thirteen days ago...
after having to miss my weekly fix of "camp and ham" the previous night (casualty if you cannae guess!)

and after a solid 6 hours systematic-every-corner-nook-crannie-draw-box-root-and-branch search of the house i finally admitted the truth to myself.

i went out to the van and fetched makita cordless drill, 102mm holesaw and the expanding foam gun. ten minutes later i had extracted the 2 remote controls, six clothes pegs, hairbrush and 40p from the inside the bases of the 150watt floorstanding wharfedale loudspeakers in our living room...

where i knew it had been all along but hadn't been willing to face up to the thought of the damage about to happen to my prized stuff and ego and pride and ting.

i had even glued the cutouts back in wiv da foamgun and popped a rolled-up piece of wadding in each bass port to remove the temptation without removing the bass.

however i have not bothered trimming off the small amount of excess foam or tried to disguise the fact.

just so that in 16 or 17 years i can point to the speakers and ask babyblaireau (currently 17 months) if she remembers playing "post the stuff in the round hole?"









when she's got her mates round!









and revenge will be mine!









HA!

Used to have a habit of getting his kit off at every opportunity and running around the garden.

First Girlfriend seems like a good time to show them.

He also killed a VCR by feeding it Q-tips.

And I'm missing a head torch and a set of walkie-talkies so I feel a room-search coming on.

why didn't you just take the bass driver out?

Strange man.

cos, johnnyevil...
they are "tuned length" speakers so taking the bass driver out would not improve access to the area under the bass port.

i did think about it before plunging in with the holesaw.

however, unlike your good self, i had all the information available before i acted.

so i'll forgive you for slating me.

this time!

TEEHEE.

and yes, i am strange and fanks for noticing!

but i'm far from daft.
