That's another no claims bonus sunk.

Holy carp! That sink hole clearly goes under the house itself. That guy at the window is crazy still being in the house!

On the plus side, if they can shore it up and line it all with bricks, it would make a subterranean level larger than the house itself!

I wonder if you'd get planning permission to develop the hole into something useful?

Odd & NSFW!

WikiPaintings.org - the encyclopedia of painting

As painting titles go, "The Camden Town Murder, or What Shall We Do For the Rent?" (Walter Sickert, c.1908-c.1909) is intriguing.

good find

Though burning £100k is too good for this grotesque piece of "art":

BBC News - Fake £100,000 Marc Chagall painting 'to be burned'

I've seen better painted by elephants.

When I heard this story on the radio I thought "Poor sod, at least let him enjoy the thing as a piece of art if it's worthless"

But having seen the piccie I can't imagine enjoying that on my wall.

If this was the original the fake was copied from, not a very good job:

Being in High Wycombe I don't think they can pin this one on the Coal Board.

Smashed my wheel on a pothole on Christmas day. The local garage bloke got a hammer and fixed it for nowt in about 5s fortunately.

I went up there a few days later to see if I could find my hubcap and there were 7 next to the road. None of them mine unfortunately.

There is always someone worse than you….

Before christmas I had a situation with my new car after it got a screw in the tyre on the way out one night. It was off the road for two weeks… Yesterday I hit a pothole in Bucks and blew the other side out so 5k on the clock and £800 down the tubes. I was feeling pretty ****ed off till I saw this families sink hole makes me feel better in some way

[xoggoth]

They'll probably get a phone call from their insurers saying the damage was nothing to do with falling into the hole. Oh yees!

One man's art is another's tarpaulin, I admit to me it's more suited to line a cat litter box or a compost heap cover, but each to their own I suppose

I saw the sunk motor story earlier, I wonder which insurance will have to cough up, guessing the property one.

Just knocked £100k off the asking price of their house no doubt

That was on "Fake or Fortune" earlier. I do like that programme - interesting mix of art and science.

I quite like that painting too - think her face says it all.
