    WANTED: Kayak urgently required.


    Who 'urgently' requires a kayak? And why? I'm almost tempted to reply just to find out.

    Check your weather forecast, maybe they know something that you don't & don't want to cause alarm by requesting an ark.

    Blimey. And I'm now nervous because there are two kayak requests on the 'wanted' section, and from different people.

    Guess I'd better get a cuppa :coffee: and wait for the inevitable.

    Do you think it would be heretical of me to follow that up with "Wanted: animals. Fourteen of every species (except ones that float and ones that swim)"?

    Flippin' cheek!!
    Hi We are ripping out our kitchen today. In good condition. Please get in touch by phone (number) and if you can give us a hand in the process that would be great too.

    It's FREEcycle for a reason!


    Also:
    Hi if anyone has a bicycle in good working order suitable for either a man or woman please get in touch.

    For a man or a woman as opposed to...a fish?

    Sorry, completely off topic but couldn't resist.
