If you do want the dimensions of a swan pedalo to see if it'd fit:

£3,750 to buy one.

HOW BIG!?

Haven't you lived in smaller rooms than that?

The Doozer Truck is too narrow by 10cm and too short by, erm, 1.39metres! Need another plan. Somewhere with smaller pedalos?

Stick it on some skateboards and tow it.... only need to get it to the nearest river, then we can pedal it.

I don't know how to use the kettle..... I'll have to ask. It'd been boiled this morning and he said "help yourself to coffee" .... and I struggled to work out how to get the water out of it for 2-3 minutes; daren't ask too many daft questions as he's just a lad and I should know this stuff, being old

Everywhere there is a mixture of shabby/old (looks valuable) stuff and original unframed oil paintings... looks partly like a reclusive old lady's collection ... on the other hand there is every Tatler going back 5 years nearly stacked in date order .... and labels of things that are so posh I've never even heard the names mentioned... but you can TELL they're super-posh Shoes have individual little shoe horns in and are highly polished.... Crockett/Jones... so posh even the website doesn't tell you how much. And I just googled the aftershave name ... *gulp* £187/bottle ... blimey! How the other half live eh!



So ... I tiptoe around and daren't touch anything. He's very nice and says "make yourself at home" .... it's like sitting in Buckingham Palace waiting for the Queen to come in, you daren't touch anything!!

I must be doing something wrong... he's just a lad who works in a shop ... maybe he's a gigolo.

it's a ridiculous overreaction by the police to arrest him. so many far worse things have been said about so many people on the internet (and face to face) that choosing this to make an example of is pathetic.

The FA are as bad, Rio is being hounded because he laughed at a joke

Whilst Ferdinand was merely responding to a tweet made by a third party he must have been aware that doing so would be seen as either condoning the original message or at the very least promoting it’s contents to his 3 million+ follower

that's stupid as well, but as far as i am concerned the FA are entitled to set whatever standards they want for footballers, and to hold them to those standards.

personally i think the standard should be "professional footballers will have their FA registration cancelled if they are found to have used twitter".

No, you'll laugh at me ... it's just a kettle..... and I'm guessing you have to turn the electric ring on and sit the kettle on top. However, I'm petrified it's some expensive thing with its own base elsewhere.... and maybe he just placed it on the hob top once boiled....

It's like an old-fashioned whistler.

The thing is, I'm not somebody that goes poking about, or trying stuff .... in case it ends up in tears. So I daren't just turn the ring on and put the kettle on it ... in case.

Touch not, break not.....

No one will laugh.

And if they do you can salve your pride with a cuppa coffee, so a bit of goggling worth it.
