How about we have a friendly competition to see who can make the best use of a 6,4,2 and one pint plastic milk container that is relevant to our shared passion, or even just funny ? We could form a committee *shivers* to be the final arbiters/judges ... good or bad idea ? {:¬)#
N.B. PLease send your insults to me by P.M. :P
-
What's a 6 x 4 x 2? If lump of wood, why didn't you say so! Hmm. Taps foot in annoyance! >:(
-
Read above, Milk containers dopey ! *grinz*
-
Ok big ed, since when has a milk container been called a 6 x 4 x 2? Is that the standard EU description. I buy my milk in litres not 6 x 4 x 2's!
How many peeps would know that's what you meant? Er, none
-
Methinks Wardy is winding you up AikenDrum ... and you are biting .... ;D
Derekthefox :D
-
*thwaps wardy*
Edit, did I or did not use the term *pints* ? *thwaps wardy again, even harder this time*
-
Erm, scuse me...holding up hand...make what out of what? ???Just saw numbers and had brain freeze...can you say it really slowly, Aiken, while pointing to each word on flip chart? Ta! ;D
-
You too Lottie? I thought it was just me! Oh well as long as Aiken knows what he's talking about who are we to question :-\ Ok so we have a pint milk carton and a 6, 4, 2 and everyone, it seems, bar me and Lottie will know what that is eh Aiken. Thwaps Aiken back but harder ;D
-
Thwapping too, and slapping knees! ! Do you have to use the pint carton with the 6,4,2 erm or will 5,7,13 do, is any number allowed? Quite fancy 5,1,20 meself....
-
??? ??? ??? Must be my age ;) ;D
-
"6,4,2 and one pint plastic milk container" which part of that do you find confusing ladies ? .... has divine flash of inspiration and puts wardy & Lottie on the judging committee so they can't take part ! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Gawd, how many more times! What's a 6,4,2?
I know we're not all on your wavelength, or even same planet possibly :-\
It's not juse me and Lots, GG doesn't know what one is either
Do tell!
-
Practises talking to his yet to be born grandaughter Scarlett " Now dear, this big plastic bottle here is a 6 pint milk container, and this next biggest one is a 4 pint container ...... "
-
must be a Bedford thing Aiken - I knew exactly what you meant!
Overall comp or one for each size category? 6 pint = heavy wieght 4 pint = middle weight etc..
Some one has already won I think anyway - there was a thread months back on inventive things with milk bottles!
-
Story of my life ! < .... goes to put head in oven ... darn ! it's electric .... :-\
-
I will tell you all something, this thread has got me rolling on the floor in hysterics !!!
Derekthefox ;D
-
I think I'll just take part on my own, one entry, one prize, it's mine .. no competition ! ;D ;D ;D
-
Is AIKEN speaking englishj??????????????? Still waiting for a male member to ADMIT he didn't know what he was talking about ???
-
Could be that I'm Scots .... I suppose :P
-
And oh no you don't!! Am not going on blinkin committee! Am surrounded by various milk cartons, loads of sticky back plastic, foil, woggly eye thingies, cotton wool and me piece of 1x2x97x56 and am going to win!!! ;D ;D ;D if can get me finger out of this glue pot... ::)
-
I understood it jack....clear as a bell...but then am scottish too...
maybe wardy n lottie are having blonde senior moments ;D ;D ;D
am running...before they get me.. :P :P :P :P :P
-
laffs out loud @ Lottie
-
jaggy, I think it's a conspiracy to undermine my lateral thinking ability coz, as you know, women only think in straight lines ..... *slams door behind him as he runs out*
-
Jags, am not blonde!! And, I'm nippy!!! Aiken, when I unveil my creation, you will be in awe.... you're just jealous cos you know mine's gong to be better than yours.... ;D ;D ;D ;) and am also using 12x5x76 for greater impact....
-
Your Scottish English is at fault AD! You should have said take four plastic milk containers, eg a 6 pint, a 4 pint, a 2 pint and a one pint. Then we would have known what you were talking about. You HAVE to be specific not WOOLLY minded as possibly you were last evening for some reason .........
-
76's were made illegal last year by the Health & Safety Standards Institute ! :P :P :P
-
wardy, so far 3 people understood what I meant, and 3 didn't ... the defence rests. ;D
-
Oh does it! No, it's your fault entirely for being vague. Had you been more specific then there would have been no room for doubt. You are guilty as charged. Confess ;D
-
wardy, I have decided to take legal advice on this matter. Expect a letter from my lawyer ....
-
I hate to tell you this AD but in a former life I was a lawyer. Hope you got all your facts and a fat wallet. Your only chance mate is a plea of insanity. Take that! ;D
-
Unfortunately I can't plead insanity, I've got a letter from my psychiatrist to say I'm OK now, and this really nice Nurse that gives me my tablets says I'm getting better and better every day now .....
