-thing?

It is a man thing but all girlies welcome!

Hope you're not opening a 'can of worms'.....

They've excavated enough underground rooms in the Channel Islands recently.

Next week you might have Tony and the Time Team all round digging up your garden.

Like i said before, the boulder is a puzzling part. Its very smooth and round, unlike all the other rocks that are strewn over the entrance. And whilst we live in the bottom of a valley (meaning it could feasibly have been smoothed by historic running water) the bunker / tunnel entrance (whatever it turns out to be) is clearly located right under it, which in my mind means it must have been placed there. The entrance road going into the tunnel on the wartime picture is unobscured too.



Primitive booby trap? Perhaps a bit far fetched! I'm loathed to break it actually, because it would make a nice sort of monolith feature in the garden . But I guess unless someone has a chinook handy to airlift it, I have to break it up if I want to explore further

Ummmm. Do you have a local builders merchants? Do they have a truck with a HYAB crane thing on it. If so is it strong enough to lift your rock.

Use digger to roll rock onto a net/weave of straps. Lift onto back of truck. Sell rock.

[Fume Troll]

You could easily roll that rock about with the digger. Just put down old pallats and junk wood to protect the ground.

that's what I thought. May weigh 8-10 tonnes but it's smooth and round. If the Ancient Egyptians could shift square rocks around without a digger I'm sure you can with a bit of lateral thinking

And get on with it would you - I'm not going to have net access from the morning for a few days so need to know!

That's what I call rock & roll.

Excellent work!

With regard to the boulder, have you tried driving the batmobile at it at high speed (after first driving it at a barrier that collapsed just before it was hit)? You may find that it rolls to one side automatically giving you easy access.

[Maxf]

The rock is interesting. It seems to have been deliberately placed over the entrance - so what did it? Would the original owner of the house had the equipment to move 8 tonnes of rock? Would a German tank be the most likely vehicle to have moved it (meaning the contents are undisturbed since 1945).

I think you need to employ dung beetle tactics and roll it somewhere. Even better drill a hole in the boulder and fill it with explosives posting the video up here of it's demise.

[illmonkey]

How does one gauge the weight of a rock without being able to lift it?

Although it apparently 8 tonnes, surly it could of been rolled using that digger?

Bookmarked, as i loved the other story with hidden rooms. Unfortuantly my 4 square meter garden infront my flat is unlikly to have a hidden war time hideout under it

As said, put the mx5 to good use and use as some form of battering-ram once its rolling you can just push it at speed, dive out of the car and everyones a winner as they both tumble into the sea.

Seriously though, this is awesome, although do you know that its not going to be 100% filled in?

That would be very anoying..

Once the OP finishes his own garden, he needs to get over to Oak Island

Is that the place with the Newfoundland Money Pit or whatever it's called?

Yes Sir

[vincenz]

Excellent thread, keep us updated!

[Hyperion]

I'm slightly annoyed you didn't try and move the boulder...couldn't you have tied a rope around it and used your MX-5 to drag it out of the way or something? ...I mean honestly

(Seriously - Great thread, can't wait for the outcome)
