    :confused:But what is there left to vote on? We know who has been evicted from the Big Badger House and there is no need for any more to take a walk.


    Nah, the eviction's done...we could have votes for:

    - Is his daughter really ill. Vote A for Yes or B for he's down the pub.

    - Should BL dump his stuff in the garden or freecycle it?

    OR...a competition

    Did you find anything dodgy during the clear out??:D :rotfl:

    Aww, you'll be disappointed to discover that the earwax coffee mug thing was as bad as it got :p . Old Pringles, used tissues and some (unused) condoms - nothing discriminating really!

    Lodger2 wants his CD back, though - I've given him custody of the plastic case :mad: . Apparently Lodger1's still harbouring another one that wasn't present. Not to mention my wardrobe pole! (have I mentioned that before???)

    Wardrobe pole - I don't believe you have...unless I missed it?

    What's that all about?

    Oh, whoops! Sorry :grin:

    Well, it was just that before he bought all his own furniture, one of my Granddad's wardrobes was up in his room. He suddenly announced that he'd bought a new one and therefore wanted rid of mine. No chance I was Freecycling it, I rearranged my room to accommodate it.

    I went up to his room, took it apart, and helped him carry the parts downstairs. Then, about a week later, my mum was over and she gave me a hand putting it back together in my room. But we couldn't find the pole anywhere.

    It was ages before I got hold of Lodger2, and he said that he'd spotted it in his van and wondered what it was - he'd been clearing out a load of rubbish and one of his employees had picked it up, saying, "This doesn't look like rubbish to me." It was therefore being stored at his office, and he promised to bring it home on several occasions.

    That was all probably 6 weeks ago now, and I still haven't had it back. My coats and dresses are folded in a neat pile next to my wardrobe.

    I guess I can see about trying to source a replacement, but it's tricky getting hold of something that's exactly the right length and diameter, and you can forget about colour. The pair of wardrobes (now side by side in my room) were top-of-the-range when my Granddad bought them in 1970, and they've been kept in immaculate condition. Now, I didn't expect a lodger to handle it with gloves and bubble-wrap, but I didn't expect them to lose part of it! :rotfl:

    Whenever I've reminded him of it recently he's just changed the subject... :(

    I reckon they've been playing Star Wars at the office (we know what men are like lol) and he's broke it....

    I was wondering if he were going into the film-making business, like our old friend Bruno!

    You don't want to know and should consider yourself very lucky that Bruno, umbrellas and now wardrobe poles, are mental images that you do not have to suffer.

    Bruno is a nutter. Real. He's had several YouTube IDs banned/removed, including the whole lot of videos where he went from being an angry nutter through his whole gay phase, including a demonstration with an umbrella handle.

    His current bunch of videos (no umbrellas, no cross-dressing, etc) is at:
    http://uk.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=jamesgrantson&p=r

    He has been posting links to the House Price Crash Pub Meet video for the last 2 weeks or so under various names, quickly removed.
  • Badger, I would stick a prawn inside his curtain pole as a Thank You for being such a good tennant. :D
