Anybody else fix a shed roof this weekend then?
(Bazongaloid, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:01, 85 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

nope
I put handles on two doors, and rehung the one that wasn't hung. It went well.

is it now well hung?

fortunately the new hinges were exactly the same size as the old ones, and the door hadn't suffered for being off for almost 2 years, and having had about 10 layers of paint removed.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:13, Reply)

The fact
that the door had all that paint removed would have increased the available tolerance in fitting it to the frame, thus offsetting any minor warping etc.

this is true
fuck knows how it fit before because it's pretty snug now.

Actually, no, that was a lie.

Sorry

you should be all jealous.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:17, Reply)

I was thinking of going tomorrow myself
so if you see a man who looks like Charles II, wanking, crying and screaming the Lord's Prayer, whilst enojoying a delightful sizzling platter of seekh kebabs and chops, that'll be me.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:24, Reply)

Charles II and the laughing cavalier in the same restaurant at the same time?

it may cause a rift in the space/time continuum

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:27, Reply)

it seems more like it is symbolic of a healing of a rift in the space/time contiuum

Maybe you're right.
K2k6? You're the scientist.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:29, Reply)

Yes indeed
but I'm no historian, so I've no idea about Charles II, and the only Cavalier I have knowledge of was my old 1984 Vauxhall. It was laughable, rather than laughing.

It's definitely got my boobs.

( girlinthehole, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:39, Reply)

It's almost my boobs too
But my right one is smaller.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:40, Reply)

Woudl you believe I edited the original right boob
as I had drawn it a bit small, but I didn't want to offend you. I'll know in future.

Do you have names for them?
(Bazongaloid, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:41, Reply)

I do
Chas and Dave.
Dave's bigger because Dave Peacock has a giant left hand. There is evidence of this on my facebook.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:48, Reply)

Awww man
if only I was facebook friends with you, I could see your giant left boob.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:49, Reply)

You must know which one I am!!
Not unlike BGB but with lopsided boobs.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:52, Reply)

I know who you are
I just haven't asked you to be my friend yet as I've never met you. You might be weird in real life then I'd be stuck with a weird facebook friend.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:53, Reply)

I'm totally weird
and clingy
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:54, Reply)

That's what I'm scared of
you might stalk me and then my mrs would get upset.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:57, Reply)

It's ok, I'd stalk her too.
EDIT, and I meant evidence of Dave Peacock's giant hand, not my lopsided boob! I met him. And stalked him. And his wife. She's now dead.

I'm not fellating it
It's a female teapot called Maude!

Well what a weekend. Didn't all run smoothly but had lots of laughs nevertheless.

Saturday night my dad had to leave the works do early as he was throwing up like a trooper, bless him.
( girlinthehole, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 9:26, Reply)

He was throwing up because YOU
insisted on doing The Millennium Prayer on karaoke. Again.

we don't do covers

my lot used to to do the Grange Hill theme as an encore
we couldn't remember anyone else's either. Although we did do Glorious Om Riff by Gong but that has no words. We frequently fucked it up, too.

Got any Hillage or Gong yet?

In fact, I only just remember that I'm seeing Seth Lakeman tonight.

What's his bag? Would I like him?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 10:22, Reply)

it's modern folk stuff, but on proper old school folk subjects
he's a young chap who lives on dartmoor, recorded his first album in his kitchen. had to turn the fridge off while recording each take.

He plays a mean fiddle, some weird 4 stringed guitar thing, and sings well

I think he's awesome, particularly live
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 7 Dec 2009, 10:37, Reply)

I like folk provided it isn't twee
Being a history buff I think the old traditional songs are a superb - they're a direct source of the voices of normal people, who aren't usually represented in history books. My grandfather was a renowned expert on Scottish folk songs, and as such was the editor of The Oxford Book of Ballads.

He was throwing up because he hadn't eaten all day and we were let down at the Indian.
We got in for 7pm and some people still hadn't had their main meal by 11pm.

Most people were too pissed to eat by that time.

that's why she finds watching football so confusing, she keeps going "Why isn't he interviewing the other players?" and then she starts dribbling and touching herself, and quite honestly its embarrassing.

I did try to fix some gutters and made them worse, now have to pay a 'real man' to do the work instead. (Although I think that tons of masking tape works equally well Mrs T tends to disagree.)
