[Lumpy]

Two in as many days.

OH bought more loo roll on Tuesday as requested as I was getting through our huge stock very quickly - having the snotties and piddling every 30 mins due to the amount of fluids I was drinking..............so he came back with a 12 pack..................brilliant thought I.

Opened them this morning and you could sand wood with the stuff.........my red nose is now a violent shade of crimson.

And, beggar me if he didn't moan at me this afternoon for buying this sandpaper loo roll.

I have a free weekend and ALOT to do up the allotment.. mother nature, however has different ideas..

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Hey Captain! A word of warning!

Never ever go against "Mother Nature" coz I swear, you will never win!

[Snadger]

I dunno whether this could be calssed as a minor rant or a major rant. Just came back from the allotments not knowing there was something amiss.
Had a phonecall from one of the plotholders saying his shed had been broken into and a well hidden air rifle had been stolen. All in all he knows of five at least that were broken into, mine was the next in the line but can't say I noticed anything missing. Hopefully that was because i don't lock my sheds so they didn't even look in them?
Plotholder is talking about giving his plot up because of it. He caught two youths a couple of years ago, and got the Police. One 15 year old lad and a 15 year old lass. Both taken to the police station then let go with a talking too! Plotholder has given up on involving the Police and I can't say I blame him!

As Secretary I'll have to check on who's been broken into and report it to Police.........dammit!

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Snadge!

Stopped reporting ours yonks back as it was a faff and clearly evident the Police were very little interested if truth be known, a little annoying I must admit, but then having someone run into the side of my car a good few months back, CCTV at said junction, was told they didn't have the resources to view it!

So why have CCTV ya "Twillocks"

My Rant - that people keep air rifles in allotment sheds - that's just irresponsible and probably illegal. I'm sure the police will take a dim view of that. Hardly surprising that he doesn't want the Police involved

My extra rant is that I promised myself that I would not post on the rant thread in 2017 but this has annoyed too much to ignore.
Sorry Snadge, I'm not ranting at you and I hope your shed is OK.

[Alison]

I know VC has already ranted about it but people keeping any kind of firearm in a shed (however well hidden) is totally unacceptable. I know people will say it's only an air rifle but it's really not the sort of thing that should be left lying about irresponsibly.......

[Potstubsdustbins]

Whilst I agree with you Alison a air rifle is not a firearm (unless used in a criminal offence) and is therefore not subject to the same restrictions except in Scotland where they have just changed the law.

[veggiechicken]

Air weapons must not be stored where
unauthorised people, particularly young people
under the age of 18, might gain access to them.
For example, use a lockable cupboard and keep
the keys secure. Air weapons should be stored
inside a house rather than in an outbuilding,
such as a garden shed.

Yet another ailment...
Managed to skid on the wet, nonslip tiles at the baths ...and managed to get my toe stuck in a small grille
Result......one shredded toe, one badly bruised and strained forefoot!

Your 'online food shopping ' arrives, and you realise, you haven't actually ordered the ingredients you need for tonight's dinner, so have to go out to shops now anyway!
