I'm one of the worst culprits of this.
Yeterday, I decided to attempt the fixing of my trailer lights that I broke on the day i got it. Smashed beyond repair, and finished off completely by a herd of sheep....i kid you not. eeek:
So, off to Halfrauds to purchase 2 new units.
After much fannying around, sitting in me swamp, fiddli' and fartin' about TRYING to fit them, unsuccessfully due to the spade connections being a different size requirement on the new ones, and not having these larger connectors to hand, I finally gave up for the day.
Sitting here quietly, glass of red in hand, it suddenly dawned on me. eeek:
I've got a fully operational and perfectly good trailer board, complete with stick on numer plate that the trailer hasn't got, hanging up waiting for action in the bloody garage! eeek:
Why TF don't I sit down and think about these things BEFORE plundering ahead.
Am I alone in this wilderness of utter doziness? sad32:
-
Nope. I bought a 30 metre extension lead yesterday and then found that the mower houses its own, er, built in extension lead. Didn't make much difference though cos the bastard exploded when I plugged it in!

Sounds like a normal sort of occurence for you Nick.
What I meant to say actually ::) was.....am I alone in this wilderness of utter doziness...apart from Nick. ;)

I haven't told Mrs Nick akbout the mower yet. Am going back later to see if it has, perhaps, sort of healed up overnight. cry:

Unless it was just a thermal cut out, that is not likely to have happened. whistle:
I almost called in to see you and Growler and perhaps even Snoopy this weekend... I was supposed to be in Chester on a course Friday/Sat & today but there were not enough takers, so it was called off. Never mind perhaps last 2 days of August?
For my sins, I am however going to Loughborough Uni, on the 25th to 27th of July, but I don't think that is close enough to anyone to meet up. sad24:
-
Loughborough is not near anywhere!
-
I have looked at a map. ::) I do realise that.
I sent an e-mail to a friend who used to work (research) there, to ask what I could or should do in the evenings and free time. rubschin:
The reply: It was 15 years since I worked there and 6 since I left the area and on infrequent visits back, it has changed out of all recognition. You are on your own. Gee Ta.
And I am scheduled to leave around 16h45 on Friday evening. Bliss surrender:
-
I haven't told Mrs Nick akbout the mower yet.
Well? Have you yet..... WIMP? ::)
Look. DON'T under ANY circumstances go in wimpering looking for sympathy and understanding. O.K.? evil:
Bluster in cursing and swearing at your own....justfiable...incompetance.
Depart soon after leaving her aghast at your honesty.
End of. Job WELL done. happy088

She and the Boy have gone out for the day, so it is blissfully quiet here. And the rain has just lashed down so obviously the thought of lawnmowing or hedge trimming is quite quite impractical. I might get electrocuted or something. No, not safe to do.
Think I might have to go to the pub instead. confused:

Ask Nick/Nicked.
Can't accuse me of nicking it. No latin in cars. Nick did it...nicked the Latin that is.

The Latin was only a symptom. ::)

Excellent, particularly the 'perhaps'. ;D
In the case of your mower it was "Tomorrow, perhaps, it will work". (did it?)

What he really means everyone, is that it battered it down for 15 minutes so he then decided to make the most of his freedom for the day and went to the ale 'ouse instead for a different kind of battering. eastdrink048

Sounds about right. Mr Wench suddenly developed hay fever when he realised he was meant to mow the lawn. evil:

Ah yes, but the lawn was wet all day. Mowing would have been dangerous..

Anyway, I've been thinking, rubschin: and IIRC your 'lawn' as you so eloquently put it, could be trimmed with a pair of nail scissors its that large. ::)

I have more than one lawn you know. It was the other one.
OK

How can you be a Polar Bear Mr. Growler? You are brown! Obviously the fur needs a dry clean razz:
Don't have the problem of grass mowing this side of the water - the tropical garden is gravelled between the plants. Perhaps you could do the same at Chez Nick eeek:

I have a box of cables..............But my Dad left them to me and, you know, they have sentimental value. But if you really need some, I suppose I could make the sacrifice..............

By the way, he took the bottle away so there was nowhere to put the cash but I found another of the bottles in the back room.
Unfortunately it was full, but with some help from my best mates Growler and Berek, we have emptied it for you.
Olga was very enthusiastic at helping as well, but she got carried away with that 'Yard of Ale' glass.
Actually, we tried to carry her away but she is a big girl so we left her asleep behind the food counter, errrr.. have you got a mop?
