    Just a question on this.
    If you opened your package and there was a banana in it rather whatever you bought. Where do you stand as someone in the north has signed for the package as acceptable. Even if the item was in pieces, it's been signed for by a stranger that's it's perfect.
    Just wondering. ?
    well what i got wont be opened til xmas, had smallies with me when i was collecting it and i was asked a million questions about what was in the box.... i am sure it would be no different to signing for something from a normal courier, ya have me worried now

    Probably have a roaring fire in the living room and toast marshmallows there!

    Moving cattle in tomorrow and dosing all as they come in. Looking forward to that....

    Do any of ye get a lot of trick or treaters? I live in a cul de sac estate and last year it was mental at our house. Cars pulling up at the end of the estate and letting off children. I asked a few of them who they were and some of them were from two different towns about ten miles in either direction. I'm hoping it p1sses all evening.:D

    Just paint your wellingtons with the galv spray mentioned HERE in the General Guntering thread and leave them outside the door.
    The parents will think they're at Gary Glitter's house, and won't let their little darlings near the place :)

    Is there enough oil in it.
    It might have a low oil level cutout.

    decided to stay late in work - in the estate there could be over 100 kids - I cant manage that!
    dropped sweets into the neighbors for their kids, don't mind the ones I know but there are others.....
    neighbor told me Tuesday night that last year 2 roma gypsy mamas were at the end of the road with a shopping trolley each. when the kids came back to the door a second time they had swopped masks and outfits..


    a girl told me a few minutes ago in her estate (dunno where) in Dublin that her car was painted last year cos she was out of sweets. it was sort of confetti paint that washed off, still id rather not have it.

    I have the wife on door duty.
    as for bonfires i had a bit of a clean up this evening and lit a small one. i nearly burnt the same shed as i done last year. welding up another gate yesterday and the old man had left a gallon of petrol sitting a couple of feet from me. the outside of the can caught light and i just kicked it as far as i could into the open yard. a couple of minutes of flames and it was out. it really put the ****s up me again. it was this weekend last year i burnt the hayshed. once was bad enough but if i done it twice id have to give up.
