Are you stuck for a christmas present

[Over The Hill]

Christmas presents!! Its still mid October!

I have got a dummy alarm box on my house. Well actually it is broken real one. You only need the burglar to move on to a different house. Rather like the two men being chased by a Lion; you don't need to be faster than the Lion, just the other man.

If you get three (or even 4) of those and gaffer-tape them together, what an awesome venetian blind-cleaning tool that would be! Just think!

True, you can only clean 2 spokes* at a time with just one.

*I'm assuming that's the only possible reason @ianrauk would want one.

Just seen another idea, A banana splitter

I don't know how I've managed to live to be this great age without one of those duster thingies. Q @stephec

Well I have heard you keep a dirty house.

Mrs S is down for a new bag and a new belt this Christmas.


The Hoover should work a treat again after that

I assume the "dummy" refers to a burglar who is fooled by this device. Much like the motion sensor device I rode past this am - it is rigged up to start a recording of a big dog barking. Unfortunately, for what reason I don't know, sound quality leaves a lot to be desired and the big dog sounds like a very old and hoarse duck which I suppose this might have the burglar ROFL until the police arrive.

[QUOTE 3330728, member: 259"]No. But that reminds me to start saving up for a free range turkey. It also cost me a couple of split spokes last year. And I don't even like sodding turkey. [/QUOTE]
Good reminder. When I worked at a radio station, I had a deal with a turkey farmer for advertising, and he paid with free range turkeys. My car was full of fresh turkeys for everyone at the station. I had a wild turkey near my bus route a couple of years ago. We'd see him every now and again, but that's not uncommon in parts of the States. And wild geese are so common as to be a pest.
