    Thinking of playing a little practical joke on the man who owns the house that we are currently staying in. He has many fine furnishings, he has beautiful objects all over the house, paintings, kilims, precious vases etc. Anyway, I wanted to give him a bit of a surprise by maybe gluing a tumbler to the ceiling with just the right type and strength of adhesive so that it will fall and shatter on the terracotta floor tiles, preferably during the night, but in any case, a sufficient number of hours after we have departed.

    So what type of glue should I use? Key points are that it should dry transparent and be strong enough to fix a tumbler to the ceiling but weak enough to finally let it slip and give him a shock.

    A mix of lizard saliva and partridge egg whites would do the trick.

    I have a spot planned in the corner near an antique clock. No chance of it hitting anyone. But I like the idea of stupefying him with a mystery he can't solve. He'll hear the glass shattering, and be able to see the pieces, but he will not be able to make sense of what happened. This is a man who is very kind but has acquired all the finer things in life.

    Yeah, because people who open their home to lodgers or their daughters homeless jobless boyfriends really deserve to have their nice home vandalised...

    Grow up and thank them for letting you stay.
    You do realise you'll be out on the street after that sort of a prank?

    Silicone from a silicone gun should do the trick.

    Hope you get turfed out on the street afterwards though, you unappreciative w****er.

    You need to try the glue out first. Either glue your hands together or else glue yourself to the ceiling. Whichever one makes you happy.

    He has a silicon gun in the outhouse. Do people reckon a drop of that would work? Just had a look at the tumblers and they are weighty enough.

    Why do you keep mentioning his ‘affluence’?

    Why do you think that it is okay to damage his property because he is ‘affluent’?

    I see yourself as the most apt model of this male boardsie persona in a few years, the most apt since this persona was made.
    • you're on unemployment assistance
    • your own bedroom is filthy
    • the smell of TV dinners pervades the ace
    • you've queued I. the queue for mcdonald's si ce it has reopened.

    Your next main goal is to actually sit in mcdonald's again.

    Buy yourself a happy meal too..

    Leave the home owner alone. Ye begrudging whatmecallit

    I'd put money on it that this is all bollox. I'd be surprised if there is even a tumbler never mind a house. I'd say you got a little horn out of winding some of the posters up. Anybody I know who would do that wouldn't broadcast it first. My opinion its a load of bollox both the post and the poster

    If he’s as refined as you say he is, he probably has Teflon ceilings so your glue idea won’t work.

    I’ve a much better prank to play on him for you.

    Simply leave an unsigned Thank You card on the kitchen counter just before you leave. Say something nice about how you appreciated his kindness. Maybe pop a voucher (Blue Book or restaurant) into it as a token to recognise his hospitality.

    When he finds it after you’re gone, he’ll be absolutely baffled as to how it got there. Given your personality, there’s no way he’ll ever suspect you.
