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.

The only Blue Oyster I know is Blue Oyster Cult https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPH2X70qlC8

Did you know that when you've finished with the hamster you can make excellent compost for flowers grown from bulbs? Just boil it with water and sugar and dig the resulting syrup into the soil. You'll get tulips from hamster jam.

I just burst out laughing at that and one of the girls (who has three hamsters and actually has an online hamster blog, I kid you not) asked me what was so funny?
I've opted not to tell her at this moment.

The 42 key gets me into the house next door, in times of need I use the toilet.

You do realise that every forum member living at number 42 is fitting bolts to their doors at this very moment, or checking their stock of air fresheners ..

Too late, I'm already inside - BEHIND YOU!

Well I'm actually in front of you and. Hang on.
I've never seen one like that before...
It looks a bit like one of those giant snails you get in Africa (I say giant).
Apparently they can eat about 500 different types of plant species.

Does anyone know what the highest house number is in the UK? I know of a 1713.

At great personal expense I have just finished a tour of the UK to find the answer to your question, it seems that honour belongs to 2679 Stratford Road Hockley Heath Solihull, if you don't believe me you can check via google as well ....... Ooops :oops:

I wonder if whoever lives there tells anyone that's listening that it's the highest numbered house in the UK all the time?
I think I probably would.

I meant the highest prime number, let's see you Google that.

While we're on the subject I wonder if any houses have an imaginary number like 3i+12. Imaginary numbers should be used for houses that are at 90 degrees to all the others in the row; houses that don't exist for any logical reason should have irrational numbers.

Easy peasy, 2677 is a prime number so, unless the demolition men have been down there, 2677 Stratford Road Hockley Heath Walsall must be the guilty party

Ha :D

10 Downing Street London should be a prime number address thingy, the rules should be changed immediately

I wonder how many other 10 Downing Streets there are?

There's one in Farnham, but there must be a few others.

Funnily enough I was in Leicester a couple of years back and entered III on my laptop, what I ended up with was finding some geezer buried under a concrete car park

Please don't try that in my garden.

I've spent most of the weekend gardening. It's been nice weather and I'm quite pleased with the results.
In your garden though, do you find that the mower bottoms out going over the various shallow graves, thus leaving unsatisfactory bald patches and triggering psychopathic outbursts, resulting in the whole vicious (ha vicious ;)) cycle carrying on?

Or not?

So it was you I could hear all weekend, I thought the noise was coming from the Churston Ferrers Go Kart track but it must have been your mower :-x

Ah Churston Ferrers ha harr (that name lend itself to a pirate style ha harr). It could have been me but I couldn't hear it because I had my headphones on listening to funny radio programs.
I like the view across the bay from Churston. Very English Rivera. Can you hear the steam trains from your garden (when the mower isn't running)?

Ha harr isn't what comes naturally to mind when stuck in traffic jams virtually every day on our inadequate cart track, sorry, A road

I can indeed hear the trains from my house, I wonder if I should put a 'Stop the train noise' placard up in my window actually. I had been thinking they were running 180s from Paignton to Kingswear this year, but now I'm thinking it's your blasted mower <(
