I will counter that with .... Velcro

Hmmmmm....
I am conflicted it seems.
Youngest boy reaches out for help in "getting his garden sorted".
I do lots of work with him and then (injured) I tell him he really needs to get a bloke in.
The "Bloke" in question is a really good guy works like a demon and only charges £150/day.
I tell my boy to "get her done mate" and offer to lend the money required.
Fast Forward 2 weeks and.... the garden is "DONE" Smashing & lovely.
But... the normal £200/month my lad pays me for the other £5k he has borrowed isn't paid.
Call him and all I get is excuses about "birthdays and i-pads" and his wife buying a dog.
WTF!!!
Disappointed-R-Us.

 

[DanClarke]

I is back from the pub... it was horrible....

I think you are telling the biggest of "Pork-Pies" ever

I actually have a roll of Velcro somewhere. Half inch wide by about 10 metres long. Used, weirdly enough, for tidying cables up on PC builds.

Yes but you'd better make sure your pockets are deep

Yes. When in the pub I fail to get to the bottom of them to find money to pay for my round.
There IS money in there..... I just cannot reach it. Honest!
