Stoooopid question.... :)

[darcyvuqua]

By coincidence I've been reading about Piddocks...................whether young or old, they are incredibly boring. So boring that they can burrow into rocks..............and are responsible for the wholly, holey stones I found on the beach today.
Piddocks – anything but boring

But I digress, sorry for the tangentisation It was a new word for me so felt bound to share it

As you were.....................

There's VC in to derail everything

Bill I would just point out I am older than him.

You are quite correct though it's not an age thing it must be either inborn or taught at an early age. Just as common sense is taught at an early age.

Bill is quite right - pillockdom is not necessarily age-related.

Of course, one would like to think that as we get older, we get wiser, so being pillock at a young age is a bit more forgivable than remaining a pillock in advancing years, but there is definitely a case of some people being once a pillock, always a pillock.

You will have to exert tact on this one, G4 (HAHAHA!) if you are going to keep feathers unruffled, but not have the pillock give your Clients a bum steer on this (and other issues).

[Dorothy rouse]

Think you can get away more with advancing years into 'acceptable pillockdom' , tho can't you!

Maybe it's more like 'eccentricity'?

[maytreefrannie]

I don't want to upset the arrangements, as he is a useful odd-job man, and can do lots that I can't. (Like shinning up trees with a (running) chainsaw dangling from one hand !!!)

G4 - Please please please, don't emulate him - there might be more than twigs and branches pruned.

[alldigging]

I think you should show them the difference the mulch makes. Explain why you believe it's a good idea.

Buy a secondhand copy of this, and present it as a gift!

Could I point out that anyone who climbs a tree with a powered up chain saw is a complete and utter dangerous pillock not only to himself but to those around him.

I doubt he wears the correct protective equipment so one slip and there would be chewed up bone and claret everywhere. He would not be the first idiot to decapitate himself doing this sort of thing and your clients would find themselves centre square in the following investigations.

Potty wincing at the thought

Yes, Potty, that's exactly what we're dealing with. Sadly.

[Glutton4...]

... some pillocks I know are teenagers. So please lets not always identify stupidity with age ...

Nobody was making any assumptions or equations, Bill.

[Glutton4...]

... You will have to exert tact on this one, G4 (HAHAHA!) ...

Struggling with that one, Hon!

[Potstubsdustbins]

G4 you are obviously up to speed on this one.

An old saying comes to mind 'give him enough rope etc.'

He'll make a fishing net??


Yep




I'm the idiot



Just trying to spread some cheer

[Potstubsdustbins]

As long as he ends up in it, hanging from a tree, the world will be a safer place.

[Glutton4...]

You two are Nutters!

But honest nutters
