I think I've just set some sort of record for bachelor cooking foodwrongness.
Cumberland sausages and bacon, fried and chopped, then added to cooked pasta with Uncle Ben's curry sauce and chilli sauce and garnished with a generous slathering of crispy onions.

my friend's dad bought one of those ride-on lawnmowers before anyone else had ever seen one and it was his pride and joy (in his defence he is stupidly mega-rich and his garden is more like a county)
it promptly got nicked. he bought another. it promptly got nicked. he built electronic gates to protect the third one. it tickled me to think of someone veeeeery sloooooooooowly getting away on the first two.

60's and 70's is not good. In theory it should be weatherproof but stress-cracking, UV exposure, variance in build/fill/glass/epoxy quality mean it's a no from me!

I could get £10,000's rent on a safety deposit box and just put a note saying 'You're a cunt!' in it.
Then sling the key away. I'll sign it over to the person who pisses me off most without them realising it. Once the rent expires, they'll probably go in to retrieve the contents thinking that it contains something of worth. At which point the written message telling them that they're a cunt will be a revealed. The deposit box company will have a good laugh, and if it gets nicked then I'll just be calling the theieves cunts.
