  1. @Ontario Firewood Resource Cheers for that Anthony, it was pretty slick (but then I’ve always been a sucker for a power plant tour)
  2. Did you ever have a go with Nutella or peanut butter? You can smear it really firmly onto the trap trip, so that the mouse has to put some hard work in to get it off.
  3. I generally rely on a pair of jet-black terriers to solve our vermin problems, but I could see that would only create additional problems with your current mousers!
  4. Don’t knock Spam. As a precaution against shortages caused by bird flu, I’ve been considering getting in some practice at ‘carving the bird’ for Christmas.
  5. During English class the teacher asks Little Johnny "have you ever heard of the word contagious before?" "Of course miss" Johnny replies "my dad actually said it when we were talking yesterday". "Can you repeat it for the class and tell us how he used it in a sentence?" ‘Yes, miss. We were watching the neighbours tree guy trying to reduce an apple tree using two ropes, and after a while my dad got bored of how slow progress was. “That’s enough”, he eventually says, “let’s do something else, at this rate it’s going to take the contagious .”’
  6. Aaaahhhh, MySpace. I still get a disproportionate amount of pleasure by singing along loudly to Clean Bandit’s ‘Tick tock’ but substituting each tick tock in the chorus for a MySpace. Kids these days, so easily baffled.
  7. Difficult to say really without knowing much about your employer’s situation, but as said above, It’s not a bad thing to demonstrate an appropriate level of responsibility for the damage. That being said, if it was a genuine accident that occurred whilst you were trying to get your days stuff done, these things are annoying, but to be expected. Unless your employer is in an absolutely dire financial situation, it seems a touch unreasonable to expect you to replace a very well used looking ladder with a shiny brand new one.

    Jokes???

    My, is that a stool I see there?
  9. Actually, as they’re someone else’s, it may be safer not to say.
  10. What exactly were you doing with them when they ‘snapped’??!?

    Jokes???

    I was at Morrison’s today and a whole rack of Omega 3 supplements collapsed on me. It was more embarrassing than anything, so I scarpered quick with nothing worse than super fish oil injuries.
  13. That’s a shame, I saw this having been told to find some scented candles. Thought It could also be the perfect present idea.
  14. Marriage Counsellor: “Your wife says you never buy her flowers, is that true?” Me: “To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers.”
  15. @Stubby Do you know (by chance) if that Redline 2t stuff is similar to Castrol R40? Does it smell good?
  16. A boy asked his crypto-savvy dad if he could have £10.00 worth of Bitcoin. Dad: £9.37? What do you need £11.32 for?
  17. FFS… I was only kidding….. …is nothing sacred? 😂
  18. Possible work-around?
  19. So, as long as you are confident you can maintain a fine rate below once per year, it may be cheaper than registering with Woodsure.
  20. Fire here alight just to get saw trousers and wet weather gear dry. Weather is appalling.

    Jokes???

    The other day I asked my boss if he’d agree to a pay rise. “Why would I want to do that?” He asked. I told him that there were at least 3 different companies after me. “Really” he asked sceptically “Which ones?" "Gas, Water, and Electric."

    Jokes???

    I once said to a Waitress, “May I ask you something about the menu please?”. To my amazement she slapped me. “What was that for?” I stammered. “The men I please are none of your business!” She said.
  23. well yes, cordura. But I think corduroy would be most excellent, but possibly not in this rain!
  24. For Christ’s sake don’t buy a cordura motorcycle suit….. far to much risk of misidentification!!
