    Ooh.... he looks ***nice***. Different guy - the David Essex-alike would get the psycho roles, but he'd get the lead if he used *that* as his publicity shot. Yum.

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    They dismantled my bridge today....and none too soon it would seem as one of the joists was hanging on by a whisker and could have gone at any time I drove my car over it :eek::eek:. Most of the wood is rotten but they have, (as responsible builders :T:T:D), put temporary walkway in place which ( hopefully ) Numpty and I will be able to navigate following our visit tonight to the pub :D :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The postman is not a happy bunny..but I don;t care as he regularly thrashes through the (new - courtesy of top totty tree surgeons :cool:) interconnecting fence between me and next door rather than walk round :mad::mad:.....And Danny my alarm man (lovely guy bless him :A:A and far too innocent for us lot...although he clearly has Italian blood ;):rotfl:) ...well he visited today and was also pretty spooked crossing the stream on the "makeshift" walkway as well :rotfl::rotfl:

    Numpty has been an absolute star :T:T:A:Aand has dug over all of what is now called (obviously in his honour)......."The Monkey Garden"..in preparation for laying new "Guinea pig Lawn" :D

    In the mean time I have sat inside all day and worked.(:wall::wall:)..but at least have got one client off my books and can now bill some money at long last..:j:j.....sigh....only another two clients :eek: to write up to go before the weekend (when I am going up to see Auntie Smashed :j:j:D)

    Hugs to all...I am quite emotional at how good the garden is now looking :T:T

    The publicity shot is gorgeous - I wouldnt kick him out of bed on a Sunday morning I can tell you (or any other morning for that matter:rotfl:). I am sure if he submitted that then he would get more leading roles as opposed to the looney psychopaths that he currently gets (its the wild hair and staring eyes that does it:rolleyes:).

    If your postman refuses to walk around and instead damages your fence then contact the post office and make a complaint, plant some bushes with rather large thorns on them - that should deter him somewhat:rotfl:

    The bridge sounds scary but if you think about it, its not surprising that the joists were rotten as they have been submerged in water.:eek:

    Horace leaves to go and have a cold shower - she has come over all unnecessary at the sight of such a gorgeous bloke:D

    So, this is a thread without any smut?
    (and i'm hoping Charlie's the hamster, yes?)

    Good to see things are starting to improve Wol. I would make some lewd comment, but they all seem to have been used up. I'm betting though that it's not the bridge that is making some of the guys nervous.
