Is it the kind of frog that turns into a prince OR is it the kind of frog where you kiss it and you turn into a frog?????..............

I have met a few blokes in my time who turned into frogs as soon as I kissed them!

You have to kiss quite a few frogs (and the occasional toad!) before you find your Prince

Where is Bedsit Bob nowadays?

Just thinking about the re-wire of the flat which I've had a letter about, will know more detail in a week or so. Since all areas of the flat will need to be made accessible for the electician(s), and most of those areas contain preptastic things which must not be seen by strangers, I will need to be rather well-organised about having things moved in/ out and around the place

Could you disguise some of the preps by stacking into a bed shaped rectangle and cover with bedding? Just a thought. Might be my "I'll get me coat" moment.

Hiding stocks in plain sight is a good thing to do. It does not work so well when you have three "double beds" in every room. :rotfl:

:doh:Umm, I may have exhausted the bed-shaped space already..........:rotfl:

Actually, my bedroom is only just a wee bit bigger than the standard double bed it contains, as it having about 10 inches of space on two sides of it, and an amount of floor just about wide enough for the door to open on the other side of the bed. Thus accessing the plug socket on the window-wall will involve climbing over the bed and wriggling into the little space down there (after I have removed some of the preps, because everyone has a go-bag, kelly kettle etc there, don't they?!)

If they want me to dismantle the bedframe, it's going to be a problem because when my parents helped me move, I'd disassembled the bed at the other end (pine bedstead we're talking about), they reassembled it here, something went wrong and the most-inaccessible screws are stuck in a won't go properly-in, won't-come-out-again-without-being-drilled-out position. So the bedframe stays, as far as I'm concerned.

:pI was hoping you weren't going to notice Bedsit Bob isn't around any more. We met IRL, had a row and it was necessary to bury him in an unmarked grave. He might be a while digging his way outta that one, and until such time, we will have to make do without his wit and wisdom.

GQ, regarding your rewiring, if they really are 're wiring', the electrician will know about everything in your flat.

Whenever I do any wiring it usually involves floorboards up, and everything moved to one side of the room.

Usually however nowadays electricians just put in a new consumer unit & sockets, and say they've 'rewired'.

Do you know which it is?

Will know more after the supervisor has done his visit next Friday. We don't have floorboards at Shoebox Towers, floors and ceilings are concrete, building frame is concrete with block infil walls. Gotta run - off to work.

Isn't that large mound in your allotment a bit of a giveaway???

Would that make BSB a Zombie?

One possibility to create more working space in the bedroom would be to rotate the bedframe 90 degrees, though you'd have to find an alternate location for the trays of tomatoes and the fray bentos frisbees.

I think it would technically make him early stage compost

Call it installation art. Then just act a little eccentric.
