Puzzle game procrastinator!
The plan today is take the family dog out for a long walk with my nephew.
If he ever gets up... He makes me look like an early riser! :okay:

Ha - that got him up - he surfaced just as I finished typing.

When I suggested leaving a bike here I got the distinct impression that that was NOT going to happen! :laugh:
I checked... NO WAY MAN! :laugh:

Apparently there's been an attempted dognapping in the area. Unfortunately for the sheetbags the guy is a martial arts trainer and saw them off. Anyone comes near my Bruce I'll go all Jack Reacher at them.
Sheetbags at work here yesterday... My sister thought she saw a shadow on a rear window. She looked out of the front of the property and saw a white van driving off. Various bits and pieces have gone from the back garden, including a pile of copper piping that she was going to take to the scrap yard. So much for little Devon villages being crime-free!

STOP PRESS!

My sister has put a security camera in now. My nephew just checked the footage and... a white van was parked outside here again at 09:00 today! This is a quiet lane to only about 50 properties and there is absolutely no reason for someone to stop here unless delivering a parcel, and there have been no deliveries. Hah - we can see that he drove up the lane one way, turned round and came back. Stopped. Looked up at the camera, then drove off again. We have a clear photo of his number plate.

And now I have just seen a white van shooting by... I didn't spot its plate.

It could be that this is just a delivery driver who is lost, but most drivers use SatNav these days.

Anyway, the word is being spread around the village now. If the scrotes keep on doing this then they are going to get caught... :cursing:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Yep..... been the same for me until I was offered it.
MrsD says she will definitely NOT have it.
My dad always refused to have it as well. He had it once and felt so bad that he never had another one.

Just had a call allegedly from Amazon saying that my Amazon prime has been auto renewed and do I want to continue or have a refund. No doubt they would need me to give them the details of my bank account to do that. I don't think so. Jog on:laugh:
