The car has performed flawlessly.
My house and my dog are the money pits in my life.
Especially the dog!

We could sell T-shirts, we'd make a bloody fortune if the weather's nice. Always get a better turnout on a nice sunny day...

Erm hello, it's awfully dark in here. Can someone let me out. Or bring me some lunch. Or something.
Oh FFS! Who’s got the keys? Come on guys, it’s things like this is why we haven’t got any friends!
Then when the power is restored hes normally leering over you dribbling.
Nurse Hampton-Gussett has never recovered, despite having 'seen it all' she clearly hadn't quite seen it all.
I gave you a screwball as well!
Some folks are never happy.

We have opened the pool this afternoon,hoovered the crud off the bottom and it's almost good to go.
Just got to wait for the clore shock to dissolve and activate also wait for it to warm up a bit.
My Dad has lived in Spain for twenty years. In his current house he tapped into the mains running past his house and had a free standpipe hidden by bushes.Just got to wait for the clore shock to dissolve and activate also wait for it to warm up a bit.
He has a 15 x 8 metre pool and drains and fills it once a year.
It takes 4 days to fill.
Anyway they turned up and replaced the entire water main.
Dad lost his standpipe.
A couple of years later the mains burst.
Spanish water company turn up and discover a illegal offshoot!
Not my dads. Another. My dad has no idea where it goes, but as it lead into his property, he got a thousand euro plus fine.
TDLR. Dad nicked water off the Spanish for years.
Eventually an illegal water pipe was found going into his property.
Gets massive fine.
Illegal water pipe he got fined for was not his.

How can it possibly be nurtured to grow into a splendid legendary thread like Photoshop Bobbers if it's hidden in a place where nobody ever goes?
And why was the Appalling Flatulence thread deted from the Legendary Thread list? It was one of my favourites.
There are plainly some nefarious goings-on going on, aren't there?. Eh?
To what end? You may well ask.
We want answers. And weekend access to see the kids.

If dads pool is 1.5 metres deep that's 180,000 litre's of water!!!He has a 15 x 8 metre pool and drains and fills it once a year.

No wonder he was nicking it! What with the price price of Spanish water aswell!
I only half empty mine over winter. Rain can top it back up,so sometimes I have to syphon a bit out.
Mines only 4x7 so only 42,000 litre's. I could top mine up from my well but water is cheap enough here to just use the Mains water.
Afternoon all
A busy but productive day, all the ceiling's painted down to the one on the stairs, all the cutting in on the landing and secondary landing done and from the secondary landing and around half the main landing emulsioned!!!
That's a good call White Stiletto, yet another cunning plan!!!!
Good to see BigBen has survived come round after the initiation ceremony, sorry about the ribs old chap, I didn't realise it was so far from the top of the wardrobe!!!!

At the time he bought a derelict house with a good pool and rebuilt the house. No wonder he was nicking it! What with the price price of Spanish water aswell!

It is, as you see, full of originality, wit and perceptive brilliance. Shall I allow him in?
Weird trivial coincidence ahoy : driving home from work at half five this morning I was listening to an Ennio Morricone soundtrack compilation of his late '60s / early '70s stuff, when I got out of bed several hours later Mrs.P5B told me that Morricone had just died. A man dripping with talent from every pore.
