Re: Little things that irritate you
Jetwashed the patio this morning, then spent 20 minutes clearing up and packing everything away. Turned round to admire my work and noticed two fresh bird shits on it. Feathered f*ckers.

Re: Little things that irritate you
As on a previous page, constipation. Allied to being in hospital due to high calcium levels ( nothing dangerous though folks). Two lots of NHS curry powder and no movement since Sunday .
Dunno when I'm out, all depends on the latest blood test. I've got more holes in me than a f*****g watering can

What was the problem then - a mix-up at the hospital - are you who they say you are ?
I've got a great solution - I keep looking at photographs of myself aged 12 and I've convinced myself I'm still young .
Better than shaving my bloody beard off , that was just silly .

Turns out that wasn't the problem after all.

Watering cans don't have holes in them , otherwise they'd leak .
It's the rose thingy at the top of the spout wot has the holes .
Hope you get to poo soon ., poor thing . Would you like me to tell you a scary story ?

Re: Little things that irritate you
The grass collection system on my lawnmower. It's a petrol rotary mower with a clip on grassbox. Start cutting and fairly soon it exhibits the symptoms of a full box. Unclip it and all the grass is at the front of the bag blocking the throat where it exits the blade chamber. It's about a quarter full, if that. Shove it all to the back, unclog the throat, rinse, repeat. It's a shame as it's a really good mower (Spear & Jackson push rotary mower with Briggs & Stratton 3.5 HP engine).

Try Dulco-Ease or talk to your doctor about something stronger (Laxido, or similar). I had apocalyptic constipation after being on a liquid-only diet due to dental implants and (drawing a veil over the horrors until it was solved) the only way I resolved it was with that. Otherwise, I might as well have been trying to crap out breeze blocks.vietnammer wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 3:07 pm As on a previous page, constipation.

Or it could be something that's outwith The Wheelhouse like the mast or the propeller or the engine room or the dining room or The Captain if he's down in the bar getting pissed having lashed the wheel with a bit of rope .
I'll have you know I have a Lifeboatman's Certificate so I know what I'm talking about -
Also , another true story -
One stormy Winter's night while sailing back and forth between Kyle and Kyleakin 5 of us were packed inside the wheelhouse sheltering from the wind and the rain - 4 of us were pissed and the other high on marijuana - driving those ferries was far easier than it looked .

It did end up in Balmacara one night , a few weeks before I joined - one of the ramps failed and just dropped into the water acting like a giant rudder making the ferry impossible to navigate so it drifted down to Balmacara and had to be towed back to Kyleakin by a Navy Base tug - Dear Dodo was Skipper that night , he never quite got over it but still continued as one of the Skippers , bless him , he's no longer with us , another victim of the demon . He was a lovely man .
