Yep. The thing is fatboy, I bought a petrol guzzler last year with a reputation of shocking reliability.

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

What day is the public hanging? It's been ages since the last one.

idea 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... smile

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!
ALERT. DONT let Stuntman near you in this situation - he has a habit of 'not finding the light switch' and passing you an 'ice lolly'

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.
Can’t believe your complaining.

I gave you a screwball as well!

Some folks are never happy. frown

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.

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. rofl

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.

Seems I now have one as well:

How terribly disappointing that it has been tucked away in the dusty mice-infested store cupboard of Website Feedback.

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. frown

If dads pool is 1.5 metres deep that's 180,000 litre's of water!!!

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.

Your idea of a screwball doesn’t quite fit with the accepted version, which only has one ball for starters....

Mrs Bobbers made tea tonight, it would appear that she's suffering from some sort of malfunction, tea was supposed to be cottage pie, but she ended up making a cross between bolognese and cottage pie after she added a tin of chopped tomatoes to it!!! Tasted ok though!!!

If I might have your attention. There is gentleman at the door making a lot of the right noises but who has either forgotten the password or is simply a prospective member hoping to gain entry by some imaginative persistence. Here's an example:

It is, as you see, full of originality, wit and perceptive brilliance.

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.

You only get the sprinkles if you're going Dutch.

ETA: Or if your roof leaks.

But that's another story...
