I am, if I say so myself, very good at fixing things. As a result I often find myself using fundementally cr*p things fixing them time and time again.

Finally the only, and deeply viscerally satisfying solution is to apply a controlled kiss from my little friend.

Now I may need a new lawnmower, but by buggery I feel better.

    I just looked at the photo post-post as it were and realised that it could stand alone with the caption "I didn't do it!" :-)

    I had a dog like that, had to be in every photo, tart.

    The lawnmower looks very terminal, good work.

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    You missed the dog!
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    One of my friends had a Daewoo that he spent a load of cash on getting MOT ready, only for it to go bang on the way home with the fresh ticket, needless to say he wasn't pleased so we went at it with the double barrell and .22. :D

    That is Chopper. Chopper is fourteen and far too old to make off with a human hand.
