    Sorry no updates I've not heard nowt.

    I'd guess they are looking into the plans of drains sewage in the area first.

    Your optimism astounds. Me thinks they are still playing minesweeper.

    Maybe they have their own version sh1tsweeper?

    i am a plumber based in bury, i dont know nelly but he has a similar mindset to myself. nice to see a healthy interest in poo!

    nelly's got a decking
    with a river view thats super
    sadly what is bad for him
    theres a dirty rotten pooper

    he sits upon his decking
    in his peaceful tranquil spot
    when suddenly in the trickling
    theres a sudden awful PLOP!
    he rolls his eyes
    puts down his beer
    and leans to look at it
    its floating down the river
    yet another piece of sh*t

    he rang the man at north west water
    i say 'i've got a pooper'
    ' sort it out yourself' he said
    'or we'll send around a snooper'

    he tested all the drains himself
    and used two pints of milk
    he should have bought some tracing dye
    the dozy northern p*ll*ck.

    now he's waiting for a man to come
    with drawings of pies for sh*t
    he's going to say 'just look at this
    which one do you think is it?'

    nelly starts to scratch his *rse
    ideas begin to dawn
    i'll start it street by street he thinks
    i'll feed the b*st*rds CORN!

    he nicks a trolley from asda
    such a wicked clever chap
    'when they've eaten all of this
    it'll show up in their cr*p!'

    'how can i make them ALL eat this
    by the tin and by the bucket?
    i a need a more subtle way....
    cant think of it...
    OH FORGET IT!!!!

    nellys now back on his decking
    he cracks a can to chug it
    he lifts the can up to his lips......
    PLOP!!!:mad:

    ANOTHER F*&%$£G NUGGET!!!!:eek:
