Hands and Knees

This is the funniest thing I've seen for ages... ;D

Ha ha ha, well just to keep the matter straight, I have already spent 99p on my first pair of pads, and I am going to be bold now, and risk yet another 99p on a second pair, just as a backup.

How is that for being rash ...  ;D

[Hyacinth]

Hold on to your second 99p Derek.....tell you what...I'll sell you mine at the all-inclusive never-to-be-missed price of a fiver (inc. p&p - how abt that for a bargain with the new postal rates?)...only used for 30mns or so 8)

[Curryandchips]

Sorry Alishka, I am a total fool and irresponsible when it comes to what I see as an unbelievable bargain. I will be picking up my second pair, probably tomorrow ...

[Roy Bham UK]

;D If this thread continues into oblivion I shall wear my knee pads on my ears ;D and my second pair on my eyes ;D

[Hyacinth]

;D If this thread continues into oblivion I shall wear my knee pads on my ears ;D and my second pair on my eyes ;D

ROFLMAO     just one thing, please Roy? Promise me you won't put a third pair on your knees........?  ;D  Pound Shops sell some corkers (ie the cloches?) an sometimes they sell dud-'uns....

[Merry Tiller]

Blimey, all this fuss over crap kneepads

[Curryandchips]

Well we have yet to see if they are crap?

And at 99p I am willing to find out ...

[Roy Bham UK]

;D MT youv'e bought some 99p ones haven't you and your miffed ;D I paid £1.50 for mine and they won't wear out, they are muddy and sometimes wet but still doing the biz 8) I don't want them to last for ever as I want to change with fashion ;D

[Merry Tiller]

Roy, I never kneel down, I'm more flexible than Olga Corbett

Curry, I'll bet you 99p they're crap

[Curryandchips]

That is a bit pointless, since I don't bet ...

[Merry Tiller]

Good job ;)

[Chocolate]

Curry could you get me a couple of pairs please I'll post you the postage and packaging.
Gotta be worth 99p.
Don't mind if your too busy and cant do it.  :D

[Hyacinth]

(big sigh) the + point abt the 99-ers is that they're only 99p or £1 and yeah I was suckered into buying them. Remember! I garden for a living & hand-weed 20 gardens PLUS my own, on a regular basis,  so knee pads seemed a good idea..
The - points are
1) they're too rigid. Your knees bang down on an unforgiving surface (the knee pads) every time you kneel - believe me, the ground from which you're presumably trying to protect yourself is a darn sight softer
2) They're a one-size-fits-all-fits-no-one rigid shape
3)to keep them in position one must tighten the straps so much that one's circulation is cut and that therefore
4)they actually restrict movement and
5)they make your lower legs go all tingly and blue :o

And THAT is why I'm prepared to sell my 30minute-used £1 kneepads to anyone prepared to offer me a fiver ;D

The goggles, tho, are a good buy 8)

[Merry Tiller]

Could do with some humour around here :'(

[MrsKP]

I thought it was hysterical.

[Chocolate]

Oooohhhh !! 

[Curryandchips]

I thought it was hysterical.

Ditto.

[Emagggie]

I think I'll put these on Ebay, given their popularity.

[Merry Tiller]

Good grief, is this still going on?
I wonder who will get the last word, it reminds me of when I was a child
