Why has he rendered and lobbed bits of stone at the windowsill/frame?
Bloke who lives there won't be able to open his window now.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Funny. 'Hurling' is a term brought over by the Irish. It refers to chucking small, sharp gravel at wet cement. The process is a method of protecting the house against the elements rather than paint. Good dry dash will last years.
The downside is that it works best on brick. On traditional stone such as Whin stone, the preferred method is wet dash but even wet dash needs painting every 4-5 years. Weather shield lasts only 4 years up here max.
I wonder is anyone has ever contacted Dulux and claimed a refund on their claim - it would be interesting to see the indemnity in the small print they would pull out of the drawer should a couple of million home owners North of the border making a claim would sure make a hole in their profits.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Still don't know where to go and everyone around here has funny voices and seems to be muttering gibberish and wearing football shirts. One or two have even tried licking the car.
Have locked the doors and windows to stop them getting to me but now getting too hot and need a wee.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Distract them with alcohol and flee, for god's sake, otherwise you'll become one of them.0

No - that would involve a) lowering my window and b) interacting with the zombie like cretins.
I'm just going to drive around in ever increasingly faster circles until someone gives me directions to get out of this hell hole.
Just glad I bought the sawn off with me.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

That means you must have crossed the border.
Keep heading Norf. If you get to Edinburgh, you've gone too far. Look for a sign for 'Cowpat'. That's where he lives.
If you see some drunks lying around, chuck them in the back of the car. We can pile them up and use them as scaffolding.

Still waiting for directions - I'm now driving through some endless barren landscape devoid of anything save for potholes and the faint smell of effluent. Overall, it's a bit like Carlisle.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

That's that bleak boring bit between Carlisle and the borders. If it smells like Carlisle, that's because it is the smell of Carlisle and there must be a Westerly so you are near Canonbie. You need to stop going in anti-clockwise circles.
Get on the A7. Let me know when you crash into the bridge in the tight S bend near Hawick heading Norf.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Yes, when you get there ask for Emma, she's lovely. At least she was 30 years ago.0

Emma and Nina?
Mate, I don't have a friggin' minibus. And I can barely comprehend Nina - what happens when both of them start gibbering away and, undoubtedly, fighting over some nonsense?Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

You have to step in like a man.
BTW, Gazza and I are getting good at translating.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Step in like a man? I reckon that Nina could kick most people's heads in let alone a one knee'd pacifistic Italian.
Hobble away like a one knee'd pacifistic Italian is what I'll do.
Right - I've taken left hand turn. Where now?Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

If you are heading North, i'e the wrong way, you'll end up in the sea if you turn left.
If you're heading south, make your way to Dumfries and then the M6. That's the most direct route of escape.
FFS don't go due South or you'll end up in a godforsaken village called Dalrymple. They eat people from the next village and as a total foreigner, I fear you you will be used as something at the next Dalrymple gala.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

They are very very odd in Whithorn. It must have the smallest gene pool on the planet.
They all look the same.
They all talk the same.
(male or female).
I have a friend from Whithorn. He worked for PInewood studios as a set joiner for years but I still can't understand a word he says.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I lived in Kilmarnock for 4 years. It was sh1t. But I did see George Best play for Hibs at Rugby Park. He was past his prime then, fair to say.Matthewfalle wrote:still in bloody Kilmarnock. how big is this place?0
