I tried gardening today, I ran the lawnmover over the flowerbeds as that seemed easier than doing it properly.

I only do that when I run out of Agent Orange.

That's good gardening. I was mowing our garden last week and went over a bit of rough ground with the grass collector not attached and the flap on the mower tied up, I hit a hidden rock which was fired out the back at great speed and hit me right on the soft bit on my knee. It was a somewhat painful lesson.

It sounds like the rock may have been out to get you.

Were any rocks harmed in the making of this anecdote?

I think we can feel fairly certain that if the hidden rock had been sent almost vertically then some less robust rocks would have been in severe peril

I've given up saying that I'm going to do my gardening. Whenever I say it, it rains.
I'm keeping it to myself now, keep the weather guessing

I know what you mean, it won't burn when it's wet.

We love our garden and I'm currently sat in it having my breakfast before heading to the station. Beautiful morning!

Looking for fresh ideas for controlling pests and parasites. It won't be long until the children are home from university.

A cage built specially for them located udner the stairs sounds a good place to start

Start by changing the locks.

Start by changing the locks.

Next step - change your identity and your address.

Didn't DaleCooper already suggest Agent Orange and or napalm for that? Seems reasonable.

Blimey! I've never before been accused of being reasonable. Good job I didn't mention the thermonuclear option.

Ugh gardening, I like to tell myself I'm helping out local wildlife by not bothering. Must be doing reasonably well as a hedgehog has been around recently

I use that option in my head but I live in a curtain twitching hamlet so feel obliged to do something with the lawn at least.

Knocked my garden shed down yesterday and today as the new one is now fully commissioned for action, fortunately I remembered to check which one was which during my pre-demolition H&S checks saving me from a spousal beating

I see you've already captured it and made it your own, Doctor. Congratulations

I think you're confusing me with the user Ivo . I'm trying to find the 7 chaos emeralds and 50 rings so it can become super

I never played enough Sonic as a child to join in with the reference party.

I grew up on Age of Empires, Combat Flight Sim 1 and Silent Hunter. Now there was a game, launched via MS-DOS and looks like it was drawn in paint.

I only use the cattle prod for school mornings.

If you need rings so badly, just raid a jewellery store or three...

You didn't tell us you had twin boys.

I need to buy a new watering can tomorrow; the chemicals have eaten through the old one.

I've put far too much weight on since Christmas. I want to lose it, but the problem is I've been measured for a suit for a special event I'm due to attend later in the year, so I can't actually lose that much otherwise it will be too big...

Could you put the suit on a matching diet to yours?

I wish I could, but unfortunately the measurements can't be changed, so it looks like I'll have to wait until September before starting my diet properly.
