[Icyberjunkie]

Thats the same one so be scared, be VERY scared....{GG}.  She locks her men in the shed you know and only brings them out when she wants something <shiver>

[MikeB]

Wot like wanting your sweets and things

[Derek]

If she has an axe in her hand Mike you had better get ready to hand over the sweets.......and things!

Derek

[MikeB]

Nah I'll get AD to help me.  He's bigger than her, I know cos he pushed 'er off the sofa.

[Derek]

Don't underestimate the lass Mike...

My Governor is only five foot two inches and she scares the hell out of me when she's angry which is thankfully not very often

Mike, I've googled "How to get your slugs to line up..." and booked you on a course......don't say I never do anything for you...
Icy....just.....oh dear.....

[ellkebe]

Mike  - I only just read your sad plight re no couch grass so stuck on what to do with wayward slugs.  Problem solved - I spent part of my Christmas digging you up some lovely fresh couch roots and have carefully packed them so that they won't suffer any damage in the post - so, if you just pm me your address, I'll get them straight off to you.  No, really, no need to thank me ... I'll do the same for anyone who wants any .... 

[MikeB]

Thanks ellkebe,

That's one of the things I like about this site the generosity of the members, but sometimes not having something is good for charactor development.  So thanks again but I'll pass this time and if the lack gets to much I'll come back to you.  It would only be fair though if we swapped, so bindweed?, Japanese knotweed? I'll find something nice OK.

[ellkebe]

So that's a no then Mike?
Ok, still wanting to help, so how about I send you some of my trained-up slugs later in the year, and they can help you train up yours?  Obviously, they're not particularly bright animals, but if I send sufficient quantities, I'm sure it'd be a success. 
Yes? No? ......

[MikeB]

Might need to wait until I've done the "How to get your slugs to line up..." course that lottie has booked for me.  It could well be that after the course I will be able to go solo.  Thanks again for your generosity be sure I will think of a way to repay you.  (twirls his moustache and exits stage left).

Be reasonable

[Icyberjunkie]

You could always go for gold and upgrade to the slugs masterclass.  That way you could you train the slugs to act out each occasion for you.    Ta ra!  Problem solved......think I'll finish this bottle of scotch now.......

[undercarriage plan]

 
Icy, how can you expect him to do the Master Class without doing the Introduction course first.... Poor man will have out of control slugs running around all over the place, nothing more dangerous than a half trained slug...put the scotch down...and finish cutting that grass!
Mike, I really think you need to get your priorities straight...

[MikeB]

Don't think I haven't tried, but the curling tongs seem to be broken.

[undercarriage plan]

Slugs don't have hair....

[MikeB]

Idiot! They're for straighting me priorities

[undercarriage plan]

You need straighteners then... and I was a lady a minute ago!!
