How To Upset Tonyav.....

[gness]

Hi, Gness.....said the email.....what you been up to today?

Oh clearing the shed...says I....I found a huge box of MrG's thingies from work....fed up falling over them so I stuck them in carrier bags and put them out for the scrap man.....

What thingies?

Well.....John Bull Pressure Gauges......dial gauges...caliper gauges....loads of the flipping things....all measuring tools I think...though what would I be measuring with them.......☺

The phone rang.......there was spluttering.....THE SCRAP MAN!!!!! Send me photos!

So I did.....but that seemed to bring on some sort of fit.....

I thought I'd calmed him down by saying I didn't include the Huddersfield Slip Gauge Block Sets.....til I said I intended to crazy glue them together in a kind of Jenga ornament to hang in the garden.....

Tony splutters a lot, doesn't he.......☺

tony the tonsil I call him

Ruddy 'ell!

The title of your post had me seriously worried for a moment. I though that there might be a national brewers' strike planned!

Lol :-) jenga ornament sounds a brilliant idea. I might try that too xx

[pixie374]

I thought there was a goat shortage.

I am impressed that you knew what they were gness. My dad's shed was full of metal tool things. Wonder what we did with them.

[DTCwordfan]

talk about throwing a spanner in the works..........

[cupid04]

Are you saying tony's a bit of a tool ;-)

[Peaspeculiars]

Nah, Tony would just go down to 'Goats R Us' to get a replacement, whereas John Bull pressure gauges being thrown out.... well, I can understand the spluttering ;-)

[gness]

Think Tony would have been happier with a brewer's strike than hearing what I had done....☺

I like unusual ornaments, Pixie......seems the two boxes I have are quite valuable.....but would make a nice dangly thing...

Wolf....I only know because I read the labels on the boxes....x

I think I scared him recently too, sending a text completely out of the blue, which was meant for somebody else. He's probably having a lie-down now.

[tonyav]

It's ok, Chris I've had a drink now and calmed down a touch !.

[pixie374]

Sounds good. Are you spraying the dangly things black?

[tonyav]

Yeah, that was interesting, pixie ;-)

[-Talbot-]

Surely this thread has been pre planned?

[pixie374]

Lol... Sorry tony ;-) shhhhhh xx

[Peaspeculiars]

'Painting dangly things black?' - Pix, who are you asking? Gness or Tony? What on earth was in the text you sent him? ;-)

[pixie374]

Lol...gness... What Tony does with dangly things is up to him... :-). Erm...nothing xxx :-D

[gness]

I'm not saying what I'm doing with the dangly thing....Tony's had enough for one day....

I have brought the gauges in.....and dried them off a bit.....that excited Tony too.....I put them on top of the cooker and he took the mick about me only using a cooker to dry pressure gauge things.....

Peas seems to know what they are?????

[Peaspeculiars]

:-D

Talbot, I think the only preplanning gness does, is making sure she has 999 on speed dial before she starts...
