Maybe we could have a t-shirt too about who we are married to. Trouble is then we would be back to the frying pan again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just about to pull the trigger on the old Master Card to buy NL and she who must be obeyed has her frying pan in her hand chasing me to "higher" grounds. Hey Karl, just do what I do and get to the mailbox before she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of using parking brakes on bicycles, we tie them up to the hundreds of bridges in Amsterdam. The rest (untied) bikes are stolen..... -Fred- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real numbers (unregistered) are much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Melbourne where I worked we even had the plants dug out of the flower bed and another time the plastic hose adaptor stolen off the tap, worth about 25c in those days. We reckoned if you spat on the pavement some one would steal it within seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I stole anything I'd never be able to sleep I'd be so wracked with guilt. Maybe it's just me but I despise stealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not alone Jack, there are plenty of honest folks out there, they don't draw attention to themselves unlike the thieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
