    Buy a massive catapult, set fire to bike, catapult it into the buyer's garden. What could possibly go wrong?

    Dismantle it, saw up the frame into bits, take a sledgehammer to the wheels, then send it piece by piece in small jiffy bags?

    Should have ticked the "collection only" box really...

    I'm making a tidy profit on the delivery as I quoted £100 extra in case anyone really couldn't be bothered....

    Cut stem so forks can be removed, apply heat to appropriate area until hotter than hot lips Houlihan* then tw@ it from below with drift and big hammer.
    I fitted spare too fat tyres with tubes, plenty of clearance so long as wheels stay true.


    * Not that hot imo

    Grab the stem as hard as you can, then bash it out as fast as you can.

    Just had to go and help a neighbour with electrics tripping in her kitchen. There is a plug for the dishwasher fitted under the kitchen sink. I mean, directly under the tap. Seriously!?! How the hell is that legal? So the tap is leaking and unsurprisingly the water is dripping straight down into the plug.
    I took the box off the back of the unit and wrapped it in a plastic bag so any water runs off it rather than into it. Told her not to use the dishwasher and avoid using the tap.

    V the regs used to say you couldn't have sockets within touching distance of the sink, sadly a lot of kitchens are tiny so they changed the regs and started installing rcd trips to everything and fitting the sockets anywhere.

    Ah, didn't know them roolz had softened. Where's the H&S elf gone?

    Just had a cracking pub dinner, the good old haddock and chips done perfectly. Been ages since I last had that.

    Meanwhile, I'm sitting in the corner of the bar minding my own; fat lass on the next table is waxing lyrical to her pal about her partner / husband's shortcomings. 2 hours later, still going on, with increasing % of swear words. Nope. Did not do the kind intervention thang of 'girl, you know you need to kick the xxxxer out, right'.

    That's insane, in this particular instance loads of room just shoddy workmanship and laziness. Thankfully the rcd tripped, but it's asking for trouble.
