Has he sent out an S.O.S?  We should rally round. Where is GOS he could organise a band, we could get that nice MR Brown to pay a visit and mumble his condolences, that should cheer them all up.  I will organise some food parcels and start knitting some socks.  Has anyone got a spare tent and some cooking equipment.


I do so like a good disaster. eveilgrin:

Are you sure he didn't say "Flooded with Texts"?


No ~ the silly arse has probably drilled through a water pipe. ::)

Wasn't it The Boy who was given the task of hosing something?

Oh shit! You're right.





But the garden is miles from the house (well twenty five yards at least) the construction is odd but one has to go into the lane and walk up it to re-enter the garden. Other property lies between them. The constituent parts are well apart I promise ~ unless Nick connected the hose to the kitchen tap, which I suppose given his track record is probable. Personally I'd have used an outside tap or forgotten the hosing bit of the task.

Let me guess, Nick followed BM's paintpod instructions so the moment he switched it on it exploded flooding Nick Towers with magnolia.

On the bright side, other than a Nick shaped void on one wall, the room is now painted.

The tide is out here so his flood should have receded. May come back in 12 hours though  whistle:

Wasn't there a horror film made about just such an event in the 70s?
