They actually painted a fly in the bottom of the urinals in a Dutch airport few years back. Every guy tried to hit the fly and there was an improvement in cleanliness as far fewer splashbacks went over the side.

Latin for bee is apis.
Should’ve gone to the Dutch Specsavers, Simon.
Or maybe the Dutch misinterpreted the joke. H2J help needed.

Yup, sure looks like a fly to me.
Obviously the joke doesn’t translate.

Driving sideways on this stuff ... crusty ice in the middle, sheet ice to drive on - who needs a skidpan?

You had one running around your signature or avatar years ago Nick.......... :lol:


I've been felling some huge trees today/yesterday with and for my old mate Davey T. :-D

Neither of us have lost our crazy senses of humour, neither of us have ever grown up, or become any more sensible in all the years we've known each other. Always manage to find a laugh, even when we have put ourselves a bit too close to danger. And there have been a few scary incidents involving chainsaws, petrol, fire, falling timber and flying squirrels

It's been great spending time with Dave and Maxine :P

Chopping down 7 trees like dominoes with Mr Eds with the squirrel on his head- seriously it dropped out of one of the trees and nearly fell on his head. Eds made it homeless.

No utube vid they all fell where we wanted them to. Threaded through the eye of a needle

Free firewood if anyone wants any- bring you own chainsaw- mines broke. Enuff to fill a few 7.5 tonners

Seriously you can have it free!!

Donations could be made to The Christie hospital tho....

Noticed your post Eds- great times great company

I had a similar size box arrive and couldn't remember ordering anything but a thermostat ... but at least it was protected with airbags... :lol:

Christ......why do they do that ? I'm sure all these companies have some sort of pledge/statement regarding waste/recycling,etc,etc, and then they do this all the time !!

I bought from an online company but found it used Amazon as a distributor so Amazon is to blame for that stupidity. I do try to avoid using Amazon on principle since I learnt they paid so little Corporation Tax, but will if they are significantly cheaper - not often... :-D Avoid Starbucks too !
