A bit council (Vol 3)
Discussion
Trampolines, I've always thought of them as a bit Council, but my son has Cystic Fibrosis and when he's a little older, a trampoline has been recommended for him to help with the condition. I may have to refer to it as an elevated bouncing mat or something else equally pretentious. I thought I'd have a laugh and look on Scumtree earlier and I wasn't disappointed, it's always a pot of Council Gold.
I'm not sure what's more Council, flogging knackered old crap because you're too lazy to shift it, or buying broken potentially dangerous stuff for your kids to play on.
£5 buys you this.
Or this generous chap is giving his away because 'I can't be bothered to dismantle and pay for disposal.'

Stick it on Facebook so that someone kills their log burner.
"All fit for burning" - The metal drawer runners, the MDF, the Vinyl wrapped drawer fronts, what could possibly go wrong?

The Pallet is fine, but MDF and other fake woods contain nasty stuff don't they? so wouldn't want my kids around such a bonfire.I would look at builders skips etc for real wood being chucked.

Anyone who proclaims themselves to be the mad one in the group, or has a sign saying 'mad house' in their home...or puts those bloody minion quotes up on social media about being 'crazy'...... generally means they are anything but.
Or someone who, when you ask their name has to give that bit extra:"My names Mark. Everyone knows me as Mad Mark though."
"I'm Wendy, just call me Wacky Wendy, everyone does!"

If he leaves you to it - take the fence as well 
Although chumping the guy with a hammer when he turned up to complain might have had something to do with him being carted away I suppose

Hell, yes. A few years a go Mrs.T66 and I met a woman at a friend's party - "Hi, I'm Louise... but my friends call me 'Lone Wolf'." "My names Mark. Everyone knows me as Mad Mark though."
"I'm Wendy, just call me Wacky Wendy, everyone does!"

Yesterday I was wandering around a housing estate. In fact to set the scene: the same place where "rita sue and bob too was filmed", Buttershaw.
As I drove around I kept seeing tracksuited people with massive 48 pack, boxes of walkers crisps under their arms.
Obviously there must be a supply of moody crisps on the estate and people are taking advantage !
Added to this, took a turn down one street and there was a massive, full on 80's style Miami Vice racing speedboat on the drive. Black and red.
proper beast of a thing. Like you'd have outside a council house, 100 miles from the sea.
It was just missing a bloke in a linen suit with rolled up sleeves.
