How annoying can it get

I really worry about Mark, sometimes.

A very short while ago he asked me (Yes....ME)  about safety hints on a certain piece of 'gardening' equipment, that I'm only allowed to use, if a grown-up (Von) is supervising.

Well, incorrect use of a watering can can have life changing consequences!

You complete oik, Meirion.

I think even I would struggle to injure myself with a watering can.

Last time I used the (ahem) item....I was standing on rickety stone wall....with the 'item' over my head 'watering' a big bough.....Next to the lane.

Phil you would probably fill it with battery acid and sprasy on your foot, Or you'd fill it and the handle would snap, 20 lb (or 10 kg) on your foot

Battery acid ?
That's for wimps !

From previous experience, I'd more likely use petrol, and then ask Von where I'd left the matches.

Actually, I did blast my own eyebrows off with a watering can, a box of matches, and a spray can of insecticide in my youth.

Well the company we bought the bed from emailed me the instructions - they were the wrong ones.

So I used the almost correct instructions and have assembled the bed. Not slept in it yet.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Dont do anything too athletic in it !

[Techno]

Just wait.

Tomorrow he'll be telling us it collapsed as soon as he got into it ! 

(Hope it doesn't do that, Mark !)

We have already both sat on it and no squeaks creaks or groans (from the bed  ,from the bed!).   So should be all ok.  Its so fa across I am going to need  a packed lunch to travel across top the other side.

One of the very best decisions I have made in the last forty years was to go for a king-size bed.

[Orcs]

Yes, we thought about it and decided that the room was plenty big enough so it was daft not to get a big bed.

We got some new bedroom curtains at the weekend, went to put the pole up but realised the built-in wardrobes were going to get a bit in the way of the drill. Managed to work around that. Realised there were no hooks with them curtain or the rail. Parents had some spare, no worries. Watched a video on how to gather pencil pleat curtains (what a faff!) got to it, pull pull pull....missed the onscreen comment that the guy on the video had left "forgot to mention you should tie the other end of the strings before you do this".... 

Spent the next few hours rethreading around 9 meters worth of string back through the curtain tape. At least the last few years of painting little men have come in useful as it has given me the patience and precision to do such a thing without losing the plot!

Got them up in the end thankfully.
