No more placcy?

[Penners]

That's pretentiously excessive use of wrought iron. Who's he trying to impress?

If it's me, then he's definitely succeeded.

Well, maybe it wasn't a male smith, and it wasn't willie waving, simply a woman fannying about?

So how did you dispose of the ones you removed when you fiitted wooden windows to your own home?

It was one of the following:

1. I removed the glass and dumped it in the car park of a local beauty spot at midnight, I burnt the frames on my bonfire using a polar bear soaked in petrol as a fuse.

2. I sold some of it on Ebay, raising £250 and had a licensed waste disposer collect the rest.

What happened to the waste from the disposer? I'm interested to know how it was all recycled.

Tsk; that's where you're going wrong. I always use pandas or ocelots. :roll:

 

[Penners]

For shame! What a waste of a good ocelot. Next time, keep it for pulling through blocked drains.

They're the only big cats that pur.

I just wonder about the person who installed those placcy windows in Manks' house.

Bet they were assured they would last thirty years at least, no maintenance, were a thing of loveliness and would add hugely to the value of the property.

Oh - and were a 'green' solution besides.

They were perfectly good when I took them out, donkeys years of life in them. But they did not, in my opinion, suit the house.

And I had a spare polar bear to use up.

 

[Nemesis]

Ah - but happy to allow others to live with polluting shite.

OK. It probably paid for the replacements.

(Now Matt - what was it you said about some being part of the problem?)

 

[Manks]

Errrr..... they were already in existence, so probably better that someone else used them?

OK. It probably paid for the replacements.

Don't be silly.

I meant the two hundred quid ones you seem to buy regularly.

Still, Mr Vernon has been told off for trying to be clever.

It will never do, he works with his hands and should know his place.

(I know, it's been an evening of Lark Rise followed by Sense and Sensibility, me lud.)

 

[Manks]

You are getting confused Nemesis. Time to leave off the sherry I think, and ask nursey if she will put you to bed.

 

[Nemesis]

Not at all. I am very with it, but maybe you've been at the port. Bein' squire an all that, the cottage impovements for the poor folk?

Do re-read the thread. there's a good lad. Or have you been breathing in the fumes from the MDF?

We do look forward to the pics of these windows, though, the two hundred quid fitted ones.

 

[Manks]

Here you go Nemesis.

Could we see what you have done with them?

So far they look shite. Can't believe anyone would install them, but there ya go.

I fit them to cheap houses.

What would you fit instead? Really. These houses may be worth £80k tops. Th windows are rotten, what would you fit?

[Nemesis]

Something simple, wood and non - polluting.

I'd try really hard to not be part of the problem. I'd seek some other solution.

I couldn't sleep nights.

Pictures and prices?

How would you stop the owners from using petroleum based paints?

 

[Nemesis]

Oh, shoot em.
