Wolf.... :-)

You did better than I did then. I was shovelling a pile of sand from the kerb into a wheelbarrow.
A man came across the road and told me I was useless with a shovel and if he had time he'd show me how to do it properly. Then carried on walking.

[sunny-dave]

I'm amazed he could walk with that shovel up his fundament, gness?

I love it when men make an assumption of incompetence because we are women.

When a very well known company sent their lads to install a cooker their drill couldn't penetrate the very old concrete wall. I watched them struggle then asked if they would like tomorrow mine. One of them could barely lift it and the other one couldn't insert the bit. I told them to mark where they wanted the holes.... Sauntered off blowing smoke from an imaginary gun.

rowan - being useless is a useful talent to have.

[rowanwitch]

Never mastered that one

[gness]

Indeed, Rowan. I love decorating. I love wallpaper and I'm really good at hanging it....MrG wasn't.
The number of people who complimented him on a finished room was a bit annoying. :-)

[rowanwitch]

Husband one was useless, but he was ok with that he was happy to pay for things though, Female partner was brilliant at gloss, never needed masking tape, so we made a great team, Dave wasn't fit enough, so I didn't do too much while he was alive.

I have a problem following instructions, either verbal or written and I can't easily copy what someone else is doing (ie aerobics classes). It is as if my brain and my body are not on the same wavelength.

These days I am unsteady on my feet and if I get down to do something getting back up is not so easy.

My brother is both intelligent and good at practical things and DIY, he is also very sarcastic and cruel to his sibling. He calls me crazy auntie wolf to his children - they just tell him that he is nasty.

I have to be nice to him as he is coming up to visit to help me with some DIY-type stuff soo.

[gness]

Wolf, my brother taught his boys to call me Anticyclone...which is a large wind system.
He then, because of my name and the meaning of anticyclone, taught them the little ditty about the Auntie with the canary up the leg of.......

He's lovely but with a dangerous sense of humour....wonder it that runs in families? ;-)

[wolf63]

Gness,
my brother and I are very different and yet we are similar in many ways. We had a hilarious father-ted type day out when we went to lay my father's ashes to rest. We can both find humour in strange situations.

His kids are of a strong Scottish/Irish with a little English mix.

[gness]

My brother and I shared the care of our mother through Alzheimer's. Luckily we share the humour too as it was so often needed. :-)

[Barmaid]

My brother used to put very large, live, spiders in our beds. I hate him. He still let me do a speech at his wedding though!!!!

[gness]

Advice for anyone with a brother like ours. Never let him be in charge of the on/off switch as you are leaning over the pond pump adjusting the flow of water. :-(

// Sauntered off blowing smoke from an imaginary gun. //

Sounds like you've got yourself an SDS drill there witchy.

You'll need your big girls pants on if you intend drilling around with that thing.

Word of advice (in fact to everyone), don't ever use it if you're up a ladder!

[ZebuSanctuary]

// I hope you're not speaking from experience, Zebu? ;-) //

Not on your nelly.

I'm not having you laugh at me at my expense ;-)

[ZebuSanctuary]

// Did I laugh? You bet I did... (cut)... Nor did I stop to render assistance. //

Oh no, Zebo!

This is to fly in the face of what your name represents... i.e., A person always willing to help others in need. The nicest person you will ever meet.

It now begs the question; how many copper nails have you hammered into those problematic Leylandii trees in your time? ;-)

[andy-hughes]

I am advised that this s a 'light-hearted' post, and to 'see it for what it is'.

I fail to see anything 'light-hearted' in a couple of thuggish idiots damaging property, or the fact that they could have killed themselves with their nasty action.

As for 'seeing it for what it is' - I absolutely do.

[douglas9401]

Typo: 'alight hearted'.

Although I’m nothing like him I’m beginning to feel an affinity to Lord Voldemort - he who must not be named. :o)
