The good morning thread

[Vampyrebat]

Notice the discrete “cat effigy” skilfully tatood to scare off birds from said offerings!
They think of everything our bin ladies.
Committed to trash.

Wasn't sure if it was a Cat or a Butterfly..............Not that I was over studying them it!!

I think I have met my match! Cannot get the blighter to lift out of the ground. Stuck tighter than a nun’s virginity!

More religious references on SM these days than in the War Cry or Watchtower

As the rules state, "if it moves and it shouldn't - gaffer tape, if it doesn't move and it should - WD40".

You're very welcome!

Still waiting for IT to be fixed... not happy sat at home with nothing I can do but dread the work that is backing up.

Wish I'd have known about this a few years ago. Wielded a stump grinder all day and it practically killed me!

Just as well, those boxes are too small to take it anyway.

A nun?? That's just weird.

In which case I suggest Rohypnol, the discerning Casanova's aphrodisiac of choice.

What is it that’s vexing you?

 

[2b1ask1]

In ground trampoline it is a heavy metal frame and box in a metal box that is set in the ground, it should lift out, if fact I lifted this one out 4 years ago. Since then however they have resurfaced around it and I suspect there is material between the two boxes giving stiction!

I will return with heavy artillery! Including but not limited to a 30ton bottle jack!

Morning all. Thought I'd recapture my title of early riser

Bout of indigestion of unknown origin suggest some walking around and chalk might be helpful at this hour. No biggy.

Taking mother in law for a hearing test in town today. That'll be fun. Have a good one, all

Morning all......

Isn't that late to bed more than early riser C....

Have a great day all.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Good morning everyone (except those heretics who pit their bins out today).
Early shift, already done some work 'rsync - a - - delete SDS-1:/log 07-July' so much easier these days... In the past we wouldn't have cared less...

Have fun all

The thought of you doing manual labour alone surprises me.

Morning all going to be 34° here today so after a full day in the house yesterday today will be a lazy one in the garden by where the pool will be one day
Stay Safe all.

Morning everyone. Well its chucking down with rain in Cumbria this morning and I've got a chap coming round in half an hour to assess the level of contamination in the soil where my oil tank is. Last weekend I discovered that I had a big leak from our oil tank; lost around 500lts into the ground! Its soaked into around 5 cubic metres of soil, so after speaking to my insurance company and the Environment Agency yesterday, the whole lot has to be dug out and disposed of as hazardous waste. So I'm going to have a big hole but at least the garden wont smell like the oil sands of Alberta! So the insurance company will cover the costs of the oil spill and any decontamination, but not for a new oil tank or the concrete platform for it to sit on. So much for paying for a premium insurance policy. So a busy few days getting this sorted out now.
