Eye has bortid me water butts a rain harvesting fing which goes in me castle drain pipe to filter snd divert water to me wster butts. Yer turn a fing to harvest or not. Can't gerrum int chops so had to order online. Bin meaning to set this up fer yesrs but we only had about 25mm of rain during March and April. When it does rain again eye wants to collect as much oft me castle roof as eye can. Currently only get rain from half me garage.

You'll find they do fill up quite quickly and when full it automatically rediverts it back down the drain pipe. your water company might give you money off if you use one. Ours gave us this do-dad together with a water buttt, cover, and stand for a few pennies I seem to remember. The weak point on ours was the tap.
Best of luck wiv it!

You could go full on and have the scar highlighted with some tattoo work.

Give over, it already makes his bonce look like a capital "O"!

Bic is cellerbratng 70 years ovvits pen.

Oh yes, the one's Mr Biro got diddled out of the patent fees for, poor sausage.
So I won't celebrate with Bic.

Funny how we call them Biros and the frogs call 'em Bics. (Or "stylo a bille" if they is feeling posh. )
They were massively expensive when they first came out, of course my dad bought one, (This was long before I was born) and a cousin whom I have never met, dropped it down a hole in the ground, he was only little. My pop was furious.

Funny this, all my family say I am amazingly like him, yet we have never met. Prolly dead now. Went off to live in Serth Efrica.

Tidying shed, what does one do with old Haynes manuals and how many have you got ??
Stay sane all

Soz about the WC.
I have loads of Haynes manuals and love the older ones that were actually good with exploded diagrmas and advice as to how to do jobs they don't tell you how to do now. Like stripping down a differential of a gearbox. I have got rid of a few but still have a boxful in the loft as well as the ones on my shelf for ready reference.
If you look through them you may spot the error they made years ago to do with the connection of the LT wire to the distributor. they got where to put the insulator or summat wrong. In the wrong country to check now. The connection to the contacts. I saw it once then checked in the others, it was even in a manual that Johhny Haynes wrote before Haynes really kicked off, my bro had that one.
Since they have gone digital they are becoming collectors items. And worth more money.
I'll have to use my fingers and toes to work out how many I must have, from here!

So the answer to the question is, keep 'em, or sell 'em. But indoors not where they might get damp!

Crikey I bet that was painful, looks like you got a zip on your head

THAT's what it reminds me of! A (smooth) rugby ball, but with a zip rather than laces!

Reminds me of the Billy Connolly bit about adverts to join the army.
"Bolt through the neck, zip up the back o the heed, screw on beret...." etc etc etc!!!

.... that my cheddar cheese & onion bread sarnie filled with home-made thinly sliced chicken tikka is a very nice lunch.
No word on the old bird yet and as they say at hangings "no noose is good noose".

Give over, it already makes his bonce look like a capital "O"!

Reminds me of the joke about the bloke who had a W tattooed on each buttock cheek.
When he bent over, everybody said 'WOW!'

You'll have to grow some hair to cover it up

He could borrow a wig off a freelanderer

I love this post, nothing to do with the original post, but still makes me laugh!!

The original post was about Freelanderers so it was best to move on

Curiouser and curiouser....
We cannot get through to the hospital ward (technical difficulties are cited).
As far as we know the old gal still has not been seen to and is lying there without any contact with/from her family.
Abandoned? Seems that way. I do hope that they are monitoring the rampant infection in her leg wound because if she develops systemic sepsis they are going to get it from me (both barrels). I am very unimpressed with the local NHS trust.
