It can clearly be used as in nom de plume or in nomenclature - terms which are bizarrely distantly related.

The apostrophe is however always Bobbers’s, to be used in place of all punctuation in its single form. I think a double means wow but I’m concerned about the threshold at which point either he or the reader has a heart attack. Clarification would be useful as I’m a RVS volunteer waiting 626 hours on-duty for a first call so needing to know these Vital Signs. If I’m called out for a double question mark and asterisk I’ll need to know if I take jump leads or an aspirin

Apostrophe?

Do you really mean Bobbers' exclamation marks[b]?!!!!!!! ]/b]

Bloody hell. That’s a definite seizure. I’m on my way. Latex gloves and Drain Clear packed as I suspect a blockage.

Yes I did mean ‘e - marks’ but trying to avoid the term for fear of receiving an invoice for royalties.

No............. I have six

Gordon someone - can't remember his surname - who had a Jeep something or other, chimed into a who-has-the-most-gears conversation with his bid of eight. His was automatic with eight gears.

He was known for the rest of the contract as Eight Gears Gordon.

Finished the kitchen, decided to go a bit mad and deep clean it, how does a washing machine get so dirty?!?!?

I read a thread on ( maybe here? ) years ago, some sad bd detailed a Dyson.

Unless it’s someone here, then wow you have a great looking hoover

That was some guy on detailing world i think, i remember seeing that waaay back in time on here but i don't think it's available anywhere anymore. Someone must have locked it

Yeah, steady. There was a thread started on here years ago by a bloke cleaning his wheelie bin.

NorthDevon66 and Stuart70.

Where'd they go? Strong start at the beginning of the volume, then nothing.

Were they abducted by Greenfields?

Chim came in but only to say goodbye.

Devout churchgoers next door. A bit like devout Christians but far too picky with their Commandments. We're all out there at 8 applauding the NHS and he came out to fetch his bin.

[DickyC]

The point I was trying to make was that Mr Sanctimonious had eight hours to drag his bin in from the road but he chose that particular two minutes in which to do it. Irrespective of his views on the merits of clapping the NHS he could have waited although knowing him I suspect he was actually registering his disapproval.

[DickyC]

V6 touched on the problem of the degree of merit. Doctors and nurses: yes. Supermarket shelf stackers: yes, but less than doctors and nurses. The clapping is most people saying, "I want to do something but I dont know what it is or how to express it."

[DickyC]

No, I won't start that argument with him, Bobbers, but I might reawaken the dormant disagreement about his fking hedge*. Unable to go to the tip at present I'll put all the clippings in his drive.

That'll show him.

* Hedge. A loose term he and I use to describe the thicket on his boundary made up of 10% holly, 10% pollarded chestnut, 30% unknown and 50% hawthorn. They're not garden people. Grrr.

Good Morning. The tide is out.

Did it go out very quickly? If so, drive inland to high ground as fast as you can.

Bobberoo99 said:

We've got a couple of holly saplings growing at the bottom of the garden in our wild corner, I have no idea what Pollard chestnut is, or to be honest hawthorn, but this unknown you speak of, we have loads of that in our wild corner!!!!!

They made out they were doing us a big favour and said they were going to take down the chestnut tree. Instead they had it cut off at two metres above the ground which is recommended hedge height. They - he more than her - is a smartarse. Cutting a healthy tree results in it sprouting, a technique known as pollarding. You had a tree; you now have a bush. In this case a five metre high bush.

Bobberoo99 said:

Surely you can just take a chainsaw to it and level the whole thing down to 2m? I thought there were restrictions on height for bushes on adjoining premises?

There are. I have his agreement in writing that he will maintain the height to two metres. He ignores it. The next step is a formal dispute which, as I'm sure he knows, can have a detrimental effect on house values. Right by the house he took down a section of hedge completely and planted fast growing trees. Trees are not bound by the hedge rules. It's okay, I live next door to a and try not to let it rule life.

[DickyC]

Pretty little flowers.

The hawthorn.

I'm not just reciting random niceties.

[DickyC]

Ooh. Just looked it up. Invasive weed.

That's interesting.

My arsenal just grew slightly.

Does my arsenal look big in this?

We used to have a hawthorn tree. I called it Mike.

And our front lawn was named after another famous British racing driver.

Just looked up a house I used to pass regularly. It always made me smile and it's for sale!



We could have a whip round and buy it as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Towers.

Is the Dicmeister still messing with his neighbours bush?

We thought about seeing out this nightmare in the TT Suite at The Dicmeister. But, in common with The Ritz, The Savoy and Claridge's, The Dicmeister is closed.
