    :rotfl:

    I've been through a hundred different possibilities in my head which excluding them all for some reason.

    Basically we have (if memory serves) something which:
    - Pretty much only has sentimental value
    - A dog can destroy/might be prone to destroying
    - Can be repaired (athough that line of work is unusual)
    - Few things implying the "repair" was on top of the original underneath (something about being in original state underneath and about OP's repair looking as if it had been pulled apart with force?)
    - something we'd likely laugh at if we knew

    Ventriloquist/puppet repairs? I think thats all i can come up with excluding everything else I've thought of because they dont fit the criteria!

    Yeah, it did seem to be too good to be true, getting away with it for 20 years!
    With the notable example, of course, of afore-mentioned non-payer who pretended to be dead....

    BTW, it gets even better, as I'd totally forgotten to mention this at the beginning - it is apparently poised to form a crucial part of Whacko's 'case' against me - he is claiming that I have made the item resemble his neighbour [/ QUOTE]

    You repaint the faces and attach new hair to porcelain dolls?;)

    This thread is laughs although not for you op. I thoroughly agree, give nothing. As tempting as it is, it could be used against you in several ways.

    After 2 years. I'd be sitting comfortably, ignoring and reporting. He's off his rocker.

    Maybe he wants the council to re-house him but they won't because he made himself "intentionally gnomeless"... ;)

    BIB - not necessarily - some dogs will eat anything, edible or not. My Airedale used to pull tin cans out of the kitchen cupboard, open them (not with a can opener either :D) and suck the food from them. :eek:

    You didn't say statues... and if mum is the word then you must repair statues of mums.
