There is a chain reaction option there......... lol:

She had been sitting in the wreckage of our flat when her car was done. She was all sympathy and urged us not to "react" and move away. Spent a lot of time boring us with tales of others who had "recovered" from the trauma etc etc etc. Then she left, found her motor had been broken into ~ radio nicked etc and came back, in tears, to us to borrow our telephone. This was back in the late eighties when mobile telephones were the size of bricks and only City types had them. I had to remind her that our burglars had cut the phone line (I assume they do that in case you have a burglar alarm with auto dial to the police) so she wept her way to the public telephone on the corner, found that had been wrecked and sobbed her way off down the road. We sat in the flat and wept ~ with laughter.

Calm down old chap
Would you be calm worrying yourself sick that you're either POSSIBLY going to lose thousands of pounds worth of gear at the hands of the 'friends' of the organisers of this bloody scarecrow show, or the alternative of finding somewhere close by to move and store it all safely?
I'm hopefully going for the 2nd option, and if you've got any suggestions as to where and HOW I'm going to store it all for 4/5 days and then back again, I'd be much obliged.
The container is just not secure enough. These pikey bastards will have bolt cutters, and will take whatever they find....probably the 3 ton container too in fact.
The 3rd option of course, is to camp out there and possibly face them as they attempt their thieving in the cover of darkness. Not a particulary rosy prospect however.
I may need counselling myself in a couple of weeks, but hopefully all will go off peacefully.

I thought so ~ but then that's what I used to sell.
Not cheap but between your insurance and theirs any losses will be more than covered and you might earn a discount or at least some brownie points from your insurers for doing so.

Can you insure a swamp?

I can't see even scouse/pikeys nicking a puddle ~ but he can certainly insure the vehicles, sheds, contents thereof etc. At least I hope he has eeek:

Well the crucified scarecrows are disappearing fast. Can you insure a scarecrow?

We bought a digital camera in Canada. If I can find one of the few remaining crucified scarecrows I will take a pic and post it here, in case you don't believe me.

I run an annual scarecrow festival. They don't all have to be crucified.
See www.dyserth.biz and click on the Scarecrow symbol.
Would you like a keyring or enamel badge with the logo on?

We told him to read the manual. We told him. WOuld he listen?
Mind you he is only 9. And I don't read manuals either shrugs:
-
I feel sorry for him. My little boy took loads of pictures when he went to Cub Camp and tried to rewind the film himself ~ opened the camera before it was safe to do so and lost the lot. He was devastated. Yes he now has a digital.
-
The search for the digital camera was a highlight of the holiday. We were also watching a video of the trip last night in wich Mrs Nick was doing the camera work and The Boy the commentary. He kept referring to her as "my glamorous assistant." eeek:
-
Bless him ~ that's one bright kid.
-
You haven't seen Mrs Nick! cry:

You haven't seen Mrs Nick! cry:
Why? Is she glamorous??

She id not

Flattery will do him no harm in her eyes.
Anyway Nick ~ none of us are what we were. Tempus Fugit and all that.
Besides even if it only shows he can take the piss and get away with it ~ you should be very proud.

She can look glamorous from a distance. I find 250 miles about right.

I have to wait in for the roofers, but the Boy's tennis camp finishes today, and with Mrs Nick at work (UCAS Clearing) we have to do something........I shall bring you some Famous Grouse. Are the puppies at home?

Err . . .
Say hello to the Great Orme for me will you?
I would hardly have mentioned it in context of Llandudno if I weren't aware of what it was, now would I?
Spent many happy hours in Colwyn Bay and Llandudno as a nipper - lived in Shropshire in them far off days.
Have to say, I'm surprised. They seem to be about the only places in the Principality that haven't changed their names in recent years.

I have many fond memories of the Great Orme. cloud9:
Spent many a long cold wet windy dark night up there, clinging onto a grassy embankment watching all my heroes chucking their mk1 Essys around the bends on the Daily Mirror RAC rally. They were the days. ::)
More recently, I've ventured onto the dry ski slope, but they've managed to bollox that up now with the new one piece surface they've recently installed. Downright bloody dangerous imo. eeek:
Ever stayed in the lighthouse B&B on the right half way up? Fantastic!
I've been in it and visited the master bedroom. Directly outside the window is a 200 ft drop into the Irish sea. shocked003

Beautiful. There are the grassy banks that I used to cling onto. Bloody muderous, but thousands of others did the same.
I dare say the H&S executive wouldn't allow it now though, not that the once great International Rally ever comes up here anymore anyway, bastards. evil:
