... It is rare that it happens but sometimes a long-term spouse/partner/significant other will unwittingly gift you with an opening for a witty response.

Today's chuckle occurred about 2 hours after a discussion regarding where to site a large powder-coated display stand that my brother made some years ago and that has been hidden behind shrubbery (because it was so hideous and not very useful). We had discussed whether I wanted to chop it up and use the steel for bike parts or other projects, whether we should offer it to our next door neighbour, or whether we should stand it out the front at the end of the driveway to let the scrap-man take it.

So, some 2 hours later ( a long disconnect) later she randomly approaches me as I am cutting up scaffold boards and says (out of the blue) "I think I'll take it up the back.".
She looked mystified and a little puzzled when I raised an eyebrow, smiles and said "That's terribly sporting of you old girl, I promise to start off slowly."

Then she realised what she had just said and slapped my arm and told me I was a bad boy.

Well both quotes are in and we really don't know who to pick! We liked the one chap but the other lot seem to have a better support team. Better sleep on it

Afternoon folks

I had a good day M not so
See helped a friend take a horse somewhere to get a shag (the horse) and somehow has wacked the trailer


Will have to get some fibre glass and try and tidy that up later. But first job is to get the light working again as apparently it is not working after being ripped out

My list will never get short, my job here is safe.

Liked out of sympathy, hope you can get it fixed

Yeah pretty sure once its all back in the right place and trimmed with a bit of fibre glass on the back, then a bit of filler and paint should see it looking good as nearly new
I haven't had to do any bodywork and painting for ages

Bet you swore a little bit!

 

[marjon]

Bet you swore a little bit!

Not as much as she did
Its all fixable, its not like its flesh and bleeding all over the place.

might use it as an opportunity to upgrade the lights as the lamp holders keep popping out and the light stops working. Had to pop 1 back in today before she left. Just need to try and get the same style but in LED. Think they are available as they are a common light cluster so should be available as LED so its a simple swap, Need to look.

That looks like a feckin fancy horse trailer/box, if I may say so!! Without seeing the rest of it.

So did I.
When Wifey goes off on one about "jobs not done" I do sometimes say "Well sack me, or take it up with my boss, oh well yes, you've already done that, no dice there then!"

Talking of things you can tow, any joy yet?
Or should I keep my big mouth shut!?

Tomorrow's the day! Today was grass mowing as it had got long - and it wasn't raining.
