The "Vernon" point scale

[Andy_R]

Having just had a post of mine regarding using a roofers torch to remove weeds refer to Vernon, I got to thinking. "What would Vernon do" For those of you new to the forum, Vernon was a wild man. He was Guy Martin with a degree and so many more pies, bikes, bagpipes and stationary engines. A Legend. Should we start awarding Verns to out there ideas and down right creativity. My first Vern would be to @loopybike

I don't know what the Venn diagram would look like, but I suspect a Vern and a Darwin Award would have an intersection.

Maybe more of a Vern and a melted pair of Crocs

Conducting any sort of vigorous activity at foot level while wearing a kilt is clearly reckless. Scottish dancing springs to mind.

Wouldn't one have to blow stuff up whilst dishing out pork pies?

You could blow stuff up whilst making the pastry for a pork pie, if I remember correctly it involved boiling water and fat/lard up together then attempting to stir it.

Thanks. I think! Lol

I'm actually quite a normal, some say boring, person. Just a normal bloke who actually builds his stupid ideas instead of dismissing them. And you only get to see the bicycle ideas.... Currently I'm also making my own car, invented and made the first toilet roll holder mobile phone holder (for hands free chatting) as well as a device to make wallpapering easier.... And many more lol
Oh and Fred, now he was a ledend. Rip

His narrative of the burning ping pong ball still makes me cry with laughter.

I think a coffee tin, a tin of hotdogs, a bottle of meths and a lighter are in order....

What a lovely thread.

Is that "in order" or 'on order'

I 've been wondering if the Encyclopaedia Britannica recipe for gunpowder is still somewhere out there on the internet. It served me well. It very nearly killed me too.

Don't try it at home, kids.
