Eh, nothing beats the good ol' pig pen to do that, and as a bonus, you get to be friends with the pigs - the pink, oinking ones that are made of bacon and sausage material, not the ones in blue with batons and sirens on their cars!

Today - digging base for patio #3 Mate popping over later. Tonight beer / wine & snoring in front of the telly.
Tomorrow moaning about my back & finishing of what I didn't do today. Evening - Wine & snoring

Probably cheaper than a divorce...

You can get some good deals if you can wait a while....

FTFY

Are you suggesting ? Rolling Pin -> Carpet -> Lime -> Deep hole -> Patio -> Wait & claim on life insurance!

Lets hope Mrs V doesn't get ideas!

Have we reached a consensus on what this is a euphemism for yet, or are we still grubbying our filthy little minds with anticipation on what it might be? I guess it all depends on the chosen colour of said paint...

Y'know, I think the Germans can probably just about afford it themselves...

Good idea.

Chris Kyle should have thought of that.

Me?

I'm mostly sneezing.

And sitting in here with the curtains closed to keep the infernal sun &

I've got my German B1 TELC exam tomorrow morning. Need the certificate to apply for Swiss citizenship. Putting up a ceiling light for a friend in the afternoon.