-
Hey!! Over here!!! Will you two stop bickering and help me get untangled and unstuck..... have gone a bit overboard with sellotape here.... erm.... so there's no wood then? Just milk cartons?? Oh for Gods' sake!!! Have to pop to shop now, am outa glue!!! ::) ::)
-
Use whatever you like Lotttie, as long as the container(s) is/are the main feature {:¬)#
-
Friendly competition eh.
Lottie I'm focussing my artistic talents into fashioning a guillotine type construction. Ouch just cut my finger there .....
-
was that the finger you were waving at me wardy ? :P
-
Exactly AD! Just make sure you don't stick that neck of yours out too far :o
-
Aahhhhh .... divine intervention again, vengance is mine ....
-
Wardy and Lottie shall we humour him? Poor thing is just having a bad day ::) ::) ::)(bet he loves it really) Lottie you had better come up with something good. :D
-
Like a good dough .. Aiken rises above it all {:¬)#
-
And in the words of Elvis....Thank you very much....am just having quick word with Aiken's doc.... ;D ;D ;D
-
I think Lottie wins.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
moonbells (giggling merrily)
-
The return of the Milk Monitor Lottie ? :P
-
Cooo err lottie, that red pole looks painful for the poor thing, remind me never to ask you to dress me in milk containers.........whatever their size!! ;D
-
LOL!! Guess who couldn't work today... ::) ::) ::) ;) Just realized, better remove dress or Maggie will be livid when she gets in from school, it's her glitter disco dress..... :o ;D ;)
-
That's fantastic Lottie ;D Absolutely brilliant. Love the frock - I've got one just like it ;D It's not got a red pole up the back though :o
-
Thanks, Wards!!! How's that guillotine comin' along?? Have hidden all evidence, and returned to resembling a normal mother for the remainder of the day.....and would so love to see a pic of you in the pink glittery frock, minus pole of course..... ;D ;) Aiken has locked himself in the shed, with lots of nails and numerous blunt instruments...there's an awful lot of noise .....and muttering going on.. ??? ;D ;)
-
I'm having problems with the rheostatic controls on the flux generator which is causing asychronous allignment in the stepping motors controlling the central ion-pumping unit :(
-
Haven't you lot got something better to be doing?
PS I knew what he meant ;D and I was a lawyer in my past life.
-
Lottie
Whats her name and where does she drink....... I think I'm in Love
-
RC. Answer to first question...... NOPE
second question. I thought maybe you would ;D ;D ;D
-
Erm nope RC? Am having funny five minutes....well 24 hrs really, and Chris am so sorry, the shampoo bottle has taken a shine to her, her name? Mrs Poogob Butt-slaptyback..... ;D Aiken, don't forget to place the flux generator near the floogle flange before take off.....
Lorna, am still waiting for your entry....foot tapping here..... ::) ;)
-
Lotttie sorry to lets side down BUT I have a milkman call (I know expensive way but if I am snowed in he will still get here :)) so glass milk bottles wouldn't be fitting for the competition.
-
Ooooo nicely done.... ;D ;D ;D ;)
-
<puts hand up tentatively> Erm....I understood it first time too <runs>
-
YP. You could have lied ;D ;D
-
so .. where is your entry then Aiken!? ;D ;D
You can't be down the lottie in this weather (what is pinned to the gate if you are BTW!! drove past this morning and am intrigued)
-
On my way down there to check in a couple of hours daisymay. {:¬)#
-
Well as you can see I struggled a bit with the glue and string but as a half hour effort I think it is quite worthy.

-
How did you manage to sort out the transmission petemason ? {:¬)#
-
I fiddled with the aerial.
-

Hope you dont mind but I have changed her name to Mrs. Mophair. More appropriate to the age range the story is for.
See hereMrs Mophair

Eric, for a story like that, you can call her whatever you like, it's excellent!! I've printed it out, and Ol read it to the kids at bedtime. You're a very, very talented man. Thank you :-*

LOLOLOLOL! Now that really made me laugh! Thanks, Pete! ;D
-
I have only just seen this, I am laughing too !!!
Derekthefox :D
-
Getting the concrete to stay inside the string mould was hard but I am quite pleased with this.
-
Very impressive Eric although I have to say it looks like your soil is going to need a bit of TLC to get it up to scratch for spring.
Now I know my entry is a bit late but I had a bit of trouble getting enough beer cans together and then I had to sober up before I made my model. Welll, here it is:

Managed to get away with just using one 6 pint milk bottle as well - did not need the 1,2 or 4 ;D
-
I am definitely impressed by your imagination Redclanger ::)
Derekthefox :D
