Once they've been processed...
Mmm.... Soylent Green.

That's because there's so many people pushing them up!

Aren't people in graves supposed to be dead? Having said that I remember when lurking in a local cemetery I saw a headstone that said "JUST SLEEPING", I thought "he'll be pretty miffed when he wakes up".

I've noticed that we seem to have had a lot of Jon/John/Jonathans signing up lately... sometimes with very similar usernames.

This paint tray was about half a centimetre thick with various different kinds of paint including undercoat and emulsion.
I put it in the freezer for an hour, took it to the outside bin, twisted it around a bit and then smacked it upside down and all the paint fell out which left it looking almost like new.

Suddenly life seems worthwhile after all, thank you.

Wait a minute, is that the same tray or did you do a switch?

I'll have to try that when I do the decorating, thanks for the tip mate.

No I didn't, I've got another in there freezing at the moment. I can show you a picture if you want! No?
Maybe some other time then...
Another top tip: Dead butterflies make excellent hang gliders for flies.

No problem. You can have that one on me ;)

It's actually a really clever tip that, not something I would have ever thought of trying. It would save a lot of scrubbing to get the tray clean again, that's for sure.

Not that I tend to do any painting or DIY in general!

This morning I'm about to get a de-rancification going on, but first it's time for some tunes from The Offspring while I finish my forum catch-up. I really should have used this time to make a bacon sandwich...Chilling out seemed a better idea as I'm off to work in a bit on my day off.

So what was breakfast today? A piece of iced homemade cake :D:D:D

I posted this in the "Now Playing" thread but thought it might fit in here as well.

Well I just listened to it and I can definitely relate to it.
I've recently been banned from going to the recycling centre in the van as it's too long (over six metres is too long for Devon County Council apparently), so my future is likely to be quite like that song.

Why don't you drive in sideways, it will be about two metres long that way.

Great idea. Tomorrow I'll start the handbrake skid somewhere around Dawlish and see what happens.

Do people still keep budgies?

My cousin has a budgie and it's lovely. Very affectionate and it spends a lot of its time flying around the house.
Here's the little fella standing on my knee.

I was hoping for recipe suggestions.

Well there was a large interest, if you'll excuse the description, in budgie smugglers a couple of years ago :o

Not to my taste but as they say "One man's meat is another man's poisson".

I love little dicky-birds


With that and a mention of Budgie Smugglers I'm starting to wonder weather I'm on Rail UK or Blue Oyster Club.com :D

My kids have a Hamster, whom they dubbed Louis. You should see the fights when I tell them he needs feeding or cleaning out......They can't leave the room quick enough.
